Where did I say you can't get a drawing??? Think you will find I said it will require some manual work to get the drawing. I.E. Save_as and update references!! And what do YOU mean DriveWorks does not really automatically do it for you. Ofcourse it does, I use it all the time. Yes, I set my...

Although Design Tables and Top Down modelling will do the job, it will still require some manual work to produce the 2D shop drawings for the parts. DriveWorksXpress will give you the drawings for each part, and although the drawings may require the scale to be modified and view positions moved...

Also you will not be able to create individual drawings from the design tables. You will need to open the drawing and swap the component for the configuration required for each one. Very time consuming if you have many configurations. If you have SW2008 or later DriveWorksXpress will allow you...

I use driveworksxpress. But I do need to do a little more than just save_as. For example I need many custom properties propagating with new values, there are also a few dimesnions that I want to change. Each time a need a new part with drawing i just fire up the driveworksxpress wizard - eneter...

Hi Dave I cannot see any reason DriveWorksXpress will not allow you to do that. May be worth you posting your question on www.driveworksxpress.com you will find a forum there. Lucas

Hi Chris If you go to http://www.driveworksxpress.com//index.php/Industry-Examples/Furniture-Industry.html You can download the files to allow you to configure your own in DriveWorksXpress. Hope it helps. Lucas SolidWorks 2008 SP3

Hi Craig If its machine code you need you need to be looking at a CAM package that will take a model and prodcue NC code directly from it - or from a DXF file. Sorry I could not help more. Lucas

Hi There is a media file that can be downloaded from the DriveWorks homepage. I've had a look and it does give you a handle on how to use and where to start. Its worth taking a look. www.driveworks.co.uk Lucas

I sent the guys at DriveWorks an email (support@driveworks.co.uk) asking for help for a quick start up. Within an hour I had a reply pointing me in the direction of movie files, powerpoints, completed examples and partially completed examples. A couple of hours later we had a good understanding...

Not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve - but if its driving your SolidWorks parts and assemblies from this input form I strongly advise you to try DriveWorksXpress. There is a free offer of this with every SolidWorks 2006 renewal or purchase.

Take a look at DriveWorks ( www.driveworks.co.uk )

I take it the part is being driven by a design table? If so simple formulas can be applied to the corresponding cells in the design table. First of all there are a few values we know about... MnimumHoleDistFromEnd=50mm HolePitch=100mm Next there are dimensions that need to be driven by the...

Racerxxx Don't want to sound like a salesman here but I know of an add-in that could possibly help you. In effect this acts as a design table but allows you to control many more parameters than you require across your parts or even entire assemblies. It also allows for much more complex and...

As far as I am aware this cannot be done in 2001+. But it definitely can be done in 2003 - so hang in there.

macPT Do you think its worth requesting the ability to control mass property info in configurations as an enhancement? By the way TateJ's method got me around what I was needing to do - thanks.

We have the same components manufactured from a wide variety of materials - I need to be able to switch between configurations and have SolidWorks calculate the mass properties. I tried the string you suggested in a design table but this did not have the desired effect. The design table just...

Can anybody help me to create configuration specific densities? Would appreciate any assistance anyone could give. I am using 2003.

I have hundreds of SolidWorks parts that require approximately 40 identical custom properties adding to each of them. I intend to write the values of these custom properties via a design table. Does anybody know of an easier way to create the custom properties than to open each part and...
