That isn't it. Scale is set to 1:1. I changed it to 1:2 and still got the same results. I'm not sure what made this happen, because I used to do it regularly with no problem. I just haven't done it for a year or two, now all of a sudden it does this.
OK, I think this file link will work.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0872ec31-2449-4196-bbb8-e3707faca55b&file=Jumbled_SW_BOM_Display.bmp
I didn't used to have this problem,but lately when I try to show a BOM in an assembly document (not a drawing, but the assy document itself), the BOM display is totally screwed up and unreadable. Does anyone else have this problem, and if you do, were you able to fix it? See attached file for...
Quadro FX 1700 with the latest driver installed. I worked at getting the right graphics driver, and all other graphics are fine. It's just adobe/SW that's a problem.
I have Adobe Acrobat X (v 10) on my system, and every time I use it, the background graphics in SW turn into a funky psychedelic quilt. It also puts a raster-type quilt all over PDF files that are open. it doesn't seem to affect performance, except that it makes SW more prone to crash, and it's...
That pretty much kills that issue. Next question: How far back does SW go in using Excel versions before it just doesn't work anymore, or does SW use MS's 'upgraded' features in newer versions of Excel, thus forcing us to 'upgrade' (if you can call it that) to a later version of Excel?
Is anyone familiar enough with the SW API to know how SW invokes Excel, and is it possible to replace the call with the Open Office executable or even possibly rename the executable to excel.exe? A registry tweak, perhaps?
I use design tables a lot. At work it's no problem because they have Excel installed. I use Open Office at home which works beautifully for everything except those things that require Microsoft applications. I don't want to buy Excel just so I can do design tables. Is there a way to tell SW...
I'm trying to render a model that I've added surface features to, like text cut into the surface to .003 inch deep or so. I was successful in rendering the text a year or so ago, but I can't remember how I did it. Photoworks ignores the text and renders the surface as one solid color, which is...
So it sounds like you're mating the slides to the cabinet first, changing one slide to the 'no limits' version, tying them to each other so they move together, making sure that works, then mating the drawer to only ONE of the slides, and everything works. I'll try that. It shouldn't be this...
I did exactly that and SW still tells me the assembly is overconstrained as soon as I attach the second configuration (with the suppressed limit mates) to the cabinet. I'll keep trying and report back if I figure out something that works. Right now I have more important things to deal with.
I feel bad about bashing PTC. Proe is a good program and I'll use it if a customer wants it, but it does take a long, long, looooooooooong time before they fix the simplest, stupidest little problems, if they ever get around to it.
That's exactly what I mean. I mention it and the next thing I know, it's in the program. SW listens. If it were PTC, it would be 15 years and it still wouldn't be there.
This seems to be an issue with SW. I'll have to play with the mates to get what I want, and maybe I will, maybe I won't. I'll just figure out how to deal with it. I'd like to slap the crap out of the mate-flipping gremlin in SW, though, because that annoys the hell out of me. If I want a...
I'm using SW2008 SP0. Making the parts different configurations still gets me the same results. SW says "the two parts are already fully defined" after I apply the mate. That's a bit of a lie, because I was able to pull the undefined drawer slide out of position, apply the mate, and it slid...
I have a drawer slide which has 3 sliding sections with limit mates. It works beautifully in its own window. I assemble 2 drawer slides to one drawer as a subassembly. The slides each work beautifully in this assembly as well. I assemble the drawer (with the slides attached) into a cabinet...
