Hi!
Is it possible to replace a block? The only way I've been able to do it is to insert the new block over the other and deleting the old one.
Thanks, Patrick
Hi!
I don't know when Dassault Systèmes went live with their xDesign cad modeler in a browser but I received a link to try it out. Before going into much details about how useful or not this could be I wanted to know more about who is the targeted user base. Is it included with a SW licence...
Hi! We are a small company with 30 employees, including 3 full time cad user (SW) and 8 part time for using a total of 7 floating licenses. We have a custom made system used to purchase everything we need for our projects. Unfortunately we did not invest time yet to develop some kind of bridge...
Hi! Since it's been almost two years since this thread thread724-386645 I would like to get feedback from people using OnShape for a living. I receive a ton of articles from OnShape telling me how it's the new way to work, how easy it is to setup, that your files are secure, you can use it...
Hi Everyone!
I've been working with SolidWorks for five years now and I've always manage to access my files using windows explorer. I remember opening SolidWorks explorer five years ago to see if it could be useful and closed it two minutes later and forgot about it. I'm now wondering if I may...
Hi!
Before I go into calculating the thread strength itself. I would like to know what do you think of this assembly: I have a robot tool to design that will use 42 suction cups. I'm planning to hold the suction cup with a welded structure made of aluminum (6061-T6). I would like to make...
Hi! I would like to know if there is something wrong with me because when I try to get the Density Manager Macro to install on my laptop with SW 2011 it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm currently looking for a new mobile workstation and I would like to clear up one thing. I know SolidWorks is mostly single threaded because of the feature calculation and all. So why would I want to buy a quad core processor?
The two processors are almost the same price (35$ difference)...
Hi! We are working with SW 2010 and we got some files that were sent to us in ACIS format (.sat) I was unable to open them and the error message I got was that the ACIS files were from a newer version.
I've been able to open them with a trial copy of SW 2012 and saving back to a parasolid files...
Hi!
How can I copy an entire project to a new name while maintaining the associativity between assemblies, parts and drawings?
I played a bit with Pack and Go but I wish there would be a quicker way to rename all the files for the new project.
I also tried the explanation from this faq...
This question may seem odd and it's intended for users who know SolidEdge and SolidWorks. I switched job three months ago and I'm now using SolidWorks I find myself wishing I could have a Revision Manager has it exist for SolidEdge to copy a complete project with all its reference and being able...
Hi! The question may seem a bit odd, but I would like to take a group of parts from an assembly, they are all mated together but it's not a sub assembly, and bring them in a different assembly. It's kind of like if I want to make a copy with mates but between two different assemblies.
Is it...
Hi!
Is there a way to edit the properties of a bunch of drawing files at the same time.
I would like to be able to take all the drawing files from a folder and be able to edit their properties in a window (think excel type).
Is it possible?
Thanks

Hi all!
On one side I have the SolidWorks Toolbox that contains a lot of different sizes of structural profiles that are very interesting and on the other side I have the weldment profiles that are very usefull in a weldment part. Unfortunately there is only a small amount of included weldment...
Hi everyone.
I started a new job last month using SolidWorks 2010, I went through the tutorials and I'm now getting accustomed to the software. Previously I used Solid Edge for 6 years so of course I have a lot of habits coming from this experience and I'm sorry If I use the wrong vocabulary...
Hi!
Here's the situation, with ST2 trad, I made a pattern of bolt with nut for a caster so I have the caster and four nuts and four bolts, then I created another pattern for the caster with the bolt pattern. So now I have four casters and sixteen bolts and nuts.
Everything works like a charm...
Hi!
I'm a designer / Drafter working on a CAD station most of my day. I read a little on the internet about working standing up and the idea sounded interesting so I figured out a quick setup using books and carton boxes to lift my stuffs to work standing up.
I used it for two weeks and really...
I would like to find an easy way to know the exact surface area of a part/sheetmetal part. I've been able to use the inspect command to find the area of a single surface but then I had to manually select every surface and adding them to have the total area. Is there an easier (quicker) way to do...
Hi
I'm the lone user of SE at my company, I'm still working happily with V20 and I'm still holding back on ST.
I'm curious to see what ST looks like but from all I'm reading here and on the UGS newsgroup I'm not sure if it's a good idea to install it.
I'm in a down period for a week or two...
I drew a small plant layout in a sketch in an assembly. I used different colors to have a clean view of what is what. Then I inserted some models inside the assembly to position the equipments that will go in the layout.
Until there everything works like a charm. But my problem is when I want...
