Are there any industry standard notes that can be applied to a mechanical drawing that specify the cleanliness of the detailed part?
I am looking for something that covers the cleanliness of a delivered part... particularly an accepted level of particulate/contamination, size of particles...
Has anyone heard anything about SW skipping a 2005+ release and opting for 2006 release instead?

What is the best way to model a ribbon cable which bends a couple of times back upon itself? Imagine folding a ribbon cable so that it travels perpendicular to it's origin, and then folding it perpendicular to itself again so that it is now traveling parallel to its original path.
I just can't...
Is it common for Animator to choke on multiple sequences in a schedule?
I have an assembly and am able to animate a screw turning.
I am also able to separately animate some mated components traversing up and down.
BUT when I try to do both at the same time, the mated components sort of...
Is there a way to define the location of text (added via "Note" button)? I would prefer to position the texts exactly (using dimensions?)- not by eyeballing.
These are text items found in your run-of-the-mill title blocks:
DRAWN:
CHECKED:
DATE:
Company Address
REV.
...etc.
Most of them are...
Is there a way to dimension the lines in a title block, but have the dimensions NOT visible when not in the "Edit Sheet Format"?
I am trying to define the location of the lines that comprise the areas of the title block. So far, I have been dimensioning them to get them to the exact location I...
Is there a sure-fire way to NOT get a 3D sketch when creating a hole using the hole wizard? This seems to be the first sketch created when placing the hole. The next sketch (the hole's revolved profile) is a normal 2D sketch.
I would prefer a "standard" sketch as it is easier to define. (I...
Finally, I am back to using SWX after using INV exclusively for over 2 years. Unfortunately, I have come to despise some features in SWX after using them in INV. Maybe I can attribute it to being way too familiar with INV and losing familiarity with SWX... But overall, it's great to be back...
I am looking to create a model of a simple piece of wire that actually is bent as it is inserted into an upper-level assembly. The part comes to me as a straight piece of wire, but will actually bend and conform to a pre-bent piece of tubing it is inserted into. Is there a way to model such a...
Is there a way to apply a knurl to a surface? I know how to apply a knurl (via texture) to an entire part, but is there a way to do it to just a single surface?

Is there any quick way to access the standard orthographic views in a model (.ipt)? I am aware of the use of the "Rotate" icon (3D Rotate Tool) in conjuction with the spacebar to achieve "standard isometric and orthographic views". Is there an easier and more intuitive way...
I am trying to place a weld symbol in a drawing (I need to specify a braze, though). In the help section (in topic "Weld Symbol" under "Arrow Side/Other Side") it states the following:
"...Brazing Specifies whether the weld is brazed. Select or clear the check box...
Is there any way to quickly obtain the standard orthographic views in a model? I know of the "right-click", "isometric view" one, but can I get "front", "side", "back", etc. views in the same manner? I would even be happy with a macro. The...
Can anyone tell me how to constrain my first sketch so that it cannot be moved? For instance, I want to create a base sketch of a rectangle, symmetric about the origin (SWX term) or Center Point (INV term). Is there any way to tie the midpoint of a centerline (from opposite corners of the...
