I have a drawing (drawn 1988 interpreted per MIL-STD-100)using feature control frames. The symbol used is symmetry and after the value the word "TOTAL" is used. The drawing is being redrawn to dimension & tol standards ASME Y14.5-2009. I cannot find a reference to the word being used and...
All,
My work computer is being upgraded and listed below is what I am being offered. I have been asked for input (immediately) and am wondering if anyone sees something here that either would be a good fit or if something can be approved upon. At this point we are running SW 2014 SP5 and are...
Hope this is the correct thread for this question.
I have a welded sheet metal part. The part has two features at the bottom that will have a vent disc welded into place basically making this an inseparable assembly. Incoming QA cannot check the dimensions of the slots after the disc has been...
We have a printed circuit board assembly being developed that has space rated components and specific notes for processing and testing a space rated board. We want to make a test board using commercial available parts (cheaper and less lead time).
Space board would be XX54321 (no dash number...
I have a sheet metal part with a flange on each side. On the opposing outside faces of each flange are a series of countersunk holes, 6 on each side (using hole wizard). Each series of holes are thier own feature in the feature tree.
When I dimension thses holes in the drawing using the hole...
Is the total overall reference dimension for repetitive features required to be on the drawing? Example 4 X .250 (=1.000) or 4 X .250. I recall reading somewhere that the reference dimension is either no longer used or optional. Cannot remember where I read it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Is it permissable to use a mix of 2 and 3 place decimal dimensions units (inch)in the same callout example 3 place decimal for thru hole tolerance and 2 place decimal for c'bore diameter and 2 place decimal for c'bore depth. ASME Y14.5 2009 states that in using bilateral tolerances all units...
I have been asked if it is acceptable to take a group of note numbers (in sequence) on a drawing and put them on one line "4-11 DELETED", instead of the customary listing each note number individually on it's own line, with the term deleted after the number. (we use term deleted, not removed)...
On a few occasions I have been asked to insert/embed a jpeg file onto a drawings sheet and with the exception of one time have told engineering that this is a practice I would like to stay away from for the following reasons:
1. Clarity, graphics files typically do not have the best resolution...
It appears as though the 2d editor program is only for a 32 bit machine. I was recently upgraded to a 64 bit machine and need the ability to edit and at times, create, dwg files.
Does solidworks have a program similar to the 2d editor that is compatible with a 64 bit machine?
Thanks
I have a question regarding the trailing "m" in the ASME Y14 series specifications and why it is there if it is acceptable to dimension in inch units.
Also why is it listed at the end of other specs, such as Y14.34M, Associated lists, as well as a few others.
Thanks
I am trying to move a section view of a part to a subsequent drawing sheet (sheet 3) leaving the parent that the section view was taken from where it is (sheet 2).
I am using SW2010 SP2. I have done this many times before in previous versions of SW and am not having any luck. I can easily move...
Hi All,
Last week I had a severe computer crash that ended with windows creating a new user file for me. I have been using SW 2009 since January and still had 2008 installed on my machine. I have removed this but it left information for 2009 in my original user name. Whenever IT loads SW they...
I am trying unsuccessfully to find the setting that will insert a gap around intersecting and/or overlapping dimension lines and arrows. Seems to me in past versions I did not have an issue with it. The only thing I can find is in the options dialogue box, under dimensions there is a box that is...
Looking at the approved video cards for 2009 I see that the one I currently have, nvidia quatro fx 540 (128mb memory) is not listed at all. I am currently running SW 2008 sp4.
Looks like I will need to upgrade and would like some input from you good folks as to what would work best for my...
I am working on an assembly, this assy has 43 components in it. When I drop this on a sheet and insert a SW BOM, one of the components that is listed in the feature mgr tree as item 29 is displayed in the SW BOM as item 6. I am using SW 2008 sp4.0.
Previous versions of SW allowed you to...
Hi,
We have a customer that requires a copy of the 3d model whenever we make a change to the model. They use catia v5, we use solidworks 2007.
They require format to be either catia v, catia v importable models, step203 or iges.
My question is what are the "mportable models" that catia can...

I have a simple plate with a fair number of threaded holes. Also on this plate there is text that will be impression stamped onto the part. I have used the cut-extrude feature to show this on the part.
I am using the hole table function to locate the holes. Problem is the hole table is...
Question regarding moving BOM from sheet 2 to sheet 1.
I have an assembly drawing. There are 50+ parts and 20+ notes. The model is inserted onto sheet 2. I would like to display the BOM on sheet 1. There is no room on sheet 1 for the complete model. I could move the notes to another sheet, but...
