    Date code serial number G code or macro for Milling or CNC

    Does anyone out there have any G code or a macro for date code serial numbers? We use date code then 3 digits after it starting at "-001". This would save us from writing an individual program for every part to serialize. Thanks. B. Bernie SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0

    Save as with history.... ?

    We are trying to figure out if it is possible to save a file (model and drawing) to a new name and save the file history from the previous name. Is this something we would be able to do? This is a PDM Vault thing. Thanks! Bernie SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0 Windows XP Pro SP2, Pentium4 3.00GHz 2GB...

It looks great in my head, but my question is is this even possible to import...

    Detail Views Detail

    We are having a bit of a problem here identifying how a detail view should be shown. Solidworks defaults to a complete full round circle and we use a leader to identify which detail it is by letter. Then you have your scaled up detail "B" lets say down below the part. Well we have an old school...
