I've heard this is catching on in Europe. No direct experience with the equipment. https://amepa.de/en/produkte/ofis/

Yep, exactly what I was suggesting. As far as the task pane, that's the toolbar options that are typically over on the right. I'll try to attach a screenshot. Normally there would be more options/windows there than what you have shown in your screenshot. Perhaps the other boxes are there and...

Can you right click on it in the file tree to check it out from there? Which version of solidworks? Are there other windows available on the task pane? I see others in addition to the info box.

Your bottom pictures looks about right for an actual tapped hole through a countersink...

They look a lot like McMaster 5923K32. These are similar to those used in devices like a "Cool Shirt". https://coolshirt.com/product-category/motorsports/motorsports-kits/

I've updated Draftsight on a couple of machines to the latest and greatest 2017 SP2. The software immediately crashes after activation. I've tried a clean install and just about everything else I can think of. Any suggestions? Thanks, Matt Matt Smith Mechanical Engineer

Thank you all for your comments. I recently had the same issue after a fresh install and found this posting again. Disabling the "smooth scrolling" option in SetPoint Settings did the trick. Game detection was turned off. Matt Smith Mechanical Engineer

As a sidebar to the discussion here, why would you use a multibody part? Matt Smith Mechanical Engineer

TheTick - I had never inserted more than one part into a part. Thank you for the suggestion. ctopher - Once it is an assembly there are some cutting options (wrap in this instance) which I would like to use that are no longer available. Matt Smith Mechanical Engineer

Thank you for the suggestions. I have previously used configurations for this type of component. I have several different versions of this part which use the base welded assembly as the starting part. Then through additional welding and/or machining operations it is made into other finished...

I am working on creating an assembly of parts which is machined. What I'm looking for is others experiences to try to determine a best practice for this type of a part. The finished part is created by machining two parts, welding them together, and then finish machining additional features...
