    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    I understand that there is and should be a standard for multiple sheets. But doesnt that standard pertain to addtional sheets needed to complete a print of one compenent? Using the hammer illustration, if you detailed the handle in one file (handle.slddrw) and the head in another file...

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    I may need to consider doing it that way. It appears that everyone else does. When I started using swx it just seemed reasonble to put all of my drawings for each project in one drawing file and I have been doing it that way ever since. Is it really a standard though, or a preference?

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    You mean draw the revision on the border each time?

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    Well, the first time it worked, I tried to add a revision to sheet 2 and the revision showed up on sheet 1. But I havent been able to reproduce that error. So I may have misunderstood what really happened. The table is working fine now. I just have to adjust the height of the cells. For some...

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    That was it! I flipped the title to the top and it works now. It does not allow additional revisions without affecting sheet 1 but I can work with it from here. Thanks.

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    I did a search and only have 3 .sldrevtbt files. The 2 installed with swx (no zone and standard), and my customized file. I guess I will have to start using the pre-release 07 if I want to use the customized on every sheet. Thanks...

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    OLID: Yes I get that same dialogue and I choose my table. ctopher: I realize why SWX tries to follow standards. And I think it is a good thing in general. However, I would like the option to deviate from any standard when I think it would benefit productivity.

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    I tried inserting the custom table on sheet 3 first thing from a new document and still get the generic boxy table. I tried it with my custom template and the default swx template but the same thing. If you can do it, and it sounds like OLID can, then I probably have a setting set wrong somehwere.

    Cannot copy. I get the message "item on clipboard cannot be pasted here". sp4.1

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    CBL: That is correct. I can insert my custom table on sheet 1 but not on sheet 2. In fact, when I insert the table on sheet 1, then re-order the two sheets (drag tabs so that sheet 2 becomes sheet 1) then I can insert the custom table on what was sheet 2. So apparently SWX is trying to...

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    I dont mind editing the text. But the table itself is not the custom table I created. (the one I just inserted the sheet before) The cells are different sizes and there is one extra row.

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    OLID: Yes I will just have to modify the tabel each time. Although, I was wanting to use the table I created myself. Thanks all.

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    I'm no expert when it comes to standards. But it seems to me that if you were designing a hammer (just for example), the first sheet would be the assemlby, the second would be the head, and the third would be the handle. The head and the handle should have their own revision tables to track...

    Rev Table In The Sheet Format

    I usually have around 20-30 sheets per design. I need each sheet to have it's own revision table. When I insert the rev table on the first sheet everything is fine. But then I try to insert the rev table on sheet2, a generic table comes in with the words "see sheet1". Actually, I would like the...

    Drawing File Doubled

    As I researched UNGRAG I also read about EcoSqueeze and decided to use the Eco. It seems to be working. I am thinking about setting it up on a schedule or task to run it regularly on certain directories. Is anyone doing that? Any known problems? Thanks so much. I have learned at least 80% of...

    Drawing File Doubled

    I am using swx06 sp4.1. I do have excel being used for configuration tables. But this is the first time I have run into this. I have tried the "save as" and then rename and that seem to reduce the file but only a little. The file should only be about 10-20mb. The "save as" will reduce it to...

    Drawing File Doubled

    I added a few 1/4-18 water lines to one component. BTW: I pulled the smaller file from backup. But everytime I save it grows by about 10mb.

    Drawing File Doubled

    On Friday my drawing file was 55mb. Then saturday morning, after only a few changes, I tried to save the drawing and it took about 10mins. The file size had now almost doubled to 97mb. I have searched this site and found some info but no solid fix. (save as copy is temporary) Any suggestions...
