Nella95 No, I attempted to just pick the table, EDIT/COPY, goto 2nd sheet and "EDIT/PASTE". I get an error "The item on the clipboard cannot be pasted here" Are you suggesting I do this through custom properties?

Sorry for the type-O!

I'm looking for the best way to add a rev table to additional sheets of a drawing, that matches the rev table on the first sheet. I tried copying, no luck...What we are doing now is adding the rev table to the 2nd, 3rd, etc... sheets then manually populating them. Any suggestions? Yeah..Yeah..I...

ewh & ctopher, I agree with you, I feel like I've taken a step back in time. The questions is getting up with the times and how to drive that change. Training is definetly the answer but is not always feasible (for a number of reasons). First, to train I need funds. To get funds I need an...

Thanks for all of your quick responses. Good points in all of them. A few things I need to clarify. 1. All though brought up and trained a certain way, I'm not at all interested imposing my beliefs, just influencing so that the solution makes sense. I'm not at all interested in creating extra...

Thanks NHPilot! If it were a snake it would of bit me. Sometime you just need a slap in the face.

Is there a way to place a centermark at the center of an obround slot/hole and not at the ends of the slot were the arc centers are? Thanks,

Its a long story, but I know what you mean. Based on our customers process the we have a given k-factor for a 90deg bend. We have some customers that spec bend allowance and bend deduction. I'm only using as a check system. Its seems to be the one factor I can't link to.

I'm looking for a way to link data from a sheetmetal part, on to the drawing. I'm currently linking material thickness, inside bend radius and would like to list BA, BD, or K-factor. I do this for helping me check my parts to ensure parts meet customer standards. I'm having trouble with linking...

Is there a way to specify or flip the direction of a plane in swx? The reason I ask is I created a library feature that I place on a plane and extrude up to next (the feature is a simple, round boss). If I place the feature on the "top" plane I get an error (“Unable to create library feature...

Is there an easy way in SWX to copy parts that have been split and have the parts reference the new copies. I'm creating a housing with top and bottom sections, each half having an interior and exterior cover. In all I have 7 part files. One is the original design, the 2nd and 3rd parts are...
