burkett1, That idea did the trick. Thanks to everyone who replied and hopefully this info was useful to more than just me. Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I am using cement blocks in an assembly and corresponding assy drawing to show how a product is installed to the block wall. The problem is with the automatically generated weight in the title block. SW is including the cement blocks. Is there a way to have the weight calculation exclude...

We do not have the enterprise version. I guess until we get that version a strong "Do Not Use That Feature" will have to do. Thanks very much for the info. Drake M. www.taylordyno.com When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

How can that option be disabled? I was told that was not possible. Thanks, Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Thanks Ed, I will give that a try. Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

DBWorks is a VERY powerful tool. The automation it provides, saves us huge amounts of time from a paperwork perspective. The paperwork we used to have to do for a project used to be about 2/3 of the project time overall. Now we can automatically generate BOMs, reports, changes, updates...

Actually, I did find a quick way to update the path. When opening up DBWorks you have the option of opening for Browsing, or opening for Updating. I used the Updating option. Then, I did a search for the drawing and it listed it with the old path. As long as you use the Updating option you...

I used windows, cut & paste into the new location. Should I have used a different method? When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I have moved a SW drawing from one directory to another. Now when I try to open the drawing, the preview window in DBWorks states that the file does not exist. This is correct, it no longer exists (in that location). How do I edit the path to the new location? I thought this would be a...

ctopher, Is there a reason to use a 3DSketch rather than a 2D? Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

To make my question as simple as possible, assume I have a sketched line 24" long. Now, I have a steel rod extruded along that line that I would like to automatically update based on the length of this line. Example, I make the line 30" long and the steel rod is now 30" as well. It seems like...

Thanks for the replies. Personal preference is what I thought and I just wanted to see if the group had a different opinion. Drake When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I noticed that the flat washers in toolbox (SW2006) are created using the revolve command. Whenever I have created them I have always extruded my sketch of 2 circles. Is there a benefit to using the revolve over the extrude in this example? The 2 circle sketch and extrude seems like it would...

OK, what I need to do is link specific drawing detail views into a Word document. I am making an instruction manual and I need to give them detail views for assembly. How can this be done while maintaining a link so that if the model changes, the drawing view in the Word document updates as...

Yahoo, I found a way to do it. If you click the option "High Quality" in the detail view properties, the exploded line sketch is added. I guess I should have looked more before posting the question. Unfortunately, I have someone coming over here about every 5 minutes asking if the job is done...

I have an assembly with the exploded line sketchs that work just fine. I have even brought that view with the line sketches into my drawing, that works fine as well. Here is the problem, when I make a detail view of a section that has the exploded line sketch, the line sketch does not show up...

That did the trick. Thanks very much Gildashard! When it comes to protecting yourself or your family it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I have a cement block that I patterned into a wall. Can I have the pattern shown as transparent? When I right click on the pattern I do not have that option listed. The block that I used to make the pattern does have the option. Thanks in advance When it comes to protecting yourself or your...

Thanks for the suggestion but I did try that. It checks the sketch and reports that there is 1 closed contour and no errors. However, there was still 2 identical sketches overlapping each other. I went through and clicked each entity and hit the delete button for each one until I went through...

Is there a way to check for duplicate sketch entities? I have a sketch that for some reason has 2 sets of identical lines on top of each other. I can go through and highlight each line and hit the delete button and there is another identical sketch there. I thought there was something said in...
