Yes, it occurred to me this morning that by splitting this at a strategic location I can achieve what I need. However having that functionality (creating single intersecting path) would be very helpful if move on to more complex layouts. I'm not too familiar with the enhancement request system...
Hi All,
Running SW2014 x64 SP4.0
In the attch part, in sketch 82, I am trying to place equally spaced points along the path, starting at the origin, going left (-x), and spaced every 120".
Usually I would do something like this by fitting a spline to the entire path, then inserting...
It prints grey, hardly readable. Don't believe it's property linked..
mjcole, didn't fully follow your suggestion BUT I did get the text black with the Line Color icon on the Line Format Toolbar. So I'm all set, thanks.
Having found that, I played around a little more and the behaviour just...
Hi I am using SW2010
problem: I am trying to make the text black in the title of the attached document
first proposed solution:
1. open document
2. right click whitespace on page > select Edit Sheet Format
3. double click text instance i would like to change
4. on pop-up Formatting box, click...
Great, thanks, knew it was something that simple, didn't realize you could hide a part from within the part file itself.
And now I realize the "hide components" icon in assemblies is a part icon with glasses. All this time I thought it was a part icon with breasts!
Hi all,
I have a part that, when I open it, I no longer see anything. If I click on a feature in the design tree, an outline of the feature gets displayed and "sticks". Ie, I can rotate, zoom, and generally see where the part is "supposed" to be. Also, I can open and edit sketches. But the...
I'm bad at explaining things so these screenshots might help clarify.
Every file in this assembly got a name change, I did them all the same way one right after another. But only certain ones (CENTER-DOOR-A1, DOOR-CLIP-A1, DOOR-MAGNET, 4-38-PANSQSMS-94155A090) display the update in the...
Hi drawoh -
Thanks for the reply. I know that Windows filenames are not case sensitive and that I have to completely rename and then rename back to original but in upper-case; and I have been doing this.
(I'd tried conveying this, albeit poorly, with "Each case actually requires renaming...
Hi All,
I've been asked to standardize all of my SolidWorks parts and assemblies to contain ONLY upper case letters in the filenames. So I went through each part and assembly, and did any required renaming via "Solidworks Re-name" in the SolidWorks Explorer. Each case actually requires...
Ah, thanks - that's easy. I'd selected all the top level parts and assemblies and tried "set lightweight to resolved" and for some reason that didn't work - but your way did. thx again.
Hi we are trying to upgrade our graphics cards
To help choose best one we are analyzing # triangles in typical models
The macro only works if all the parts in your assem are resolved.
Thus the reason for my question.
I have a medium size model would like to resolve every part in it,

This used to happen to me a lot, especially on relatively complex sketches with relatively many segments.
What really helped me out is, instead of drawing the WHOLE sketch and then doing the feature.....
I work on small pieces at a time. Then temporarily "close up" the sketch with a line...

Do you know if this started at a particular SW version, or if there is a control to turn this off, which I may have inadvertently turned selected?
I use SW2010, have View->StatusBar checked, but I can't recall ever seeing any information pop up down there. I am very interested...
