    Hole Wizard Innacuracies

    CorBlimeyLimey, I just want to make sure if you are not using "Dimension". An advantage of "Hole Wizard" is that "Hole Callout" gives all dimensions. If you use "Dimension", you have to type in, like depth, by yourself. I have the problem too and...

    Properly ending a Macro

    Creigbm, This is from VB help. +++++ Note The End statement stops code execution abruptly, without invoking the Unload, QueryUnload, or Terminate event, or any other Visual Basic code. Code you have placed in the Unload, QueryUnload, and Terminate events of forms and class modules is not...

    It seems the DLL is corrupted often enough, so Microsoft posted an article in Knowledge Base. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305498 Just for your information.

    sw 2003 installation problem

    scott1971ca, I don't have the problem any more, but I am just curios. "Mso9intl.dll" is not in my SolidWorks folder, but in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1033". It's "Microsoft Office 2000 component", file version 9.0.0.2720. I don't have SolidWorks...

    "Choose Image" button is disabled when adding Custom Macro Button

    djamatoit, I have the exact same problem. I tried "Alternative to try before reinstalling" in FAQ, but it didn't fix. Now, this is a walk-around, but try this at your risk because you have to edit registry. 1. Go ahead and assign a macro without selecting BMP while the button for...

    Is this something when you create a new drawing? If so, go to Tool>Options and select "File Locations" under "System Options". Then select "Document Templates" and add "C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\lang\english\Tutorial". This is a default place, but if...

    ATI Video Cards

    Somebody is missing a point!!! I am NOT spending time for FireGL on Radeon at work. I have no interest to PC at work because IT controls fully. The time I spent was for home PC and it's my hobby. Therefore, saving time over money is out of focus. Anyway, the time I spent was about a few hours...

    ATI Video Cards

    Thanks, 1sheetmetalman and Mindnumb. 1028 driver works and I made sure the one issue officially posted as a known problem with 9700Pro was gone with FireGL driver. I run "FINAL FANTASY XI for Windows - Official Benchmark Program 2" with FireGL driver and the result was about same...

    ATI Video Cards

    Mindnumb, I have 9700 Pro at home. I downloaded Rivatuner and installed yesterday, but can you instruct me a bit more how to load FireGL drivers? I don't think I can install FireGL drivers onto my 9700 Pro.

    sw 2003 installation problem

    pabasam, I am sorry to hear that it still doesn't work, but a question for you. Have you ever successfully executed a macro from SW without having the error, "Failed to initialize Visual Basic for Apps, equations and macros will not work"? If not, my suggested way won't help. I got a...

    ATI Video Cards

    There was a discussion on ATI card already. This may be good for your reference. thread559-65444 There is a report on SolidWorks support page including "Real View" support information. http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/VideoCardTesting.html Unfortunately, 9500 to 9800 are...

    sw 2003 installation problem

    I believe the VBA files are fine. Try to run macro with Word or Excel and I bet they work. Only when you run macro from SW, you get the error. Apparently, SW macro needs to have a right privilege to "C:\Documents and Settings\[your login name]\Application Data", but somehow, the...

    sw 2003 installation problem

    I still believe a permission of your user profile causes the problem. Did any of you who have the problem tried what I suggested earlier? Again, an easiest way to make sure is create a new user profile ( a new logon account) and see if the problem is gone. If so, follow my instruction to fix.
