    Shaded View too dark in Drawing (SW 2010)

    That's what I'm leaning towards. Meaning the fix (if one exists) isn't worth the trouble. Maybe I'll mess with the Display States - I've found they can be a little screwy sometimes, too.

    Shaded View too dark in Drawing (SW 2010)

    This doesn't seem to be possible (at least not in release 2010)-though it should be: Being able to adjust "lights" in a drawing-individually from the actual model. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but sometimes the shaded view in the drawing is darker than the shaded view in the model...

    Cut-Away View on Sketch Plane

    Whatever plane you have active will be the section plane when you simply click the Section View tool. Not sure what it is you actually need, but this will leave you looking at a bona fide section view from your chosen plane. If you want to get sectional geometry from this (meaning your Sketch...

    Bad Loop

    There's no "Mirror sketch" - I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm referring to mirrored bodies, which were subsequently combined to the "main body" (had to be done that way - long story). But- not to worry - I finally stopped fighting with the fillet, changed the order of some operations...

A fillet of a curving, inside corner on the right successfully completes, but the identical corner on the left fails, with the error dialogue suggesting it may be a bad loop. The corner to be fillet is...

    Change sheetmetal thickness

    OK, Never Mind - found my brain hiding under my desk, popped it back in, and figured it out. Of course it was obvious & simple enough. Well, not that obvious at 1st - had to refresh my memory on how a linked value might get initially created when the user doesn't actually do the work of creating...

    Change sheetmetal thickness

    Hi, all. New member here, with my 1st question: I have a decent amount of experience with SW sheet metal, but I don't often start things with the Base Flange feature, and when I have, I've never had to later change the sheet metal thickness. But it doesn't appear possible to change the sheet...
