Does any one know how to do this ? We create some drawings of models with parts inside parts using multi-sheet drawings. Sheet 1 is the master weldment drawing where sheet 2 may be a laser cut weld in part. If for example I need qty 1 of the main drawing but need 2 of the sheet 2 laser cuts...
Does anyone know of a way to hide columns in a BOM so that they do not appear when printed but do appear when you save the BOM out to an excel or a csv file. I am on SW 2009 sp2
Thanks,
Having trouble printing from solidworks. Version 2009 sp 2.1. Seems to happen on larger drawings, all annotations will print but none of the model views. Has anyone else experienced this ?
Thanks,
Just wondering how others handle handed parts and assemblys in Solidworks; when it comes to things like naming them, making drawings for them and how they appear on the BOM?
Ok I used solidworks animator add in to make a quick 20 second animation. Looks great on screen when I run the animation in SWX, but when I try to save as an .avi file and use Solidworks screen as the "buffer" option, it goes thru the motions and seems to be creating the file, but when I try...
I'm trying to calculate the for required to press a 1/2 pin in to 1/2 hole... total interference will be 0.023" and the thickness of the receiving parts is 0.394. I was using the formula out of the machinery handbook P=(AxaxF)/2 where P is in tons, A is the area in contact between pin and...
I am looking for a material to try and suit all of my customers specs. They would like to see something non-ferrous which can be hardened to Rc-60. I don't think anything like this exists (and is readily available) so I am trying to come up with the next best thing. Any ideas? I thought...
Does anyone know how to make the "View Pallet" automatically fly out when a new drawing is created so one may pick the views of a part to drop on the drawing? I find now that sometimes it appears automatically while other times it does not... what drives this to come out ?
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem? I have a part with 2 configurations which I have mirrored so the LH part has those 2 configs in it. But later I have gone to the RH and added 2 more configs, but they were not reflected in the LH? Is this always the case? Do I have to recreate...
Ok, I'm am brand new to COSMOS works but have been using solidworks for about 5 years. I have designed a Hinge and now I would like to use COSMOS on the assembly of the hinge to help calculate how much weight it can hold. I tried goes through COSMOS putting bolt restraints on the hinge...
I'm looking to buy a batch plotter which will work for printing both Solidworks drawings and Autocad drawings. Is anyone else using such a software and having good luck with it?
Is there a simple calculation to help figure out weld times? For example I would like to know how long it would take a robot to MIG weld a fillet 2mm x 45 deg 26mm long. I usually just use 30ipm as a general welding speed but with such a small weld I'm not sure. Any ideas ?
Is there a way of calling out the type of fastener with hole callout ie "Hex Bolt" I know you can callout things like <hw-cbdepth> to get the counter bore depth, so I was hoping there was a way of calling fastener type I'm just not sure what it is.
I've notice sometime the small relationship icon sometimes appears directly over a point while other times it's off to the side? I know you can toggle them on and off but is there somewhere to designate their location ? When the icon appears over a point, I have trouble picking that point...
Can anyone help me with setting a default printer in autocad 2005? I only use autocad to print out drawings I get from customers so when I open a file to plot the 'printer/plotter' heading says none. I select a printer, print the file, and then close that file. When I open the next file I...
