Actually today is a network problem, the system has totally crashed. So quite possibly they have been experiencing trouble with it the past week or so. Everything here is down, the SW server, print servers the whole deal. Sorry to bother you guys with this, but at the time I was the only one...

Yes Mango it is on a network drive I am working off of... I will check with IT and see if they are doing anything that would make it flaky. Thanks, Dale

I can't get a hold of him, he is always in class. Seems like every freaking time I have a question are a problem he is in class. It is ridiculous of you ask me... Anyway thats another issue... It is not just one part it is several parts. One of which is a new part I just created a few hours...

I keep getting this error message when I open assemblies or try to insert new parts into assemblies. Can anyone please help in identifying what the problem may be? AN UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURED WHILE ACCESING ###.sldprt Then this message: UNABLE TO ACCESS FILE Dale Rhinehart

Thanks Tick... That did the trick activating the tangent plane first. I knew I had accomplished this in the past, just kept banging my head against the wall trying to remember what it was I was doing wrong. Could not see the forest for the woods....

I know I have done this with success in the past, but I can not get it to work now. I guess I have got a case of the “DA’s” today or something. Can some one please point me in the correct direction to accomplish what I need? I have a cylindrical part that I need to place a tapped hole in for a...

Actually I think you can customize the way the hole call out shows up and still have it linked to the part. Try editing the calloutformat.txt file under your SolidWorks directory. But what you may be looking for is right click the hole dimensions and select display options and select define...

One other thing I just thought about.... Do not know how much of a bearing this has on anything. Maybe someone could verify this fo us... But when you updated to SP3.1 did you upgrade your toolbox as well? I know I did not do the toolbox upgrade on SP3.1.. But I did make a point to do this with...

I was getting these errors as well under SP3.1 but since updating to SP4.0 they seem to have been resolved. But then again I can't recall doing very many smart fastners since the update... One thing I did see that could cuase this problem from time to time is if you edit the surface the...

Thats true Scott, I forgot if auto relations is not turned on there will be no telling what you get... [bigcheeks]

When you go to sketch a line in SW it will indicate if you are vertical or horizontal with a “V” or an “H”. It is hard to visually tell when you are correct without this due to the fact you are working in a 3D environment and therefore what you perceive to be vertical or horizontal may in fact...

That was exactly what I suggest this person do, create the assembly and go from there. But I was hoping there may be a different way to accomplish the same thing more effeciently. I also told them they could try to copy and paste the sketches from one part to the other.

I have a question that was presented to me a few moments ago. Lets say for example I have a situation come up were two different people are working on the same part but different file name. And we like the ideas both people have about different interacting designs. What would be the most...

One more question for you SCott since I have your attention.. LOL I was thinking of going to SP4 since this problem has come up. But I have one of my co-workers here that is telling me we can't upgrade one system to SP4 because it would not be compatible with the other stations we have. You I...

Thanks Scott... I really did not get the SP just have the latest and greatest... IS had to reconfigure my system the other week and in the proccess hosed SW and when they went to reinstall it SP3.1 was all they could get a hold of. Well that is what they told me anyway. I know what you are...

I have been having the same problem since upgrading to SP3.1.. But sometimes when I do the move/rotate, mate commands back to back the system hangs and then crashes. I checked the temporary directories, but I found nothing there. Also I deleted the $ files as well, which did not help either...

While we are talking about explorer, maybe someone can help me out with something one of my co-workers ran into. He cna not open any files in SWExplorer,he keeps getting the message that the e-drawing data is not saved with the file. But, there always seems to be a but in there somewhere, if I...

Does anyone know if there is a location if any, that you can download customized materials for photoworks. Thanks

Nevermind, I figured out what I was doing wrong... DUH!!! I had to uncheck NORMAL CUT when I did my cut extrude...

Ok, Maybe I have been staring at this SolidWorks screen to long or something. But I have a round pipe I need to mate to a hole cut out through a tapered surface. How do I accomplish this? The only mates it will give me are tangent and parallel. Here is how I created the cut out: I created a...
