    Lost ability to edit material

    In a part, when I right click on material in the feature tree, I can no longer edit the material. The only options that pop up are hide/show, collapse and customize. How do I turn this back on. Thanks Thomas

    Any good places to find solids of Dewalt drill parts.

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any good places to get solids of Dewalt drills. I'm working on a custom case and I'm trying to save some time and money by not having to buy and model them myself. The Kit is DCK955X for reference. Thanks for your time Thomas

    Trouble making a weldment path on a lofted face

    Trouble making a weldment path on a lofted face. I made a lofted face and sketch planes. I cut the face at each plane and made sketch from the edge of the face. The sketch line is a dashed spline That I cannot use for a path. How do I work around this?

    Weldments rendering weird

    I've been doing a lot of weldments as of late and creating my own profiles. These are all for handrails. In the part, it's rendering all the hidden lines visable even through a shaded drawing. I have all the hidden lines turned off too. This seems like a random event, it doesn't happen all the time.
