I've made something similar...a hole drill that serves the same purpose. I made the tool, and use sheetmetal 1.75" thick to represent the 2 x 4.

Like having a hammer and screwdriver in the same assembly, showing just the hammer in one configuration and showing just the screwdriver in the other? Yes.

Cross-brake is not a "real" feature, like flange. It is only a sketch that allows you to dimension, etc... on the fabrication drawings. If you actually want to show it correctly, or truely represent the fabricated part you have to make "tool" to "stamp" the part. It's just much faster to say...

I have hand drawn mechanical drawings in the late 80's, moved to Auto-Cad in the early 90's, and finally to Solidworks in '09 and I agree with your husband. Every part gets it's own P/N and drawing. Assemblies have their own drawing with a BOM listed on the very first sheet.

"He" is a co-worker. Thanks for the link....

What's the best way to save a SWx Model so it can be rendered in Google SketchUp Pro? He says that 3D PDF only works in the MAC version.

I think it really depends on what you're doing. It sounds as if you are designing and engineering a project. Modeling or drawing an old part/assembly is one thing, but if you are designing/engineering and you are a PE, you can charge more....be aware of future liability issues though, especially...

I think you need Acrobat Reader Version 7.0.7 at the very least.

I've been running SW 2010 x 64-bit OS on Win7 Pro for about 3 months without any problems.

JM, he says he modeled a quarter.

RM .50 x1.0 RM = Mean Radius I believe the [.50 x1.0] is the dimension of an obround - due to fillet bisecting and propagating around the hole, effectively becoming obround.

Yeah, that would take me another month.....LOL!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh............got it!I hardly ever use the "Drawing Annotation View" so I never have it checked. Thanks for the help!!!!!

Solidworks Premium 2010, SP3.1 I have around 30 configurations for my assembly which is about 200 MB. I am putting together assembly views for a manual and have around 10 Section Views I would like to import into my drawings....for the shop. Is there any way to import a section view...

I just had this problem, literally an hour ago with a pretty large assembly. Normally I work from the H:\drive and either create parts on it or pull parts from our shared X:\drive. I'm not sure exactly what was happening, but I finally did a "save as" to my C:\drive then shut the program down. I...
