Ok guys I am lost on how to do this. We created a bunch of weldment files and then brought them into a master assembly. It works great for the drawing aspect, but I can't export a master cut list out of the assembly. One idea I had was all the drawings with cutlist have been created. Is...

Anybody know a good place to find entry level solidworks people in Houston. I called the local ITT office and the local community colleges and they don't teach Solidworks anymore or never did. I was hoping to give a young aspiring person a start in the fabulous career of drafting/design, but...

Been using solidworks for a couple of months now and I am absolutely loving the weldment features. The only problem I have is when I am adding plates on top of my skids. Right now I basically make a box extruding it the thickness of my plate and making the appropiate cut outs. Then I have to...

Is there a button that turns off Mate References. They seemed to have stopped working on me. They were working fine yesterday. CadNutCase SW 2006

Here are my questions, my var is becoming more useless everyday. At this point workarounds are acceptable. 1st - My BOM in the drawing is not reading my $PRP@description file created in my pipe part file. Is there a reason for this, or am I just missing something. It reads the descriptions...

Ok I have been using Solidworks for two months now and I am love. I do have a minor problem though, I setup my border template. Is there a way to lock the positions of everything? I notice that when I create a new drawing when using my template I am able to move border entities. I have...

Is there a way to place multiple cut list on the same sheet. I would like to detail 4 or 5 simple weldments on one sheet, but it doesn't give me the option to add a 2nd cut list. I tried searching here but didn't come up with anything. My VAR wasn't much help because nobody has asked him this...

1st question Okay I picked up a logitech trackball marble mouse real cheap and was hoping I could use the ball part as a left handed mouse to rotate my model. Similiar to what some of you guys use the spaceball I think. I want to keep my regular mouse on the right hand and spin the model with...

Once again I like to say what a great forum this is, I have been doing a lot of my research on here. Well my firm made the jump to solidworks, so add 6 more seats to the total count. The past two days have been a blast. I have started building templates for our major components. Basically...

First I like to say this is a great site, not just the solidworks forum but the whole site in general. I don't post up here much because I can always find the information I need through searches. (Beginning rant now) Ok I am not debating about which software is better here. Lets talk about...
