    configuration mates always changing suppress state

    Hi all I have an assembly, with 16 configurations. When I change mates in one configuration, there are mates that are being suppressed in other configurations, without apparent reason or warnings. So, when I return to a configuration already finished, a lot of components are at the wrong...

    editing dimensions

    Hi guys, long time no see... I am back with a question about editing parts dimensions (I suppose it's already been discussed, but didn't found the threads). In 2008, I think by default, when selecting a dimension there's a small box that allows to change it. But if I have configurations, there´s...

    PN vs. PS?

    I all I am used to see the nominal pressure of an hydraulic valve to be identified with PN letters. So a PN10 valve would be a valve with a nominal pressure of 10bar. Am I right? Now, for a certain project, a supplier offered, for a PN10 specification, a PS2,5 dismantling joint. Is he talking...

    SW2008 SP1.0 to 1.1

    Hi all If I remember well, Solidworks used to make available for download only those files that needed to be updated from a SPx.0 to a SPx.1 or SPx.2.... I was suprised to see that all files, including COSMOS, are available for download if I update from SW2008 SP1.0 to 1.1. Does that means...

    Hi all I am designing some components for wich I am considering using the structural steel S235JR EN10025. These components will be made from 4mm bended sheet (bend radius 4mm). Can I use this material without problems or should I predict problems in the bending process (like craks)? Regards

    Toolbox database version error

    Hi all Just found that one of the reasons that causes the error "database file is not the expected version" is the access previleges to the c:\programs\sheared files folder. If you have full read/write access (administration access)it's OK (it will be the case of the majority of SW users). But...

    Configuration management

    Hi all! During design, it is common to create parts/assemblies with several configurations in order to easely make "what if" scenarios and find the best solution. The problem is that, in the end of the design, when preparing documents for production, there's the need to clean all extra data in...

    Printing problems?

    I've been using SW2005 (SP1.1) for sometime without any significant problems (just a litle less stable then SW2004). But today I was surprised with a problem: I click the print command (in an assembly) and nothing happens! Not even the window for choosing the printer and printing options is...
