We have been sent a Turbocad (.tcw) file and need to re-save it as either a dwg or dxf to enable us to use it in Solidworks. Does anyone have or know where you can download a free convertor / translator to do this??
Thanks

I seem to remember being told not to install desktop search in a previous version of SW, is this still the case with SW2008? Does it cause any performance issues?
Thanks

All,
Does anyone know from SW World or otherwise if SW are thinking of re-writing the code to utilise all cores of a processor rather than just one. I know SW uses more than one core for certain things but not opening files and this is where we have our major performance hit. If they were to...
Does anyone have experience of running SW2008 x64 with Windows 2000 server. We are currently running SW2007 on it with no problems, by this I mean the vault (PDMWorks) is running on the server.
I know it isn't supported by SW, but we aren't upgrading our server until the last quarter of 2008...
Does anyone have a macro / API code for adding the DateCompleted to existing SW parts / assemblies. I can get it to add into new files by adding it to the custom properties in the templates. I've also added it to the custom properties in the Vault Admin tool.
The problem I have is PDMWorks...
Does anyone have any thoughts on using a non-certified Nvidea 512Mb graphics card rather than a SW certified card? We mainly struggle with CPU usuage rather than graphics so we were considering testing a non-certified card.
Our hardware supplier is currently testing the latest hardware for us...
We seem to have a problem with edge flange in SW2007 SP4.0. It doesn't seem to matter whether you select the function or the edge first but most times it crashes SW once the flange is displayed. We've tried closing ours eyes and praying but this doesn't always work lol..
Has anyone else seen...
Does anyone has any code / API mods or suggestions for making archiving data any easier? SW tell you to structure your vault with loads of sub projects to keep it tidy and fast for access. The only problem occurs when you try to archive data, you can't select a top level project and apply the...
Any ideas on this one.
We have a multi seat design office using Solidworks 2007, across a 10/100M bit network. We know we would be better off using a Gigabit network to improve network access etc, but costs etc mean we are stuck with what we've got at the moment.
The problem we are having is...
We have 10 seats of SW 07 pro & 1 off SW 07 premium. The premium edition randomly crashes for no apparant reason when the software isn't being used. The workstation has a AMD processor, 4Gb of RAM, ATi 7100 graphincs card on Windows XP Pro (now on sp2).
There is no real pattern to when and how...
I've been using a Spaceball 5000 USB with SW for several years now. Just recently we've changed over to SW 2007 x64 SP3.1 on Windows x64.
The problem I have is every so often my measeure tool (programmed to button 9) stops working. I've made sure the measure function is assigned correctly in...
We are experiencing problem with the display graphics in SW 2007 x64. We are using the SW specified drivers for the ATi fire GL 7100 (256Mb).
It seems you can be working fine change windows in SW and the graphics won't update, the feature tree etc is fine but all you can see is the screen you...
Has anyone else come across 'Failed to save document' when saving a file in Solidworks. I'm using 2006 SP4 at the moment, but I have seen this on previous releases. It mainly seems to occur on lrage assemblies / drawings, but sometimes it can occur on smaller assemblies. I'm not sure if its...
Once you've created an animation in an assembly i.e for example a walkthrough of a machinery factory. You find that you want to add a new step or a time pause into the animation. You can add a new point into the animation but it doesn't move all the other points along by the time you've added...
Does anyone know if the following is possible in SW?
Once the weldment is created & a cut list is inserted into the drawing we have to save it away as a txt file so that we can modify it in MS Word to add clip art items showing the cut direction i.e for example if a piece of RHS is cut 45°...
Does anyone know if you can transfer an animation from a sub assembly into the main assembly? I used the camera function inside SW to create a animated sequence, this is stored inside the sub-assebly. I was hoping to use this same animation inside the main assembly.

We are currently using workstations supplied by CAD2 (very good). We have expanded our SW use from a single seat to 4 seats, and are going to add another 7 over the next year.
The machine spec is as follows:-
3.6Ghz intel processor
2Gb RAM
128Mb ATI Fire GL V5100
Windows XP Pro
Solidworks 2006...
