Good Morning,
Some backstory so you understand what I'm trying to do.
Our company manufactures window guards and I'll be using SolidWorks's PhotoWorks to design pictures of the installation process out in the field however I've run into a snag in my process.
I'm using SolidWorks 2007 currently and I have a part that's causing me some grief. I've created a piece of #12 gauge perforated sheet metal which is currently 5x5. It's a very simple 2 step design and by simply changing the base size the Feature Pattern follows and gives me what I want. I wanted the installation pictures to look as close to reality as possible so I made the pattern follow the true dimensions of #12 gauge perf. The overall size of the perf needs to be 35x55 which therein lies the problem.
I reduced all the image quality settings to their lowest and when I change the base size to the size I need (35x55) SolidWorks crashes/freezes (no surprise.)
I was hoping that somebody out there could enlighten me on how to resolve my issue. I would be most appreciative.
Sincerely,
Rob
