Up until now we have been saving a drawing as FILEXYZRevA.slddrw, then the next revisions being FILEXYZRevB.slddrw etc. The revision usually has been a specification rather than a change in the part.
However this falls down if we revise the part because the part revision will update on Rev A...
I noticed that when I moved from 2008 to 2010 that all my parts open up with the Origin showing. Is there a setting to default to Origin hidden?

$PRP:"SW-ShortDate" is what I used on my template to get the date but I notice that this updates to today's date when I resave the drawing if I need to make a change/ECO?
Is there another $PRP code I should be using?

I finally decided to go to SW2008 SP4.0 and am seeing the same issue. It's most frustrating. Any help on this one because it didn't seem to be solved on the previous thread?

I am mounting a flange onto a body and am having some issues. I can set the distance from the flange to the end of the unit (0.062") but I can't get it concentric with the angled end. I have made a SLPRT from the current ASSY so people know what I am talking about. What mates should I be...
On a drawing, I have some writing in color and the printer is printing it in B/W. What's weird is that all the settings are in color and also the logo of the company is color and that prints just fine. Is there somewhere I should be looking to see a setting for printing font color?

I have a need for a timer that can do the following,
We burn in components and sometimes need to pulse the burn in. The typical voltage is 12V and I can intercept the wiring between the power supply and the burn in board.
I'd like the ability to be able to pulse for a short period of time <1...
In the attached drawing I have set the dimension to .XX yet it shows up as X.
I have gone to Tools>Options>Units and it's correctly set but I can't see what I am doing (so simply) wrong here.
I have a rectangle block where I am putting in six holes. I used the linear pattern to add the six holes. Now I want to make a three hole version exactly half the size. Is it possible to specify the configuration on which patterned holes to suppress? I am using SW2008.
I have a drawing stating a callout for plating finish followed by another number in parentheses after that. Can someone explain this to me. It's a drawing in mm.
