Anyone have any experiences with CustomWorks software from Cadworks software, www.cadworkssoftware.com for use with PDMWorks for auto-part numbering, file naming and export of assmebly structures. None of the contact emails on their website seem to work?
Hello. I am part of a group tasked with taking a look at which packages to use for Thermal Simulation of simple PCB's and full chassis including multiple PCB's in a sheet metal housing for fluid flow and hotspots. Some fans and inlets with a half dozen boards. Current packages I have been...
In Solidworks....click Tools, Options, System Options tab, in the General section, make sure there is a check next to "View thumbnail graphics preview in Windows Explorer." It puts the preview image of the SW doc in as the icon. :-)
Happy Holidays!!
Fairly easy to solve this one, buy more seats of Solidworks. If you have enough work to justify the need, then purchase the software. For what you pay for maintenance on UG and Pro/E seats that are just sitting there, you can replace them with Solidworks seats. The UG and Pro/E translators in...
Working locally on your hard drive or are you opening these files off a network drive? No matter how fast your network is, it's always faster to work locally. I had a case of 4600 components in an assembly that took 6-7 minutes to open over the network, took 35 seconds to open once we moved...
Driveworks Express is typically $995 US. The promo for Solidworks 2006 is that all existing and new users will get a 1 year license for free as part of the upgrade to 2006. it doesn't look like it's permanent like Cosmos or Moldflow, but I think it's great. It'll give folks that need it a...
Sure there is...Insert, Features, Move/Copy. You can take an entire body either native or imported and translate or rotate is about the X, Y, Z axes and it will change it's orientation in the graphics area with respect to the origin and reference triad. Give 'er a shot, unless I am...
SBaugh, you may want to take a look again, Task Scheduler will allow for a Custom Task to be schedule and perform certain operations as specified in a macro or custom file. This should allow tap90291 to create a macro or custome script for the operation needed and schedule it with Task...
Try Physical Dynamics in the Move Component Tool or you can select the Simulation tools and apply a rotary motor to one gear and have it turn the other. Gear mates are ok, but if you want to simulate true physical contacting bodies, the Physical Dynamics or Simulation tools are your better bet.
MMike1,
Large assembly mode has been enabled and this "blocky" type graphics is due to the "Level of Detail" slider in your options. Check under Tools, Large Assembly mode and it has probably been enabled as you've likely gone beyond the threshold set in your default options. That or your...
Hey guys, ran across a tip to help reduce file size and increase performance recently. I tested it and in some cases part file sizes shrank 10-50%.
In Tools, Options, Systems Options, General there is an option to "save e-drawings data in file". Well apparently at one point e-drawings could...
m60gunner, kinda gettin' ahead of yourself?? I would try to fix my install and get off sp1.1 before I worried about a new release. If the VAR said to uninstall and reinstall, they might be thiking that same thing that some of us are, bad original install. If your having issues with XP sp2.0...
I would recommend uninstalling as it sounds like a corrupt install. If uninstall does not work, I recommend using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from Microsoft to wipe it clean. Also delete your directories and remove the reg key entries in Current User and Local Machine to clean off...
Jim,
They were originally thinking of 2005+, but it looks like it will be 2006 instead. They showed SW 2006 at SW World in January to the users, it's no secret that it will be out this summer. They aren't necessarily skipping a release, just changed the name of what it was going to originally...
