    Eratic Mouse Behavior

    My Mouse is uncontrollable on new drawings or drawing I am trying to revise. The Mouse jumps like Snaps are on, but they are not. It is near impossible to get the point to start you want. Has anyone else experienced this? Other than this I think it is great to have an option to Acad.

    Extrude or Cut Straight then at 15 deg

    I have an extruded part that is a square shape, then 10" long. I need to cut a shape in the top for 8.75" parallel to bottom then change the cut to an angle of 15 deg with the base and keep the cut sketch perpendicular to the base for 1.25". I have no problem up until the last 1.25".

    'fully defined sketch'

    My computer died. It was exchanged by our company with one that had SW2007 ipo SW2006 that I was more familiar with. On the most primitive of sketches (a circle) when trying to extrude the circle, I am faced with an error message that states 'This operation requires a fully defined sketch'. Only...

    Plot Stamp for SolidWorks 2006

    Is there a Plot Stamp type of feature in SW similar to Acad's? After so many drawings you tend to loose track of the different revisions. This also goes for: Drive, file name, date, scale, etc.

    Sweep Boss

    I have constructed a 3D wire frame that is the centerline of a Bent Wire that I want. How do I go about Sweeping a circular shape along this wire frame centerline? The Sweep Boss/Base Icon is shaded, not lit. I was able to do basically the same procedure on a wire frame that I constructed on one...

    Rotate Origin 90 Deg.

    Am I correct in assuming that it is not possible to Rotate the Origin 90Deg to get the Front and Right to be in correct position. I think that is what I read in: thread559-101772 Thanks 11991

    Create Model from Cast Shape

    I have a casting of the tops of two dies. They have been scanned and saved as a .sldprt file. The file is attached. I need to create models for the cast contours. I thought about offsetting surfaces, then deleting the attached file description but all gets deleted. What would be the way to do...

    Changing and Retaining Settings

    I am missing something very basic. How do you change and keep new defaults when changing them in (Tools, Options, System Options & Document Properties)? It must be an easy thing to do but I am completely missing how to do it. TIA 11991

    Generating Chamfer

    We are punching an elliptical hole through a conical surface in a part approx .250" thick. I am trying to design a tool to "coin" an angular face around this hole. The tool is approx .250" larger than the hole all around. I have not been able to generate the chamfer surface. I could do a...

    Trouble with Hole Wizard

    I am using SW2004 SP4.1 and am having difficulty putting in a ctb'r. hole in an area that is near the intersection of a horizontal face and a conical surface. If I use the horiz. surface as my plane the ctb'r. does not extend up thru the conical surface. If another plane is used above the horiz...

    Generate A Chamfer To An Edge inside a Bellville Washer

    I have an irregular shaped column that has had the top SWEEP cut. The SWEEP cut was at an angle so the radii across the top constantly changes. I have been unable to get a chamfer, either by the Chamfer or SWEEP CUT commands.
