    Update Holders

    "To add to that, all they really are to my knowledge, are a helpful way to see all the in-context relationships in an assembly without having to dig into every part to see what feature references what." I see. That makes sense. Thanks.

    Update Holders

    Can someone give me a real world example of what I would use Update Holders for. I've read the Solidworks help on them and I still don't see how Update Holders can help me or what their practical use is.

    Insert Model Items problem

    >A simple test can be perfomed by manually adding a dimension in >your drawing view of a feature you have already controlled with a >dimension in its feature sketch Adding a manual dimension works perfectly. It's when I try and use Model Items that I have a problem and no dimensions are added.

    Insert Model Items problem
