I have absolutely no idea what <ALT> 0010 is supposed to mean or do... Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation www.sncorp.com Solidworks 2005

But there's no way to do this in 2005? Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation www.sncorp.com Solidworks 2005

I did a search on word wrap but only got a few hits regarding BOM's. I'm in the process of creating custom sheet formats and so far have been forced to add 3 separate "title" properties because a single property (if filled with too much text) won't wrap down. I wanted to use a single property...

I appreciate the tip - just wish I learned it 2 days ago. Coming from an Autodesk background, not much in SW is intuitive or works the way I think it should. I know Spencer [bigears]. He works up in ISR. Where you from? Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation www.sncorp.com...

Nevermind, I figured it out. I assumed it must have something to do with print area since I created the D from the C and so many SW "switches" and such are carried over. I had to reset the scale factor. I imagine I'll have a lot of issues like this until I learn the interface in and out. Shane...

I've looked thru past posts but I haven't come across the issue I'm having. I'm creating custom borders/templates. I've modified a C size to become a D size, everything seems fine, but when I try to print preview, or even when I print, the entire contents are invisible. They won't print. What...

Thanks, it seems to have worked. I guess I won't worry about the sheet format as long as when I go to create the drawing the text doesn't revert. Appreciate the help. Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation www.sncorp.com Solidworks 2005

Ok so I did exactly as you said Chris, I changed all anotation fonts as Arial, saved sheet format, saved as drawing template, but I opened the sheet format (slddrt) file, and it still has century gothic as the font file... Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation...

Ok so you're saying I need to have a seperate template for each sheet format? The way SW prompts you to insert your sheet format when you open a template (and the fact that you see all the sheet formats available) I assumed I would only need 1 base template I could use to insert whichever sheet...

I've spent a lot of time and energy creating custom sheet formats and templates for my company. I started with an existing format that used Century Gothic as the standard font and I've tried over and over and over to change it to Arial (my company standard) but I can't get it to stick. I've...

Thanks for the responses guys, but I think the subject is getting off track. I have absolutely NO problem with properties linked to parts & assemblies. They remain empty or invisible until I place the component into the drawing. My original question wasn't about properties that are linked to a...

I'm in the process of creating custom borders and I'm trying to utilize as many built-in and custom properties as I can to eliminate repetitive data entry. I've searched through the posts but I haven't found anything on my particular issue, so I'm posting this: In Inventor, I can link custom...
