    VPN to connect to a PDMWorks Vault?

    Ever since we (José) updated to SolidWorks 2006 we are experiencing a very slow connection to the vault… depending on the size of your project it could take from 10 seconds to 7 minutes to display the directory listing and this happens every time you open or save a file. My only work around was...

    Weird BALLOONS ?

    jacek0841 There’s is a pick located on the components properties in the model assembly that allows you to exclude a component / assembly from the BOM. I have seen this happen if I made the change after I created the drawing. I use it to exclude customer’s parts and layouts etc. [pipe] have...

    To use Hyper thread or Not?

    I just started a new job with a brand new Dell Precision Work Station. I'm not sure about all the specs other than it is running 2gigs ram and has a good NVIDIA FX video card. My question is: should I turn off the hyper threading? I was told that with it on SolidWorks will only use half the...

    Hole Wizard tapped hole on a curved surface

    I like to make a spot face on curved surfaces. Some machinists have asked me to do this because it helps with drill walk & gives them a surface to set the depth of the tap. have fun make money Paul

    LapTop vs DeskTop

    I have been running SW on my M60 for 2+ years. The only mistake I made was ordering only 1mg ram. I ordered the second within a month. Also go for the 7200 rpm hard drive, this will decrease your access time when loading files. have fun make money Paul

    SolidWorks 2005 & Bom's

    I do some of my quoting using the excel bill. I export the bill, then add columns for each vendor, their cost, and delivery. I'm not sure I could do this with the SW BOM. Everyone have a great and safe holiday and new year. have fun make money Paul

    ATI's verses Nvidia graphics card in a lap top?

    I see that HP is offering a ATI's MOBILITY(tm) FireGL(tm) T2 graphics in a Compaq nw8000 Mobile Workstation to run SolidWorks. I'm running a Dell M60 with a NVidia Quadro FX with SolidWorks. When I made my decision there was no competition to Dell. Does any one have any history with the Compaq...

    Rotating a BOM or Fromat?

    1a) I could maybe spit it and have the second part on sheet two. And I did reduce the font & manualy compress each cell to put the fire out. But if I add one more item I have to ship a magnifing glass with the drawing. 2a) I did try this and found that I will need to redue all the text, Yuck...

    Rotating a BOM or Fromat?

    Has any one ever rotated an Excel BOM 90 degrees to fit more items? I coulden't find a way of doing it, so I tryied to creat a new format rotated and found that the text would not rotate with it. I tried to use modify sketch. My customer insists on an 11"x17" (B) format. Thanks have fun make...

    Looking for feedback from Autodesk users.

    To all: My biggest problem with Auto CAD, and it's users, is scale. Hope I don't offend any one. I have one customer that insists on drawing every thing in full scale whether it's a full 60 ft long machine or a single .25 in cube. He is just adjusts the format border, text, line scale etc. and...

    I just ordered and installed my second GB of ram. I hit a wall, not on the model side, but making drawings and exporting them as E and DWG's. Like the guys in Monty Python say “Don’t skimp on the pâté" Also Happy new year to all [cheers] have fun make money Paul
