    Deleting multiple leaders?

    nevermind. got it...just didn't search enough places... I usually go to the SW help first, then here, then to comp.cad.solidworks (via google) then to the SW forum. If you select the note close to the arrow tip, it selects just that leader, not the whole note. Now how hard would it be to add...

    Deleting multiple leaders?

    Is there anyway to delete multiple leaders in a note? (i.e. I have three, but only want two). I see its easy to create them, but see no way to easily delete them.

    image quality save?

    yup, tried the "save" immediately after making the change SW2006 Sp2.1 (can't update due to the "insert CD2" snafu Nvidia Quadro FX3400

    image quality save?

    is there anyway to "save" the image quality? If I set the slider to high, then do anything to the part (i.e. zoom in or out) the image quality goes back to low.

    SWCP3 and SW2006?

    I spoke to him a day or so ago.. he is aware of the problem, but no ETA on a fix...<keeping fingers crossed>

    SWCP3 and SW2006?

    been there, done that...no response, not even a t-shirt

    SWCP3 and SW2006?

    Anyone using SWCP3 and SolidWorks 2006? I can run the program in one part and it works fine...but running it in a second part crashes SW...

    sheet metal - flat patterns

    oh sure...you try to tell them to change... [noevil] "we've always done it this way" is a common refrain...

    sheet metal - flat patterns

    i got it to work as well...is there anyway to show the bend lines as well?

    sheet metal - flat patterns

    The sheetmetal guys here are looking for a flat pattern that shows basically the tangent edges of each bend...I can give them the bend line, which appears to be the centerline of the bend...they can manually add the offset lines, but is there a way to get SW to show these? SW 2005 SP3.1 -->...

    can't create distance mate face to plane in assembly?

    - to constrain a rectangular object to another rectangular object requires 3 contraints...in this case the distance mate is the first, followed by 2 other mates to control it in all 3 directions...I can do the distance mate to another component, but not to a created plane. - only the first...

    can't create distance mate face to plane in assembly?

    I've created a few planes in an assembly, and I want to have a face of a component "X" distance away from the plane...if I enter the distance, SW says I've over defined it. If I let it ride (accept the default distance, rebuild), the "what's wrong" says "planar face and plane are not the correct...

    Animator 2005?

    anyone used this and understand it yet? I had this nailed down in older versions, but the 2005 version escapes me...

    hole wizard leader/text gap?

    update 3...the <DIM> appears to be a placeholder for a tolerance...the gap only appears when the leader tail is to the right of the text...so its holding a space for the tolerance, even tho there is no tolerance in this situation... SW 2005 0.1

    hole wizard leader/text gap?

    news update... the actual text of the note read as such: <NUM_INST>X <MOD-DIAM> <hw-diam> <hw-thru> <dim> What is the <dim> for at the end? Removing it solves the problem, but why is it there? The calloutformat.txt file appears to be correct...

    hole wizard leader/text gap?

    Is there any way to change the gap between the end of a leader and the leader text when using hole wizard callouts? The gap is unusually large.

    Dimension previews

    sorry, should have been more clear...this occurs in drawings...create a dim from line to line, select first line, you now have the dim value centered on your mouse cursor...

    Dimension previews

    Is there some way to turn off dimension previews? When creating a dimension, say between two lines, the previewed dimension value is shown at the cursor location, which often makes it difficult to make the second selection. thanks!
