Gentleman, 1. Is there a way to link text and a sketch box around the text together, so they move together? 2. Can I then intern dimension to the text? 3. Can I dimension a block of multiple entities as one whole unit to move and place in a drawing together with an overall X, Y placement...

I did think of doing this... I was hoping to link these with out having to do this... Thanks I will keep this in my back pocket...

Eric, Thanks. However, you can only add attachments to non-solidworks entities. I am "converting" the CAD KEY prints to a .DWG or .sldrw first so I can edit them, if need be, in a Solid works environment. We are trying to phase out CAD KEY. This "conversion" make them a solid works entity...

This is exactly my question??? How to accomplish this?? I have been at this for most of the afternoon...

Gentlemen, I am looking for a way to link imported CADKEY "dumb" prints to "new" solid models of the same parts created in Solidworks, so the dumb print will follow and be linked to the "new" solid model in PDM. I do not need the dumb print to change with the model, these are old prints and...

The material is annealed...We are having good luck with increased feedrates...The theoreticals for chip loading are working out pretty close to what we are seeing at the machine...

Can anyone suggest "from experience" a good 1/4 to 3/8 roughing end mill to machine 17-4 PH SS??? I recieved a couple of GARR VRX series (latest and greatest) tools that did not work as advertised. The tool is wearing very, very quickly and building up chips very fast. These two things are kind...

excellent that works great!!!!!

I can not seem to be able to put individual feature sketches onto a layer. I am trying to do this so I can use my sketches as tool paths for CNC programming. I can put all solid geometry on layers, turn them off, and "show" the sketch, this works but doesn't seem to be the best way to do it...

Once you place a dimension, you can alter what it is "measuring" by moving the mouse off center give it a try and you will see what happens. Your diameter question, right click on the dimension, and you have the option to change it from radius to diameter, to linear...

Thank you....Figured it out right after I sent email How about turning off the grid so it doesn't appear when you start a sketch...

I have a real newbie question here: Where/how do I setup solidworks to automatically give me the change dimension dialog box immediately after I create a dimension,instead of having to double click the dimension to change it? Having a brian block, thanks for the help...

I share your feeling about PDM works... This would not be in the place of PDM.This VANTAGE software would be in addition to it. It is more for scheduling,costing jobs, and inventory type things...It would use PDM for BOM info when building up assembly and shop orders, routes, etc...

My company is in the middle of updating our PLM software to Vantage. Currently we have a few non linked systems to do BOM,Routes, Cost role up, etc... Does anyone have any experience with "exporting"/linking Solidworks information (drawing information mostly) to a PLM software of this type...

My IT guy just came in and is updating the vault...Thanks...

My admin has updated Solidworks with the SP2.1, now we are unable to login or access PDM??? A message appears that the user version is nwer than the vault version, and no PDM update is available?!?! Has anyone run into this, and how do I fix this???

Sure Did, Thanks for the heads up though....

My driver version went back to 2003??? I updated it, and hopefully this will fix my problem...I am running an ATI FireGL x2 card... As usaul thank you for the input!!!

Have you guys found 2006 to be stable. The software crashed on me at least 5 times daily...It always seems to happen when I am changing component angles and component configurations within an assembly(rather simple things).

I have had my models completely disappear, and not able to see them at all when I have a mate error in 2006...Never happened until we "upgraded" to 2006...Seriuos pain in the @#$!%
