To all,
I have a piping design handbook that illustrates offsets for slip-on flanges on elbows(90 & 45) and tees. I have been told that it is unacceptable to weld flanges directly to fittings, but can not find in the piping codes this regulation. I find it difficult to believe that there would...
Hi all,
I have been getting an annoying graphics problem in drawing mode when annotating my drawing views in Pro/E Wildfire 5.0 M050. I can be working along and shortly (7-10 menu commands) after the dialog boxes come up incomplete.(see image) It is almost like it is a phantom dialog box. If...
Quick question...
Is placing a copyright symbol within a drawing titleblock common? I have seen it done a few times, but I do not feel that it is correct, and the confidentiality disclaimer suits this purpose.
Take care & have fun!

Is there a way to drag components off the asm model tree and onto the work area to add additional copies of a prt/asm in the active asm? (like other applications - not naming any specifically)

Does SolidWorks 2011 still require a file conversion when loading the file? Do users still have to convert there assemblies prior to using them? or have they changed to do the conversion when the file is saved?

Does Solid Edge require a file conversion on the front end? (ie at point of loading/as opposed to back end at point of saving)If that makes any sense.
SolidWorks requires that older versions of Model/Asm be converted to the version installed (ie 2006-->2010).
The first loading takes sometime...
It is frustrating that SWX converts files when opening the documents... not at time of saving them. This significantly increases the time it takes to open an assembly. Granted that ounce the files are converted, the files open quicker... If only they did this conversion at the time of saving the...
At a previous workplace, PDM Works (workgroup) was utilized. It worked well and have since upgraded to PDW Works Enterprise.
In my experience in working with a PDM was multiple concepts were modeled and when the design was approved, the assemblies & components would be renamed to the part...
I have reviewed some information on CoCreate and found that I still have a hard time understanding their explanation of explicit modeling. I understand the all modeling is done in a fully rendered state. Is CoCreate and the whole explicit modeling package meant for designing concepts in a...
The quick question I have is, "How do you respond to the question HOW CAN THIS BE IMPROVED? if you were the one asking it initially and it is just fired back at you?"
Take care & have fun!

Just a quick question...
We are interviewing some applicants for design positions within our company. What kind of questions do you like to ask or test an applicant for evaluation purposes? (Specifically ones who indicate strong SWX experience) Just want to evaluate their level is as what...
I have sent an assembly c/w drawing to my VAR. I have come a cross a major performance issue that we still have no feedback from SolidWorks on. The problem is that if I open the drawing or the assembly, the load time is over 5 minutes. If I open the largest component (file size) first, then the...
I have found in a drafting manual that references:
MIL-STD-490 - Specification Practices.
MIL-S-83490 - Specification, Types and Forms.
DOD-STD-100 - Engineering Drawing Practices.
MIL-STD-961 - Outline of Forms and Instructions for the preparation of specification.
It specifies in 5.6...

This is not a big concern, but I have noticed that in saving SolidWorks files (*.slddrw, *.sldprt, & *.sldasm) the extensions have been saved in uppercase or lowercase. I have not been able to workout why it is doing this. I work with my extensions visible on MS WindowsXP Pro. Has anyone else...
Is there a way to add information to the Hole Wizard?
I am looking at using a ANSI Metric tap M18x2.5. The hole wizard only lists the Metric Fine thread pitch (M18x1.5). I want to add this additional tap to the wizard list but I am hitting a wall in finding were to add the info.
