    Rotate about entity mode , but no entity selected....

    Hi When working with assemblies in SW 2011 my curser goes into "rotate about entity mode" whenever it is over the model and the MMB is clicked (with no entity selected). Only when the MMB is clicked and the cursor is not over the model SW lets me free rotate. Might be only an odd setting I...

    Display diameter as linear dimension on PCD

    Hello, I have got an item with a number of PCDs which I would like to dimensions horizontally above the item.

    Rename existing custom propeties

    Hi I have a number of parts that were set up with the custom property PartNo and a number of parts that were set up with the custom property Part Number. If these parts are used in an assembly together the BOM shows only the PartNo (or Part Number depending how I set it up). Is there a way...

    Customize revision table

    I have entered a standard SW revision table (working with 2009) which starts with a row spanning all columns and says "Revisions", above that is a row with the column headings and above that I can enter the revisions. All fine. I would like to customise the table, not to difficult either so far...

    Blue A in icon when inserting standard drawing views.

    Hi! When I enter a model view into a drawing I can chose one or more standard views with the icon under the orientation section. Some of the icons show a small blue A. Which ones and how many icons contain the "A" varies. Does anybody know what it means and what effect it can have. Has it got...
