Well i thought that may be the case so i cut the drawing down to a smaller section of it that is in fact only 299mm at its longest part and that made the same error??
I am trying to import a DWG file but i get the error "xxxx points were out of the modelling limit" What is the modelling limit? How do i change this? i'm stuck because the Solidworks Help is not clear. I am using Solidworks 2007
I am an AutoCAD user, but have been modelling in Solidworks for a while now. I'm wanting to start using the Drawing side of solidworks but first i need to set up company drawing templates/sheets.
I have company drawing templates for AutoCAD? Is it possible to transfer these to Solidworks? If...
I've managed to render the animation using Solidworks Realview graphics, still looks the part. But when the animation is going through its transparency phase, the materials seem to detach themselves when the item returns to opaque, and i'm left with the parts with the default material. Anyway to...
I'm trying to get a part to go transparent in an animation, i know how to do this but when i render the animation using photoworks the transparency does not show? Is there any way to do this whilst using photoworks?
I believe you can do this by selecting use Solidworks Materials in the options...
Thanks handleman, that works superbly. Here's a question though, would it be possible to control the different distances/heights of the corners in a design table or such?
I am trying to locate part, which is a rectangular plate, in solidworks 2006 but i'm having problems. The plates 4 corners are labelled A,B,C,D.
Taking A as the origin i am trying position the plate so that

Point C is 11mm below A
Point D is 3mm above A
I started by...
I currently doing an animation using animator and it involves parts appearing from transparent. But i was wondering, when you actually have parts transparent is there anyway of removing the black outlines/edges when transparency is applied?
Thanks everyone for your help. From what everyone says i think its gonna be best to stick with photoworks and animator. I'm currently using solidworks 2003 SP0, but were getting a seat of Solidworks 2005 next week. So i'm assuming that the interface and the whole package of photoworks and...
i was actually thinking of something along the lines of a package or software which opens soldiworks parts or assemblies to animate outside of the whole solidworks interface. Or am i just dreaming here and such a package doesnt exist?
Has anyone used simulator for solidworks?
I am having all sorts of problems with Solidworks animator and was wondering if there are any software packages out there which can create animations and renders outside of the solidworks package.
I hear of software such as Renderman and Mentalray? But dont know any info about them and would...
thanks scott, that seems to have sorted out the animation when if comes to using the solidworks screen, but when i have placed the screen at a lower res the photoworks output still will not show the moving parts. Could it be the codec i am using or is it a bug? What would you recommend using...
Trying to record an animation which involves exploded steps and camera pans/zooms. When recording the animation, with the solidworks screen output, the finished avi plays the camera pans and zooms but when it comes to the parts moving the screen goes completely blank.
Recording the same...
