Hit your number lock key. I knew it had to be something simple stupid.

When I throw a dimension on the part, the equation window pops up. How do I toggle that off to where I can just edit the dimension? Thanks! Mike

Ok, I was able to accomplish this with all of your help. Thanks so much! Mike

I'm trying to populate my titleblock with information from the part model file in the "Custom Properties" Tab. Can anyone help explain how you do that? The "Help" isn't any help. Thanks! Mike

takedown, Thanks for the tip, but I'm having a hard time finding where you can change the detail shape in document properties. Can you steer me in the right direction? Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. One more question, I've got my rectangle detail window, I put it on a layer to control the linetype and line weight, is there a way to save that to the document properties or incorporate that as the standard so that creating future detail views use those same settings?

Thanks, I got it. I appreciate your help. ;o) Mike

Ok, "the catch is that you have to have a segment of the sketch selected when you exit" worked. So I thank you for that. What it didn't do is change the detail view circle on the parent view. Is it possible to change that or at least hide it and stick a rectangle detail block over the top of it?

Thanks Grant, I tried your suggestion and I'm not having any luck. To select "Connected" and then "Profile" isn't an option. "Profile" is grayed out no matter what "Style" I choose. I tried to edit the profile and create a rectangle scetch but when I click on the green check, it goes back...

I'm trying to convert from AutoCAD to Solidworks. All our current detail views are rectangle because they're created in a viewport which is rectangle. How can I change Solidworks detail view circle to a rectangle? Is it even possible? Thanks!

Thanks Trevor!

Can anyone help me, another engineer and myself are working on a project together and he stayed last night to work on the models and when I came in this morning to open the file, I got a message saying "Undexpected File Format". These files will not open and I know they're not backed up. Are...

Ok, I figured it out. Was looking for a command icon and there isn't any, they stuck it on a tab when you click "Smart Dimension". UI Problem solved. :0)

Where did my autodim command go in Solidworks 2008?

Thanks for the reply, I tried to copy the parts list and got this message: "Cannot copy parts lists when the UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST variable is on. To copy parts lists, set this variable to 0." I'm not sure how to do this.

I have plan views on different sheets that I want to create detail balloons for. NX will only let me have balloons on one sheet. How can I get around this without placing individual balloons? Thanks! Mike

Thanks John!

I am working with an NX4 assembly and I've chosen to make a part my "work part". I would like to put tapped holes in this "work part" and locate them by referencing the counterbored holes in a mating part. Is this possible? Thanks!
