    SW 09 Graphics card

    I am using a Quadro FX 540/PCI/SSE2 graphics card for SW 09 PR2, but I am not finding my card under my current computer specs under the Video Card Testing web page. What gives? I tired of getting "fuzzy" images when I use a large assembly.

    Drawing Standards

    Does anyone know the standard on my current situation? Here is the example: I have a certain drawing that has a release date of 11/7/2007 by the draftsman, and a date of approval by our engineer of 11/7/2007 (in the title block, not the revision block). Now if a revision of the drawing is...

    SW 2009 Pre Release

    I tried to use the new SW 2009 Pre Release, but it can't obtain a license for Solidworks Standard. I have a license for Prof only, so I am wondering if that is the case. When I open the SW 2009 SolidNetWork License Admin, It shows that I have 2 Total Licenses, and 1 Free license that is not...

    Drawings Look Fuzzy

    Our company server got changed out and all my personal settings in solidworks got reset to default. I think I got everything back to normal, but my drawings look too fuzzy and distorted. I changed the image settings to max, and the fuzziness is gone, but now everything looks too bold and not...

    Hole Callout Wizard

    Why is it when I bring in a part for a drawing, it brings in the threaded hole text. Example, I have a plate with a a 10-24 tapped hole, and when I drag the drawing in it show the "#10-24 Tapped Hole". How do I turn this feature off?

    Part Number Description

    Is there a standard on how to word a specific item. For example if I have a 30' Cat 5E Cable, how would I go about wording it on the drawing and in the system? Would it be something like, Cable, 30'Cat 5E? I'm just trying to find some consistancy in part names. Any help is appreciated.

    Cannot find part

    I am trying to open an assembly, and its showing one of my parts in a suppressed mode. It says it cannot locate the file. Is there a way I can look for it and show where the file is. I had to move the part and now the assembly cannot find it. How do i tell the assembly to look "here" for it?

    Can't Add Color

    SW 2008 SP3.0 All my colors are out of whack. How can I assign a color to a part? My edit color icon is won't work. Before I could click on a specific area of a part and assign it a color. Why can't I anymore? Why did the 3.0 upgrade change that?

    Toolbars keep moving

    Is there a way to lock the toolbars to keep from moving? My toolbars are not staying where I put them. They keep ending up on the sides of the screen going from top to bottom instead of left to right. Its so annoying. SP 2008 SP2.1

    Where's the BOM

    SW 2008 SP2.1 When I insert a BOM related to a assembly, it will show all the part numbers but only a few random descriptions. Earlier today I imported the same assembly into a drawing and added a bom, and everything looked like it suppost to. Now it will only give me a few random...

    SolidWorks 2008 SP2.1 Color

    Why are all my components in my assemblies so dark? When I insert a part, it changes to a dull color. When look at them dead on they are a clear bright color, but when I do an isometric view, everything looks dull. 2007 was fine, i did not have to make any adjustments, but i'm new to 2008...
