The indented BOM's work nearly perfect for the way our company runs except....
1. We do not need the line for the assembly.
2. The quantity should show the full qty of the parts needed.
The only way I see an indented BOM to display is with an assembly quantity and the parts laid out for a...
Ok, I had this working great yesterday....but cannot for the life of me get it to work today!!
I created a 'dummy' sketch in an assembly to help drive part sizes. It's just two lines, with dimensions.
D1@Sketch1 and D2@Sketch1
I added these to columns in my design table. Then entered in...
What does this mean.
My model will not update because of this.
I have an equation. F=1
In my design table I have a column header that says "$VALUE@F@equations".
Shouldn't this change my F=1 to whatever I put in the column for that configuration?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
I have a custom property set up for each of my parts to show Material, and another to show which machine the part gets cut on.
Obviously different configurations could have a different material and/or machine.
More times than not, when I insert a BOM to my assembly, it displays incorrect info...
This question has two levels. We have a common wood part that is 4" x X", two of these parts go on each assembly. When we cut the parts out, it is cut as one 8.125" x X" part. It has an edges applied to it, then cut in half, creating two 4" x X" parts. The edges cannot be applied to a part...
I have an assembly with about 25 parts. I made a mirror of the assembly as a configuration. Now NONE of the equations work, so I cannot resize it using a global variable. I had it so that you can enter a length, width, height...and it would adjust all the parts accordingly. Now all the...
I'm trying to create a section of an assembly. I've tried using the section view in the drawing, I've also tried to save an anotation view using the section in the model.
Both, when inserted in to the drawing, have many missing components. Some parts and some full assemblies are not shown...
I'm creating a drawing, and I noticed that the hardware with smart features are not showing up in my drawings.
I have a cabinet with a drawer and the drawer guides are not showing up. I can click on where they should be, and they will highlight, but will not show up....even if I hide all the...
I have an equation driven assembly.
Part A = Total height - Part B sketch (config1)
Real Equation--->"D2@Sketch1@PartA.Part" = "D1@Height"-"D1@Sketch13@PartB.Part"
This works out great. But when I change the config of Part B (config2, a different size), it still uses the size from config1 for...
I'm really having problems trying to hide lines in drawings.
I have an assembly with 3 layers of 3/4" material stacked on top of each other. In the drawing, I want to show it as 1 2.25" thick slab.
I want to hide the lines that make up the layers. I can't seem to do this. Right clicking on...
Is there an easy way to include the overall size of a part (LxWxH) in the BOM? I'd also like to include the material.
Currently I have an assembly with 78 parts (I'd rather not have to set up custom properties for every dimension for every part in my model). When I insert the BOM, the part...
I'm using SWX Standard 2011 x64.
How do I batch a group of drawings to print? Also, I'd like to batch a group of drawings to PDF combined in to a single file, in a single process if possible.
Thanks in advance!
How do I make a drawing elevation of a room?
Of course SWX Drawings wants to do exterior elevations of the walls. I want interior elevations, which I can do with section views.
1. Is there a way just to get an elevation without having to create a section?
2. If I must use the section method...
So I created a wood cabinet, with 3 major variables, Width, Height, and Depth. These are controlled by 'width mates'.
I used the Configuration Publisher to create a configurable cabinet. Using equations to drive the sizes for the individual parts.
When I insert the cabinet assembly, I'm...
I hope I can explain this one well....
I created a block, when inserted it should display the view name and the current page. When I edit the block it looks fine. When I insert the block the text size changes, and only a number 1 shows up. If I change the name of the view, the number 1...
I'm trying to set up a BOM so that it show's the overall size of each part....a sort of cutlist.
I can get this to work beautifully in a single part, but can't get it to work in an assembly.
When I insert the equation in to the BOM in the assembly, the 'size' variable is available, but only...
Many of our drawings are multiple pages. (11x17) It's nice to have view callouts to reference the views of the drawings. If you're on the phone with a client, you can ask them to look at view number 4 on page 3.
I've created some blocks, and it automatically fills in the scale, view name...
What is the best way to setup SWX so I can reuse models , resize them, change materials, while keeping the original model intact?
I'm building a library of 'standard' cabinets. These will be the cabinets we use to build models of rooms. Each room will belong to a 'job', each job will belong...
