Sorry, I don't want to beat you down about the ACAD surprise that you've apparently encountered but this NEVER came up prior to your being offered this position? If so, it is a pretty glaring oversight.
On the other hand, I'm going to pat your back and say that I might have made the same...
Nothing against Windows 7 but unless you're sure that you'll be upgrading to SW2010 there's no guarantee that you'll be able to run SW2001+ on that OS. I'm not sure about Vista either. What OS are/were you running on? Hate to see you spend money and not be able to run your version of...
BT,
The short answer is, "you can't". According to the SW training material, if you have BOTH SW and SW Explorer loaded on a system then you have the ability to check out SW files. We do not have the ability, however, to check in SW files from SW Explorer.

Steve,
Try this:
Dim swApp as SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModeal as SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swCusPropMgr as SldWorks.CustomPropertyManager
Dim AddStatus as Long
Dim Value as String
Dim ResValue as String
'add/create custom property
AddStatus = swCusPropMgr.Add2("Description", swCustomInfoText...
How about using the Fit Spline command? This is pretty close to PEDIT in ACAD. I just tried it in a drawing and so I know it's available in that mode.

Joe,
Not to split hairs but when SP1 came out there was an issue retrieving files from an SP0 vault which required that the client and server both be at the same SP level. It's still an issue if you have a vault running at SP0. I just had to help someone with that problem yesterday. To...
In general, I tend to caution people on the use of in-conext (or as some people call it "top-down") design for the reasons already stated above. Additionally, I prefer "bottom-up" design because that is how things get manufactured. Having said that, I do admit that "top-down" technique does...
SuperMPG,
I don't have a good answer to your question other than to suggest that you may want to speak to someone about data migration as part of your implementation. They may be able to pull this off.

Hi Dan,
Yes, Enterprise has a view that can do what you're asking. That's one of the advantages it has over Workgroup.

I agree w/ EEnd. This is definitely a registry permissions thing. At the very least, you need access to HKCU\Software\SolidWorks.

swforge,
Sorry, I haven't seen that "misalignment" behavior before.
As far as the model document path issue is concerned, my thinking is if they read differently then that is a problem. Are you seeing a mapped location for the model reference versus a UNC path for the Toolbox drag and drop...
swforge,
The message that's being thrown by SW is telling you that the Toolbox part file has already been opened from a different location than the Toolbox folder that you're trying to drag and drop from. (I.e. when you open the assembly it's grabbing the reference to your screw from Folder...
Are there any instructions for doing a clean uninstall of Inventor 9? I.e. after uninstalling via Add/Remove Programs which registry entries and directories can/should be deleted? Thanks!

StuCAD66,
Sometimes it takes a lot of fussing to get that type of feature to work (a common complaint in my experience). For what it is worth, in the past I have just gone ahead and modelled the beads from scratch and then mated them into my assembly.

I'm going to assume that you're talking about PDMWorks Workgroup. This isn't used to create files in SolidWorks but rather manages them. Data in PDMWorks is largely a reflection of the SolidWorks file so a "card" really won't get you far in my opinion.
Speaking in general this might be...
Hi Folks,
I'm hoping that someone can hook me up with some VBA code or tips for connecting to a Filemaker Pro database and pulling a recordset from it. I only need to read the contents of the recordset and pass that info elsewhere. My preference is to stay with VBA but I suppose that I can go...
Hi All,
I'm just wondering if anyone has a macro handy for exporting ACIS/STL that you wouldn't mind sharing. I'm mucking around the help file and it seems like on one hand I ought to be able to pull this off but then I try to tie everything together there are missing pieces. Seems as though...
