Hi all, We have upgraded to SW2008 sp3.0 a while back and I've found when an assembly opens and is missing a part, usually because I've changed the name, I am prompted if I want to find the missing file. I had to enable the message under Tools, Options, Advanced...(new in 2008) The message box...

Hi all, I've been getting a "failed to save" error when trying to save assemblies. I seem to remember seeing this before and got a macro to force rebuild all subs prior to save. It seemed to work for a while until now. Has anyone seen this error?

Hi all, Until yesterday, I've been able to save drawings of similar parts by changing the part number, opening the drawing, and re-referencing to the new part model. After I've renamed the part, it now seems the drawing(s) open without the "Cannot find..." message and the all views are empty...

Hi all, Search doesnt appear to offer much here. As I understand templates are pre set conditions for parts, drawings, asn assemblies. Things like units, fonts, etc. can be saved out as needed. Formats are drawing specific however. They contain border features, title block, custom properties...

Hi All, We have a vault located drawing template for all to use. It includes the necessary title block, border, etc. When I use this template however, the border and title block outlines are of a heavier weight than all others. Anyone know why this possible? Kind of defeats the purpose of...

Any thoughts as to why in 2008 tools were added to the top middle section of the graphics area? They appear to be unmoveable. As one who prefers a maximum of unadulterated space I dont see why these were placed here. Zoom,display, etc tools are easily accessible or programable with hot keys??

Hi all, While inserting parts into assemblies I find I cannot drag. First inserted part is fixed, but subsequent parts are not shown as fixed in the feature manager. They cannot be moved. I can mate them however? Sw 2008 sp3.0

Hi All, BOM for assembly inserted into drawing. Quantity column header lists "config. name"/QTY. Dont want "config name", just QTY. Changing text header in column will not remain changed. Any thoughts? SW2008 sp3.0

Hi all, I've always used three helix function to represent springs. One tight pitch for each end and one for the body. I could always add configurations for different lengths, including solid heights, as needed. Recently I began to play with the variable pitch option to form both ends and body...

Hi all, I create a broken out section of an assembly, add a center line sketch for reference and it also appears in the upper right corner of the drawing. Any sketch I add to this section appears there as well?? SW2008 sp3.0

Hi all, We just converted to 2008 this week and noted some changes(?) 1.Wwe frequently add sketches(text) and wrap to a surface, then change color of wrap to highlight. While it works on my system, it does not on a colleague's. The color option is grayed out. 2. I created a drawing and went to...

Hi all, Has anyone come across batch converters for SW files to pdf and .stl formats?

Hi all, Model properties drive drawing title block but not PDM information. Properties such as description, part number, have to be entered in the drawing properties to show upon check-in. I am looking to un-duplicate effort here by not having to add the same info twice. SW2007 sp1.1

Hi all, Need sanity check please. Drawing templates created with company title block. I want model properties to fill all title block info. Edit sheet format and link to property option gives choice of "current document", "model in view specified in sheet properties" and a pull down to choose...
