I'm currently using MS Project 2002, and one minor annoyance is that the text displayed (in a task sheet, for example) is rather smaller. I would like to zoom it by say 120% or 130% to make easier to read, like you can in other MS Office apps. However, I haven't found where this can be done...
Just curious, what happened to the Ansys communities that were hosted on the Ansys website? Last time I checked, it said the community forum had been discontinued. It seemed to be pretty active, so I'm surprised by that. Glad this one is still around though.

Does SE provide default captions for common drawing views (eg Front, Top, Right, ISO), or do you have to type these in by hand?
I don't see them, so I'm guessing not, but thought it was worth asking.
Thanks,

How do I sketch an entity, like a rectangle or circle, where the dimensions you specify for it when creating it (via the command bar) stay fixed?
When I do this now, with the current default settings, the size changes when alignment constraints are applied. But I just saw an SE video tutorial...
Right now decimal points in dimensions are indicated with a comma (,) rather than a period. How do I change that?
I found where to do it for individual dimensions (by editing their properties), but would like to make it global (and can't find where to do that).
Thanks,
Pat
This is a simple (but annoying) thing. Sometimes when drawing a centerpoint-arc, the arc tool will try to draw the arc in the opposite direction from what I want. For example, after selecting the centerpoint and starting point, if I then move the cursor counter-clockwise, the arc will...
I created a number of custom colors when I was trying to come up with a background color I liked. I would now like to delete some of them, but I don't see where that is done. How do I do that?
Thanks,

I have a SW09 assembly I want to export as a parasolid. Somewhere I read that if I export the assembly file, the associated part files would all export as well (saving me the trouble of having to export each one individually). That isn't working though. Did I misunderstand, or there a...
SEwST apparently can't import a native SW09 file (at least it couldn't when I tried it) -probably because SW09 came out after SEwST was released.
So what is the best alternative format? Parasolid?
Thanks,
Pat
This is pretty basic, but what is the recommended procedure for creating the parts in an assembly?
From what I can see, it looks like there are two approaches:
1. Create a "base" part, drag that into a new assembly, and then use the "Create Part In-Place" command to create the others.
2...
Is it possible to have both SEwST and v20 installed on the same computer? If so, any special procedures I need to follow?
I currently have SEwST installed (floating license) but would like to try SEv20. I'd rather not uninstall SEwST to do that though.
Thanks for any help with this.

I'm currently doing a trial of SolidWorks (trying to decide between it and Solid Edge), and am wondering if it is possible to use variables to represent dimensions in a sketch? I'm trying to do one of the SE tutorials in SW (good way to compare the two) and in this one several of the dimensions...
Again, I'm working through a SW tutorial where a rack is made by drawing a 3D curve and then sweeping a profile (circle in this case) along it (the rack is basically a rod with some bends in it). This is something Cobalt could do very easily also. I'm sure SE can as well (it's such a common...
I saw that Buy.com has the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator for only $37 (with free shipping):

I'm considering buying one but was wondering how well it works with SE. Has anyone used this...
I'm currently doing a trial of SW, having just completed a trial of SE. It's been interesting seeing how they compare. So far I've found them to be pretty similar in a lot of ways There are a lot of differences though (mostly minor) and it's one of these I have a question about (I'm sure I'll...
This is the same question I just asked over in the SW forum, but since I'm still consider SE I thought I would ask here as well.
I have a contractor who will be doing some mechanical design work me, and if I buy SE I would like him to be able to use it for this. I will probably use it very...
I'm currently evaluation CAD products and plan to purchase one soon. SW is high on the list (currently doing a trial in fact) but one thing I would like to be able to do is share it. I have a contractor working for me who will need it for some up coming design work. My use will be pretty...
I know this a question that gets asked a lot, but I searched and didn't see any direct answers. So here goes.
I'm currently doing a trial and would like to load SW onto my laptop so I can play with it while on travel (which often involves a lot of down time). I have an older laptop, a Dell...
I'm interesting in doing a trial of SW, but my local SW var keeps insisting I sit through a demo before providing a trial CD. I really don't want to do that, as I expect it will just be a big sales pitch (besides, there are plenty of those online). I just want to get my hands on the software...
