My problem is that it is not suppressing when the parent is suppressed.So in other words the part gets suppressed, now there is an explode line that goes off into basically nothing. I could deal with this if I could find the sketch for the Exploded Line to put in my design table for controling...
Explode Line Sketch.
When a part is suppressed, why isn’t the Exploded line sketch associated with that part also suppressed? I am creating a master exploded assembly file that suppresses and unsuppressed parts based on inputs selected in the design table. We have so many different combinations...
My video card is an NVIDIA QUADRO 4 750 XGL 128 MB I checked the SW website and its driver version is current. When you double click on your table in the drawing, are you editing the table within SW instead of launching Excel? If I double click on the table I am launching Excel, reguardless of...
I inserted an excel object from a file into a drawing. I always seem to have a problem showing the columns that I want it to display. I have tried editing the excel table with the worksheet, and resetting the print area. I have right clicked on the table and tried reset size. Has anyone had this...

Scott,
Thank you for your suggestions, all those things I tried already and I still get an empty file. As far as the mdt translator the files are dumb solids and mdt translator won't work on them. Any other suggestions?

I have blocks that I want to attach to a hole on a view, those blocks need to follow the view when I move it, they also need to stay exactly where I put them on the view. Any suggestions?
ARE THERE ANY EX-ACAD USERS WHO ARE NOW SOLIDWORKS EXPERTS WHO CAN OFFER ANY INFORMATION ON HOW I WOULD FIT TEXT INTO AN AREA?
