First of all, I subscribe to many SW Youtube channels and learn quite a bit, but every once in awhile I am thrown a project at work that requires more education/techniques which I haven't learned or mastered. That said, are their tutors out there that could guide me with my dilemma? Obviously...
Is it possible to link the P/N to a Standard note?

I have this panel in which I'm going to place a 3-hole-pattern (.250 center hole with 2x .102 on both sides) in various locations. Is there a way to group these three features (one cut, and 2 revolved cuts) so I can copy them to various places on the panel? Since I have created Datum Points for...
When creating a New Drawing, can one automatically have SW (2004) display/show the dimensions (used to create the part) on the drawing without having to use "Insert Model Items"?

I created a wire in SW 2004 using 3D-Sketch. How can you modify the shape of the wire by dragging the Spline Control Points? I seen a quick video on this but they didn't go into detail. I just don't see these points???

Can anyone recommend a good Machinery's Handbook that can help explain to the reader the basics, instead of going in and assuming the person reading has an engineering degree?
I have the Machinery's Handbook 25, but I'm looking for something more simplistic (if one exists). The book is a lot of...

I'm looking for ways of streamlining our Inspection Reports. Right now all Q.A. does is take all the data from the drawing (dim's, notes..etc.) and re-enters all this information onto a Word document (basically a dummy form). Can anyone recommend any software for this process or have an Excel...
Is there an OPTION in SW 2004 to automatically resize planes/axis in NEW parts and assemblies? I would rather this be done for me everytime I create a part.
Thanks!

Since we are converting over to SW from ProE I’m thinking of keeping some mapkey or keyboard shortcuts that I’ve used with ProE for years. Such as Repaint, Refit Screen, Default Isometric View using the keyboards numbers and function keys. Is this doable? Any of you who’ve converted over from...
Can you tweak the text on a section view (Section A-A) where the text "Section" can be of one size and the "A-A" be of another? I am referring to one line of text, not two.
.15 HEIGHT-----> SECTION A-A <----.20 HEIGHT

Can one create a Macro that would extract data (dimensions, tolerances, maybe even notes) from a drawing and place it in an Excel Spreadsheet? Does anyone have anything like this that they would be willing to share?
