Hello,
We have a PDM task to create PDF's, but I need to make a modification to add additional Named Sheets to the search.
What characters are needed in my search line to find and make PDFs for anything named Sheet1, Part, Assy, etc.
Two quick questions.
1) When I open the design table in a new view it looks good for a few seconds while it's loading but then the columns automatically shrink and I have to constantly select all cells to resize them. Is there a way to make sure the column widths stay and not automatically...
Hello,
Just curious if anyone knows of any tools within SolidWorks or PDM that can be used for tracking Part, Drawing, or Entire Project creation time? We're trying to justify the hiring of more designers but our generic time information really isn't flying with upper management. They're...
Hello,
I usually don't have to deal with this much but I'm looking for some helpful tips for adding a coupling to my route so it automatically comes in perpendicular to my tube/pipe run and also cuts the required size pilot hole. I'm assuming I'll need to create a file but really not sure the...
Trying to help out a former coworker that is now using 2012 SW.
I'm not sure the proper term for it but in 2016 SW you can click on your sketch dimension and add/subtract length to the current value to have SW to the math for you vs. using a calculator to figure out the adjusted dimension...
So we have standard configurable components. Usually the states are at Production but when adding a config we change the state to Adding New Configuration. After adding the config and check-in the file a lot of our designers forget to advance the states back to Production.
Is there an...
I found a macro sometime last year that hides/blanks out Planes, Sketches, etc in the model tree (Correct Location) instead of turning those features off in the View Menu. This macro works great but after awhile, I noticed the hiding the Origin in the model tree wasn't a good idea/option. I...
Basically what I’m trying to do is link my cutout pattern to match up with the size of my part. So no matter what size the part is, the square cutouts will be filled in automatically throughout the entire part.
The square cut needs to be 2” X 2” with a .25” web in-between. As far as the web...
Hi ALL,
We’re looking at possibly getting new computer’s in the near future. If you can provide me with your computer spec’s, along with the average size assemblies (Part QTY), and average load times for your models and would be great!!!
Currently I’m running:
Solidworks 2009 SP 4.1
Dell...
Has anyone tried or currently working with Solid Works 2010 W/ Win 7 (64 bit)?
I'm getting a new machine and I really don't want to use vista 64...
Thanks,

I’ve been experiencing problems with SW2009 where the views aren’t matching the model. From what I can tell it seems to fix itself if you hide the views and show them again or if you do a Control Q on the model and go back to the drawing… To help with this issue I’m wondering if anyone has a...
Is there any way to dissolve multiple sub-assemblies at once? I’m getting sick up dissolving them one by one. I know you could probably write some kind of Macro but I don’t have a clue where to even start with that, so if anyone has one for this particular issue and wouldn’t mind sharing it...
