Here is my goal
Column E contains a value representing Hours
Column F contains a YES or No representing preventive maintenance or not.
I want to get column H...
We have a simple CAR procedure in place, not very detailed. We had some parts come back with broken spotwelds, not the first time we have this problem. The parts are like 1 out of several hundred. We do a lot of spot welding on a lot of product lines, they are pretty much expected to have...
I am in need of some Warning Lables, Caution Stickers, things like that to show in my model. I know that Z-XYS has some on his site but I need a little more. Any ideas? I can just draw them myself, I just figured by now there would be something out there.
I am working on this macro to format all text on a drawing. Currently (as it is below) it gets all notes on sheet that are not in a view, and gets all notes on all sheets not in a view. I need to get the text from views also, does anyone know what I am missing. Reason I am trying this it to...
We recieved our 05 disks the other day and will begin our testing soon. One thing I noticed is that the books that came with the 05 disks seem a little thin compared to 04 and 03. Is this the way it will be from now on? I was expecting a similar book to the 04, any info?
I have a user that had been using the downloaded version of 2005. His comp was running a bit slow so we upgraded his video card to an ATI Fire GL X2 (supported). Everything was going well, then he upgraded his install using the CD's. Now anything he opens crashes and is unstable. We have...
Does PDM allow revision rollbacks. For instance if you have a part and you revise the model and the drawing, can you roll back from Revision F to Revision E or even several levels maybe. I am not very familiar with PDM but would be interested to know if it is capable of it. There have been...
We are trying to evaporate our wastewater from a Pre-Paint Rinse Line, which is used mostly for galvanized sheet metal parts. We have constructed our tank from Stainless Steel (316 SS). We have put a Stainless Steel Fire Tube through the tank (it serpentines through the tank). Everything...
Is anyone aware of special fonts available for SolidWorks? Are there special SW fonts available for download somewhere. I always thought fonts were supplied by windows os. If anyone can shed any knowledge about fonts with Solidworks I would appreciate it.
Anyone know of a way I can search a server for a file with a macro. I have to iterate through a large number of folders and sub folders to find my files. I would like to write a macro to iterate through them for me and open or give me options of files to open. I would like to do this in a...
I have seen this question asked dozens of times but I don't think I have ever seen an answere that is easy to understand. I would like to create some New Toolbars for various Macro files I have been working on. I am starting to pile up on macros and the Macro toolbar is starting to take up too...
I am working on the never ending rebuild all configs macro. I have been able to get the macro to force rebuilding of all configs and export the Config names and a true or false value to a file on my desktop. I am still having one problem:
swModel.ForceRebuild3
I have noticed that when I force...
I am using the following macro to rebuild all configs of a model and return me any false values in a desktop file. I thought this would give me any configurations with rebuild errors, but apparently that is not the case. I have found on several instances that I have features with errors but...
I want to show a diameter dimension in an ISO view, I can only get a True R dimension. Is there a legit way to get a diameter dimension other than faking the dimension.
I have a macro that rebuilds all configurations within a model and then returns strings with the configuration name then says Show configuration True/False Rebuild True/False and Time. I am really only interested in the Rebuild, I have figured out how to dump the rest. I noticed that when a...
I have a simple question, I think. I want a macro that will hold the CNTRL key for me while I click multiple entities for mating or measuring or relating..... (call me lazy).
Would this be done with the Send Keys or is there more to it than that????
Thanks guys in advance

Is there a simple way to move a sheet from one drawing to another, not the just the format but the entire sheet. I created a drawing with two sheets but by the time I finished it became apparent that they should have been sheets 2 and 3 to another drawing. I can't seem to find an easy way...
