Hi All, I have a model where I'm building a composite curve with a spiral and I want to have a driven dimension which gives me the total length of the composite curve. I know that I can measure the length of the composite curve, how can I turn that into a parameter? Is that possible? 60%...

Is it possible to return only the inside or outside surface area of piping? It seems I can only get an all or nothing result. And if I try to model just a surface the mass properties are greyed out. Thanks in advance. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Thanks I'll check that out right now 60% of the time, it works every time.

Hi All, I'm trying to model up a dynamics problem and I was wondering if it's possible to adjust a dimension with a mass goal in mind. So if I want the mass of the part to be 5kg, Solidworks will adjust a dimension I specify in order to hit that value. In excel it's called goal seek I believe...

Can I give you his email so you can tell him that? Just kidding. I still have to invoice him. As to the format I'm already sending him tifs. I'll try PNG. I've tried Photoshop files but Solidworks always freezes after it's 3/4 finished rendering. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Thanks for all the help people. Now the next question is, what format should I be using to render with no background if my client has an old version of PS? I'm doing test renderings right now to give to him but any tips would be great. Cheers 60% of the time, it works every time.

Hi All, I've created some renderings as tif files with no background, and the Alpha channel enabled. If I open them up in GIMP (my free photo editing program) they look fine with the grey and white checkered background indicating that there is in fact, no background. Now my client opens up...

I figured out that if I disable both Parts and Structured viewing then it lets me have my pic. 60% of the time, it works every time.

I enabled everything but it still won't let me select a different format. 60% of the time, it works every time.

I'm trying to create an Assembly drawing parts list, and I'm not able to select "Parts Only" when inserting the Parts list? Any ideas why this might be. Is there some setting in Assembly I don't know about? Thanks 60% of the time, it works every time.

I accidentally re-imaged some computers with a stand alone license number and not our network license. I now need to export the licenses so I can re-image with the network license and free up those stand alone licenses. My problem is that I don't have the License Transfer Utility on the...
