Slight niggle though. When I restore my settings from the Copy Settings Wizard, the problem reappears. Bit of a pain, but at least I can save my files again.

Cheers guys, resetting the registry sorted the problem!

Many thanks for the suggestions all. I'm using my laptop today in order to get the work done, as I'm in a bit of a rush. But I think I'll set tomorrow aside for some housekeeping. I'm quite confident that a re-install will fix the problem, and while I'm at it a tidy up couldn't hurt. That...

Bugger. I had a feeling somebody might suggest a repair/reinstall. My installation disc is at home in my laptop after doing a re-install on that over the weekend. Look's like it might be a wasted day :(

Morning All, I have come to work this morning with a busy day planned. I made a couple of new assemblies first, which I had no problems with. Then I used pack and go to create new versions of some assemblies I already had. Again no problems. Then Solidworks crashed (as if often does on my...

Whilst I'm on the subject, can anybody see a problem with the following part numbering system. Projects and Products etc. are identified by a four digit identifier, as below. 0236 - Project number 0236-101,102,103... - First, second, third component. 0236-001,002,003... - First, second, third...

tph216, You've managed to explain my situation better than I can! I'll give BS 7000 and BS/ISO 10007 a read and see what I can take from them to implement here. I think I can make my life a little easier if I improve my system, but I think the organisational culture won't change until the...

Hi Alex, We do not supply directly to the auto market, and I am based in the UK. Getting this company to conform would be a nightmare task if we did! Although I'm sure it would benefit us in the long run. Cheers

Apologies for the double post.

I think I might be trying to be too strict with my filing system. Thus far I have recreated an explorer style file structure in my vault, in which I try to organise everything nicely. Matt Lombard's SW Administration book warns against this, I am going to take his advice I think. I will try...

Morning all, Some of you may recall that I have asked about document management in the past (along with many others), and I got some great advice when I did. But this time it's a little different. Over the past year or more, I have adopted Workgroup PDM (as a solo user), which was a great...

I could kiss you!!! I won't, but I could! Thankyou very much!

When I do that it snaps to the vertex, but does not create a relation. I'm confused!

Hello All, I am designing an assembly using the top down approach. When I create a new part (Insert Components-->New Part), and choose an existing face of another part as the plane to sketch on, I cannot add any relations between the new part sketch and the existing geometry. For example...
