In an assembly drawing,
Do you put dimension as REF () or not in an assembly?
In 1.3.24 is clear as what is a reference dimension and it applies to assemblies.
In 1.4o gives an opportunity to leave it without ref but in an assembly this is not a feature but a stack on features.
Most of the...
I had a badly fabricated pin where on the drawing it was indicated 2" -.003/-0.007 and they machined it at 2" exactly (+/-0.0005). I've been in the code asme y14.5 1994 but it is not clear.
Code just claim we can put fit tolerance (where we have -/-) for metric fit. Other examples are just with...
Hi,
I want to make a rigidity study. I mean putting a load with rigid remote load (load is outside the part) and find back the displacement of this load. I'd like to compare 2 parts (rigidity vs weight).
My other alternative is to make another part threated as solid and bonded to my grasping...
Hello,
I just got a Dell M4400 with the FX 1700M card on Vista x64. It crash to desktop when I try to insert a view when in 2D. Any experience with this setup? Error is sytematic and return that Nvidia must close SolidWorks 2009 sp2.1 (error 13)

We can adjust the font of text on the welding symbol but I didn't find how to change the size of the symbol itself (it is too big).
Anyone know how to do it?
In a drawing, I've setted my primary dimension as fraction. For some dimensions I overrided them to decimal but I don't know from there how to control the number of digits as default. In unit you have the option to set the fraction denominator or the decimal numbers, not both.
I went to...
I did my own toolbox parts. In an assembly, some will show the toolbox fastener icon (a bolt) and other will show the regular yellow part icon. Where can I control that?
I'd like to switch to Open Office instead of using my old MS office 2002. I was wondering what would append with Solidworks about:
-Design table; will SW recognise open office instead of regular excel?
-CosmosWoks: when you do report, it needs word 2003 and above (I got a warning because mine...
When an assembly loads its part files, it used to ask me to find a missing file but now it just stay suppressed. If I unsuppres the file nothing happend, no asking.
This is just boring when you move a file from a directory to another, you cannot reopen the assembly file and wait for the...
Does Cosmos use multiple core? Does it use it in every aspect (meshing and calculation). I plan to buy the new dell m4400 and don't know what to choose between 2 core at 3 ghz or 4 cores at 2.5 ghz.
Thanks!
Hi,
I am in the process of buying a new Dell M4400 laptop. I was wondering if the M770 card included is better than a good gaming card we can find in the personnal gaming laptop serie.
Gaming laptop are less expensive and in desktop I've heard that gaming card are as good for less money than...
I imported a emn/emp file (pcb) and SW created a plane where it putted all the features (around 400). I have to move this plane and then all features since the board is thicker than modeled.
This plane doesn't have any feature to modify, it is just in space since it is imported or created...
While doing a frequency analysis in Cosmos, I tried to put a remote mass but I have no preview display. When I tried to run the analysis I got a message saying that my matrix is having a problem becuase orf remote mass #2 and I just have one remote mass.
Should I be able to do vibration...
I have an assembly using a bolt and a stover type locknut. In theory, friction is higher because of the locking mechanism so required torque for a specific preload should be higher too.
When doing the torque calculation (or using a supplied table) should I consider the locknut effect on applied...
