Hi,
I have large no. of 2d drawings created in SolidWorks 2009. I need to insert blocks and make similar changes across several 100s of drawings. Is there any way I can make these changes in one shot or any simpler method rather than opening each drawing and making the changes?
One method I...
Sooperb Handleman.
This was a very good one, more than what I wanted, with the time setting for each config view. Very useful, though I did not think of this when I asked you this.
Excellent, Thank you very much!!!
Thanks Handleman.
Your Macro was exact and works wonderfully.
Is there a macro available which will run thru the configs and we are able to see the model updates as it goes thru the configs.
Hi,
I have a part with 180 configurations.
Is there a macro available which will run thru all the configurations and give a list in case there are errors in any of the configurations?
Thanks,

We can call it a limitation.
If you have controlled dimensions from design table (direct value entry without any excel formulae only) then selcting "Allow model edits to update design table" & not selecting "Warn when updating design table" in design table edit feature is the only solution.
In...
Rockguy,
I feel like doing that many a times!!!
At present I am unable to install SW 2009 plus it is also affecting my SW 2008! I am unable to use pack & go and I don't know what other problems I will come across.
I am also not sure if this is windows xp related or SW related. The error of...
One more information
If the dimension is controlled using a formula in excel then the warning persits irrespective of what options you select
That's last info :)
I forgot to mention one more thing.
Right Click on Design Table -> Edit Feature -> In options remove tick from Warn when updating design table
Else you will get a warning stating changing this dimension will update values in design table
Right Click on Design Table -> Edit Feature -> In Edit Controls select Allow model edits to update design table.
This will solve the problem but even by mistake if you change a dimension the same will get updated in the design table.
This is not new to SW 2008. The same case prevails from...
Hi,
I tried to install SolidWorks 2009 Beta 1 but the same would not work on my system. I asked my reseller and he told that it will not work on a system already having any version of SolidWorks. I tried uninstalling the same but I am unable to do so. It gives an error:
"Error 1722. There is a...
I have a drawing in PDF format which I want bring into SolidWorks 2008 Drawing.
I tried several methods:
1. Take snap shot of the drawing from PDF and paste it into SolidWorks Drawing sheet
2. Create JPEG/Bitmap/PNG etc and insert picture in SolidWorks sheet
3. Print the PDF file as Tif image...
I have some cadkey files (.PRT & .CKD). I am able to open the PRT files but I am unable to open CKD files. On opening the PRT files I can see that these are 2D drawings. I strongly believe these are created from 3D models from the look of it. I did some research on how to open the 3D and found a...
I tried this but it is not working. I tried opening ".PRT" files but all I get is some 2D and/or 3D sketches. Sometimes the imported part is void.
Any suggestions on this is highly appreciated.
Hi,
We are planning to migrate CADKEY data to SolidWorks. I have one license of CADKEY and the team doing the migration don't have CADKEY.
The CADKEY with me has a DXF export with manual and batch options. Exporting to DXF either manually or batch is not useful as there is lot of data loss.
Can...
The configurations might be the issue here. I have 50 configurations in the assembly!!! I am surprised this should be an issue between the service packs!
Assembly file is not corrupt as it is opening in SP2.2 and not opening in SP4.0
Will test by deleting a few configs & give it a try again or...
Hi,
I have created several parts & an assembly in SW2007 SP2.2
I sent it across to one of my colleagues who has SW2007 SP4
All the parts are opening good, but when he tries to open the assembly it gives an error message "Unknown file format".
Can anybody tell me what the problem might be &...
Thanks CBL. I am using SP2.2 at present & that might be the problem. It's time I update my SP :)
I agree the stretching looks a bit substantial... but is doable & I have got a sample from my shop. I may have to reduce the length of the hem a little in the model.
The image shows a sheet metal part with a hem feature.
In SW the hem feature will not work for this case as it accepts only linear edges. I was successful in using a edge flange feature with a very small bend radius (1/8th of the sheet thickness) & a very large angle (179degrees).
I have...
Yes but the design table (Excel) entries are not getting recorded...
I have not used vba editor extensively but would like to create a form in this case to pass in the values.
I have a table of values and the values are interdependent. The idea here is, I don't want the users to open the...
I have a created a SW part with the part dimensions controlled thru a design table.
I need a macro that would pop up a form and allow the users to select values and pass it to the design table & update the model.
Does anyone have some similar macro and can share this with me?
Regards,
RK
