I have always (SW 2004 - 2008) run into this issue. Pain in the rear. You need to adjust the crop or detail circle to get the selections made. After dimensions are applied you can reverse the view adjustment. If anyone knows a cure I would be most appreciative. kd1959 SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0...

Wow, you got a deal. I just ran these spec.s on the Dell site and a system like the one you describe comes close to 3K. Where are you buying from? kd1959 SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0, PDMWorks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3500

Thanks Handleman, this is what we thought and which leads to my point. Since SW does not know which angle I am asking for should an arrow for direction or both possible angles be listed? An "Other Solutions" dialogue is available for plane construction that could be an option here. I was...

Yes, I have picked up on that relationship. The problem is the holes are either 96° or 264° apart not 84°. kd1959 SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0, PDMWorks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3500

I have a cylinder with two side ports which are 96° apart. The ports were made from separate planes built "on surface" of the cylinder and driven to their respective angles by one sketch (Which is in turn Design Table configured). When I use the measure tool on the axis of the ports it says the...

I want to customize the little pop up menu that appears after you have selected a part or surface. Any ideas for that one? kd1959 SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0, PDMWorks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3500

3.0 is fine. Feel free to take the upgrade plunge. kd1959 SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0, PDMWorks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3500

Cor, Do you have the PhotoWorks Add-in? kd1959 SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0, PDMWorks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3500

I upgraded to 3.0 and now all of my models have lost their Pizzazz. Everything is grey and must be opened in part mode and updated. And if I have the Photoworks add-in turned on, the access to the Edit Color and Edit Texture is locked out. My question is whether or not this has happened to...

Another thought - You could add a very small extrude to the model and then sketch could be manipulated in a drawing as stated by these other fine gentlemen. kd1959 Solidworks 2008 SP2, PDMworks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3500

Print the sketch while in the model. It will not have a fancy title block but you can make a paper copy of what is on the screen. kd1959 Solidworks 2008 SP2, PDMworks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3500

Try opening the part and use "Edit Color". You can adjust the level of transparency there until the component looks like a wireframe view in the drawing. kd1959 Solidworks 2007 SP3.1, PDMworks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic Quadro FX 3400

Finally, a question I can answer! TihomirJ, I believe your issue is that you are making the modifications at "the assembly level". Solidworks is interpreting this as something you want to do after you have assembled it. To modify a part in an assembly and have it show at the part level you...

Rip, Check out Josh Mings Solid Smack. He has an interesting site on all things Solidworks. He recently wrote about high quality printing. You may find what you need. http://www.solidsmack.com/how-to-get-print-quality-graphics-from-solidworks/2007-09-20/ - Kris kd1959 Solidworks 2007 SP3.1...

I must send files to a sister company everyday that uses Inventor. I use the STEP file format, but they must be the 203 version and not the 214 version. They cannot open the 214. The IGES format usually does not translate as well but can be used for simple parts. As I am not on the receiving...

Razz, I purchased from XI. (The Bad)The mother board fried in the first week. (The Good)The service was easily contacted, the problem diagnosed, and a replacement was sent overnight. 2 years now and no additional issues. More on computer quality - My last three computers all failed and...

I just saw a report on John McEleney being replaced as CEO of Solidworks. This comes on the tails of Dassault decreeing that the Solidworks reseller channel would become the Dassault Systemes Volume Channel. Hmmm... Any connection here? They want to use the Solidworks name to leverage sales of...

You did say "any way", so here is a way. Save assembly as a part. Scale is now available! Depending on our need this may not provide you with a viable solution as the parts are now "Dumb solids". kd1959 Solidworks 2007 SP3.1, PDMworks 4GB Ram,3GB switch 2x AMD Opteron 254,2x 19" Viewsonic...

I would be sure to look at the graphic cards that are approved for SW 2008. It looks like quite a few that were approved for earlier SW versions well not be approved for 2008. I also use AMD and can't speak for how Intel's chips do. I did not see a clear winner in the recent Benchmark thread...
