SW08 SP1.0
Anti-virus: only a scheduled scan once a wk.
RAM used: 584MB used w/o SW, 1G used w/SW
3GB switch: no, have heard of it, how to turn on?
No other apps, 38 processes but no hogs to shut down I know of.
Network: no, but backups are saved to server
Desktop search: yes. I shut it down and...
What should have taken 1 hour took 5 hrs this morning.
It takes 1-5 minutes to edit 1 cell in BOM, or regen, or save.
I have a dwg with 9,000 kb model size, dwg is 18,000 kb.
11 sheets of 11x17 size paper
Each sheet has 2-6 views/details on it.
I have Auto view update unchecked.
Also have gone...
Salmon2 - thank you, if I stay with a carbon steel I'll ask if they have 4130.
metengr - yes it will have impact loading, but the impact shear load will only be about 9,000 lb versus the rating of 21,000 lb for this particular 1/2" dia pin. UTS approx 110kpsi.
I want to use a 1/2" dia pin in shear at -49F but am concerned about it being brittle at -49F.
Are there cold temp tensile & impact properties avail somewhere?
I am considering just making my own pins from A479-XM19 stainless if I can't use these off the shelf pins from Driv-Lok.com. I...
Appreciate ya'lls time. For ref: We make custom engineered dampers and expansion joints for piping/ducting systems.
Single BOM: I agree, this is what I'll propose
Separate BOM: Will consider send that to purchasing
Separate sub-assy dwgs: we will consider however... We use the dwg like...
Stugots - glad it helped, it would link the VIEW on sheet2 to a bom on sheet1.
Chris - thanks for your thoughts. we have 1 dwg with 17 pages. It is 1 assy that requires lots of views (lots of pages). Although some sheets are sub assys, most sheets are different portions of the same assy...
Thank you Tate that's what we've been doing but of coarse it is not a smooth process.
I wonder if this has already been requested as an enhancement. I'll check and post the reply.

I do not have configurations of the assy, but might in the future.
BOM on 1 page eliminates the issue, but we have dwgs with 17 sheets and want to have the applicable BOM items show on each sheet. We don't want to give that up if SW has a way to keep it organized.
It is not practical for us...
On sheet one I rearrange the BOM order (move items up/down).
How can I get the same BOM order on sheet 2?
I can get the item bubbles on sheet 2 to match BOM on sheet 1, but the BOM itself is not rearranged like the BOM on sheet 1.
To get bubbles to match on page 2:
On sheet 2, Rt click a view...
No I don't need a perfect model. Yes I have the outline dwgs. Just trying to save time. We're busy on other stuff but will build it ourself.
Thank you,
Dee
Need a 3d model of a Electric damper drive, made by Harold Beck & Sons, model 400. I called them and they have Solidworks models for newer assys but not this one.
Thank you,
Dee
I have saved an E size drawing as .pdf
When printing as E size it prints perfect.
Problem: If I print it as C size some lines become hidden or disappear.
Thank you,
Dee
