    Item numbers on Assembly Drawings

    pdybeck, I think yes you are doubling your work. With no bill of mat'l on the face of the drawing, you are referencing a reference in your erp (item 79). You already have the data for the part number loaded into your erp somehow, so you could just use that. I have also seen a practice here...

    I am working on an assembly and drawing. I have saved the files and checked them in and have noticed that each time I open the files, the suppression state of one particular Toolbox part (Pan Cross head_ai)reverts to unresolved in every instance. I need ideas! what could be happening? Is there...

    odd toolbox behavior

    ANOTHER STAR FOR RGRAY... Removing the double toolbox problem fixed it. I tested this today and low and behold, no more "panheadcross is already opened. Do you want to view..." AND: as a bonus, the toolbox works properly now...no more jumping to extents and ending the screw drop function...

    odd toolbox behavior

    Alex, You are so right. re-booted, started a new session of SW and started a new assembly. Plopped the same piece of hdwr in that I was having trouble with and !viola! It works properly that way. What would be the culprit if you had to guess? The double install? thanks again, Jim ¿)...

    odd toolbox behavior

    thanks for the replies. I will check on the items that you listed. I have seen another location on root, but didn't think it would matter since there is no db there. And sw is not pointing to it. I got a systems admin that is really good, so he can help me sort this out the rest of the way...

    odd toolbox behavior

    Does anyone else ever get this kind of behavior from ToolBox? I grab a 8-32phms from the TB and it reports "pan head Cross_ai is already opened. Do you want to show the open file"? I select yes, then drop the toolbox part on its default ref mate and check the green check confirming the...

    articulating swivel for handheld package

    oh! Then, depending on your Nema spec., I think we used a phone type jack and phone chord in a device. The chord passed along the outside though. Good idea of utilizing the mech swivel as a trough though. dsgnr1

    Workaround to problem described in thread559-184576

    We were seeing a similar issue with configured bom as in thread559-184576. Intermittent bom numbering scheme problems with item numbers starting at 2 or 3 or 4. This is a very isolated problem it seems as there is little information on several fora. The workaround: In table properties...

    Is SW on the right track?

    I would agree to a slow down, but think that updating (or catching bug fixes) as an option would wreak havok on the file translation aspect. My scenario goes like this: A vendor and I have the same release, however, he has a couple fixes in his that allow some feature that my machine can't...
