Hi all,
I have a sheet metal part that is doing something a bit strange.
The part is a symmetrical thin feature, it is 2mm thick and has an inside bend radius of 2mm. However one of the bends on one side is generating at zero radius inside.
If I try changing the thin feature to the other side...
Hi
We’ve been having a bit of an issue running macros. The problem dates back to the 1st computer we had running a 64bit OS, which is a long time ago in a Windows and SolidWorks version far far away.
When it first started, it would happen at some point during the day, normally after having...
Hello
We’ve been having some problems with our PDM here today. We are running Workgroup PDM with SolidWorks 2011.
This morning a couple of times SolidWorks would seem to hang for a few seconds when trying to do anything with the vault, then late morning one by one peoples machines completely...
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum for this question
I am writing a macro to save a SolidWorks drawing as a PDF and add some information to the filename at the same time.
I also would like it to save the file in a specific folder on the system dependant on the start of the filename.
I have the...
Hi,
Not normally a problem, but I can’t seem to release my networked SolidWorks license. I have tried closing SolidWorks, turning off my machine, unplugging my network cable, opening and closing SolidWorks and going into the SolidWorks network license manager.
I need to book a license out this...
just a quickie
does anynone have this process running? it is using 25% of my (quad core) processor all the time.
it returns zero hits on a google search, which i thought was quite impressive
Hello.
Lots of questions on here from me lately as we've upgraded SW and OS.
Hole Wizard is causing a crash every time it is used since we upgraded to 2011.
I suspect it is because we keep all our common toolbox and hole wizard files on a server and the installations of 2011 were done on each...
Sorry for the vague title, I don't even know what to search for for this issue.
One of our guys has got an issue with a large assembly. When the view is rotated, parts are jiggling about, like an earthquake. It's a difficult thing to describe, sorry. Parts are shaking against each other as the...
I was wondering if anyone out there is outputting any data from solidworks to an MRP system, either directly, or with some sort of interim step through Excel or some other program.
My aim is to be able to output a BOM, if I were about to try this, does anyone have any advice?
Hello,
I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid like not ticking a bnox or something, but...
I'm trying to save out a detail view as a block, I've exported the sheet as a DWG and re-imported it so that it is lines rather than a view of the model.
I can save the view as a block, but not with the...
Hello all
Is it possible to float fixed licenses as a user? In the past we've had fixed licenses that we've turned to 'floaters' once the subscription ran out. Our VAR came in and did it for us.
Would it be possible for me to float our fixed licenses? (we currently have some fixed and some...
Hello.
We work with some fairly large assemblies, that for the most part don't need to be hugely complicated, however, the sub assemblies need to be fairly complicated for drawings and detailing.
I've added a yes/no custom property to our part template called "suppress on simplify".
I'm...
Hello,
One of our users has just tried to find an old SolidWorks document and can't find it in the vault. On closer inspection it seems as though most of the data in a large old project of ours has disappeared. Looking at the actual vault data on the server it seems as though the data is there...
Hello.
I found a thread with a link to a materials database file:

but the link to the file appears to be broken. Does anyone have this file?
Thanks
Hello all,
Is there any way of changing the display style of a sub-assembly within a drawing? In a similar way to the "component line font" command, can you change one part or sub-assembly to be shaded with edges and leave the rest of the drawing view HLR?
Thanks
Running 2009SP2.0
A simple request I think. Is it possible to select the active document in the vault tree? Sometimes it seems to automatically do this, other times not. It would be especially useful when working on drawings, as there does not seem to be a "reload" or "get write access" command...
Hello all,
We've been having an issue recently with drawings, especially when printing. I realise there has been some discussion about this before, but I haven't found an answer to this particular problem.
Prints are coming out "low resolution", the print preview also has the problem. Normally...
Hello All,
I realise jefrado has asked this question before, but I wondered if anyone had come up with a solution in the mean time. If we try to create a cut list from a weldment, the end caps appear on the list with a blank entry. It is possible to enter a description manually in the model, but...
A bit of a strange one I can't figure out
A couple of guys here are getting messages on their stations that SolidWorks does not have enough resources to complete the required task (it's a message telling you to close other applications to free up resources, I can't remember the exact wording)...
Hello all,
I was wondering if there was a way of adding a new entirely empty toolbar? I suppose I could add one we don't use and empty it, but it would be nice to add a nice blank one with our own title. We're running 2009sp2.0 if it makes a difference.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
