    Column Width in SW BOM's

    Using SW 2004 and its SW's driven BOM. Is there a way to get the column width narrower. I see how once the BOM is in the drawing, you can clic on one of the edges of the column you can drag the width a little. But there is still quite a bit of empty space between the column edge and the letters...

    Pipe Dimension

    Side view meaning the length..............Dont want to draw centerlines..........I know drawing a centerline only takes a second, but we are trying to convince our piping team to switch from Autocad to SW's.......AutoCad will allow you snap to the center of the circle while looking at the length...

    Pipe Dimension

    I knew you can draw a centerline .........but we are trying to convince a few holdouts here at work who use AutoCad.........And AC has snap center function, even from the side view...........Was wondering if SW's has a similar feature

    AutoCad 2004 to SW 2004

    the default part template in SW is correct......In Autocad there is no options when you export. We just figured out Autocad must have left something out because a guy that works here has Autocad 2002 and it prompts him how to export it.......

    AutoCad 2004 to SW 2004

    Hows it going? Trying to convert AutoCad 2004 solids to SW2004 using an .SAT file. It all works well, except it converts it from inches to milimeters. Not changing the amount of the length number just the unit. Example. Drew something 80 inches in Autocad. Comes into SW as 80 mm. Any ideas...
