    mirror hole wizrd features

    This is something that our company noticed quite a while ago. I may be wrong but I do believe it was classified as a limitation and I'm almost certain it was submitted as an ER, however I have yet to see it work. Possible suggestion would be to either pattern the hole feature or as handleman...

    Could it possibly be an interference type fit?

    CSWP Test very off base in my opinion

    For what it's worth, I took the CSWP test in New Orleans a couple weeks ago and unfortunately, I didn't pass either. I actually just missed it by a few points and I was very bummed. [sadeyes] But from my experience, I have been involved with SolidWorks for about 4 years and my main duty where I...

    DBWorks Conversion Wizard Help!

    Just for clarification, we figured out that the "SWSave" error is due to a few documents being checked out, but now we are getting a "SWOpen" error.

    DBWorks Conversion Wizard Help!

    We are currently trying to convert a project through DBWorks using the Conversion Wizard and we keep getting an "error in command : SWSAVE". It sometimes will crash Solidworks at this point and other times we can click ok and it will continue to run. Has anyone seen this or had any luck using...

    Removing projected view parent relationship

    You can right click on the view and select Alignment, Break Alignment. If you wish to re-align the views you can right click on the view again and choose Alignment, Align Vertical/Horizontal by Center/Origin, then select the view from which to align with. However, I do not know of a way to align...

    Show/Hide failure....

    I have only seen this once before and I'm not sure as to what exactly I did that fixed it but I opened the part that was causing problems and re-saved it, closed the part, then opened the assembly again. It seemed to reload itself and then I was able to hide it. Maybe try setting it to...

    Assembly not accessible - part rolled back

    The only thing that I have tried is grabbing the rollback bar and dragging it to the top of the tree and back down again (if the assembly allows you to do this.) Also, try doing this in one of the part models as well. I read this suggestion somewhere else before and it has worked a few times for me.

    SW2006 Flexible Assemblies is a bald face lie! (workaround?)

    We're noticing a problem when we open an assembly that has multiple instances of the same flexible sub-assembly, we get an error that says "Can not open file, too many open files." It's real strange because it's inconsistant and we can not seem to replicate the problem. Our VAR is looking into...

    Edrawings measuring precision

    That was my first thought, however, if I open the .sldprt in solidworks, the decimal may be carried out 3 places. Example 1.909 and 1.000 and 1.640. Then when I open the .eprt file in edrawings they display as 1.91 and 1 and 1.64. Anne Van Epern C.G. Bretting Mfg., Ashland, WI www.bretting.com...

    Edrawings measuring precision

    I'm using eDrawings '07 Pro. When using the measure tool, I know there is a way to change units but is there a way to change the decimal place precision? Anne Van Epern C.G.
