I use this just enough to make it annoying. I want to attach a note to a particular place on the drawing (mostly CL symbol) and then I want to remove the leader without having to close the Note Manager.
Right now, I must place the note, close the Manager (because the No Leader button is grayed...
I have just installed SW2016 SP2 and have a problem with one of my newly created files. I have my SW Explorer and my Windows 7 Explorer set to show icons. The one newly created part and drawing show as a bitmap in SW only. If I change the folder name in any way they show as icons. When I create...
I have revise the Hole Wizard callouts (calloutformat.txt) to our company standards, but I have some drawn slots that use another set of callouts. They were made using the slot toolbar button and their callouts only show the width X length. Does anyone know where these reside?
Thanks, Sylvia
I've used Tobin's Balloon Note macro from its beginning, but we've just upgraded to Windows 7 & SW 2011 x64 and the macro no longer functions. This is the error I received:
Run-time error '13'
Type mismatch
Debug:
Global swDoc As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Global swSelMgr As SldWorks.SelectionMgr...
We just upgraded to 2010 sp3. All individual parts are coming into the assembly with Display States. We don't use these and I would like to minimize them in the Feature Manager. Is there a macro that will clear these or do I have to open each part?
In 2009 they only showed for assemblies and I...
Our extension lines and the right side of the gtol box are showing up as thick Phantom lines. We've been struggling with this since we moved from 2008. We're on 2009 SP2.1 (ANSI). All our settings seemed to have remained as they were. Any help? Thanks, Sylvia
One of our engineers just purchased an engraver and needs to have our company trademark (W in a circle about 11kb in dxf) converted to hpgl (.plt) format. Does someone have a program that could do this for him? He's tried the engraver company , our VAR and a company that has a SW add-in without...
I just tried to rebuild a sketch that had previously rebuilt. I received this message, "The sketch contains a doubly nested contour.". I've deleted the highlighted lines and redrawn them, but I can't get rid of the message. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks.

Could someone explain where this symbol resides?
I have a note that I would like a flag placed in. None of the symbols in the library are the shape I need. i.e. triangle, sqcircle, etc..
I place a balloon on the drawing with a text number in a diamond. I edit the note, click on the balloon and...
Is there a way to fix the view arrows so they don't slide around? I used the edge of the part to generate the auxillary view.
Thanks.

SW2007 SP1.1
I created a new folder using the Add My Parts Wizard. I would like to remove it. I deleted the tables in the database and now I get and error when I try to access the wizard saying that "Microsoft jet database engine cannot find input table or query _____. Make sure it exists and that its name...
The last schematic post was in May 2005 so I'm sure this needs an update.
Has anyone used Electra software for schematics? It's Visio based, so I was wondering about Solidworks compatibility. Does anyone have any other schematic software that they'd recommend? We have SW 2006 SP4.0
Thanks. Sylvia
I have been trying to get this solved for 2 years and 3 releases. When creating dual dimensions, and inserting the Inspection Box, the box becomes elongated and assymetrical. The worst case occurs with dual dims and bi-lateral tolerences. Many times the boxes overlap other dimensions. Does...
I am trying to add identical parts (orifices with different size holes) to the Toolbox. I have opened each part and saved it in an iso view. All parts appear the same in their preview box, but when I add them to the Toolbox Browser some come in with a completely different view and background...
I would like to use Word for my notes because of the ease of formatting. Does it normally appear with a border around it after exiting or is it my graphics card? It is not a formatted border.
Does anyone know if anything was done with the SW text format in 2004? It really has very little real...
We loaded 2003 (from 2001+) about 2 weeks ago and my File menu adds or eliminates commands randomly between opening & closing a drawing. I'm running on Windows NT 4.0. Also, the Reset All button is inactive. How do I activate it? Thanks.
