    Rotating Assembly in SW Motion Centering?

    Hi, Pardon me if this question has been already answered but I want to rotate an assembly in SW Motion about the Y axis. When I do it, the assembly does not stay centered because the origin is not in the center of the assembly itself. I tried moving the assembly to the origin but it never...

    Solidworks Piston Engine Model

    Do any of you know where I could obtain for free or for purchase a Solidworks model (sldasm) of a modern piston engine V8 or otherwise? The recent Solidworks ads show one that is very interesting (see attached). I am looking for one that is representative with lots of detail (cam, accessories...

    Print 1:1 scale - multiple pages

    Howdy SW fans! I am trying to print out a part that is 18" tall (1:1 scale) - i would like to print it on two pages and tape the pages together. I have not been able to find a way to get SW to print the part on two pages. It just wants to print the center of the part on one page leaving...

    PhotoWorks 2 Release

    I have upgraded to SW 3.1 and Photoworks 2.0. When I try to select a scene or materials I am given only the default choice for each. The scenes and meterials are in the folders in the PhotoWork folder but PW does not allow me to see of select any of them? Any ideas? Thanks, Bill

    Service Paks

    I just loaded SP3.0 and animation performance (using add-in) MotionWorks slowed to an unacceptable crawl. I reverted back to rev 2.1 and it works much faster. Any other users having 3.0 performance issues - any ideas? Thanks, Bill

    Components that 'jump' inside other components...

    I have notice in certain instances that when I rotate a constrained part in an assembly, that it has the tendency to flip over and jump inside another part. To recover, I must remove mates -- pull the part out and reset the mates. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? I can not...

    Physical Dynamics 2001Plus

    Is it possible to make animations using physical dynamics? When I create path points by dragging components using physical dynamics, they do not 'replay' when recording an AVI file. Thanks for any help!

    Plotting a derivative sketch from a part's motion

    Help! I am trying to design a case based on the motion of one the parts inside. The part revolves in an irregular circular motion and I need to derive a sketch of the path of motion to use to make a case. Any ides how to make a SW 2D sketch from the motion path of a part? Many thanks...Bill
