Has anyone had issue with erratic (not all the time) occurrences when saving (maybe printing too, but for sure saving) a dwg as PDF where properties such as description are still existent in the dwg but they have been "emptied" and their value is blank? This then leads to the PDF not having...
Wondering if there is a clean way to:
a) Disassociate drawing dims from the model after inserting them "automatically" via INSERT MODEL ITEMS
OR
b) Insert dimensions a different way, without doing manually, so that they are not associate to the model
Basically trying to QUICKLY (obviously I...
I thought there was a way to show reference text in the parameter cell for a design table. i.e. "D1@Sketch2 Moment arm" where "Moment arm" is the reference text. Am I just remembering wrong or is there a way? I realize you can change the name of the parameter, but adding in Excel, at least for...
Thanks Scott,
I definitely get (and have been through) the logic and also lean that way. Just wondered if anyone had come across the situation and had solution that was not plotter related. I am generally not so quick to acquit SW, but I agree this seems to be in that direction.
Thanks again.
I have a part that is about 49 in lg. When plotting it 1:1, using a custom sheet size (i.e. ?" x 55"), it scales bigger, by about 6% (i.e. 49" comes out at about 52"). When use a "std" size, like "E", the scale is good. It is just that now I have to print more than one because "E" is not long...
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to "back out" of print preview in SW, back to the print dialog? Seems to me that the only way is to select "Close" or ESC but both completely close out the print dialog and you have to reopen. Now, I use CTRL+P, so not a terribly big deal, but...
Anyone know if there is a 'clean' way to have an alternate "Section A-A" for example. Maybe that is not correct to have an alternate view, but I want to. And by clean I mean I can 'fool' it by making another section and call it A-A and essentially blanking out the letter in the parent view, but...
Thanks CBL, we (SW users @ company) have been on that track, but having difficult time convincing the necessary people and as I mentioned haven't been having too much trouble due to our lack of model/dwg complexity. But what you mention makes sense about the evolving increased demand on video...
Not that experienced with drivers, but our IT person sent the "latest" driver (which I concurred with as being latest per my research, which as it turns our seemed to be separated from our current by quite a few other "updates") for the card but there were even more weird things going on after...
I have an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290. It's terrible for SW as I understand, but we dont have terrible demand for video either and has worked well until now ... but this is all since SW2009.
Anyone get weird video anomalies of inactive windows, usually the most recently active, popping up partially in SW and then going away with a click of the mouse? When I go to use SW OpenGL, goes away, which I have been told means it is the video card which I know is insufficient already, but has...
Thanks, mostly venting there ... I see there is at least SP2.1 out there and I just need to get at it. Not quite seeing the connection with my prob and the link above though. I'm not dealing with the dwg editor unless there is some connection between it and SW dwg interface ... could be, I know...
Anyone having or know of an issue with tolerances in '09? We have been having these seemingly random occurrences of tolerances changing in what appears to be as a conversion from 0.1mm to inches based on the initial value as inches but treating it as mm to be converted. AND it shows the negative...
