jdsmi, You mean MasterCAM X?

Cavertodd, Our company are using MasterCam v9.0 with SolidWorks. The Exportation SolidWorks - Mastercam with PARASOLID is perfect. MasterCam recognizes a lot of geometry, surfaces, solids. Much better than SolidWorks and Pro-E. It´s one of the most confiable CAM softwares. Perhaps you could...

Experiences with our clients reports: - SW 2003 is 30% slower than SW 2001+. - The hardware is the same, the operational system is the same. Why SW 2003 get slower??? I hope someone could explain to me... Timoteo

Hi guys, "Split Dimensions" in Drawings are gone. Perhaps the new version of SW made this functin easilly! Wait a little more and the you´ll see "Perfect Dimensions" in drawings. About the automatic centerlines and centermarks, in SW 2001+ only with API. But, the next...

Hi, Just use Ctrl + C to copy the picture and Ctrl + V to paste it in the drawing. It's easier and works very well. I hope it can helps. MHendler

In addition to the answer gaven by madmango: Perhaps you could create a mirrored component, in the field: "Insert, Mirroreds Components". Then, try to reconstruct it with the option "Recreate Mates". This would create a copyied component, not a mirrored component. My best...

If I understood your question: Unfortunately you can´t add nested (derived) configuration using Design Tables or API. The only choice you have is add manualy a derived configuration through the configuration manager. Hope that helps.

SWBRAZIL, I don´t understood your question. Please "rebuild" your thread. Thank´s.

Geometry Pattern works fine. I made a lot of examples, and always work fine. BBJT made a simplified example, but explain the theory of geometry pattern. "Each instance is an exact copy of the faces and edges of the original feature". Hope that helps.

Jack, Why you dont use the models of aluminum treadplate of SW? Then you can set the right scale. Althoug, if you want to export the picture, try to change the scale when you export it. Inside the SW, you can´t do that. Only with the SW´s defaults. My preference is try to use the defaults of...

Adrian, Are you working with assembly or part? I think it is assembly. Well, first of all, if you know the distance that the pin stick out of the bushing, place an distance mate. Second, if you make the 2 parts by the same process (mid-plane), then use smart mates to positioning them together...

I forget to say. In the tab "Displacement", you must choose first "Style" and select some option. Then, select the correct scale. Thanks.

I dont understand very well your question. I´ll split it in 2. First- You must not give the scale for your picture. It apply perfect in the perfect scale to your part. Second- You took the image of polished aluminum treadplate to a plate. It is not in the correct scale because it´s not...

Scott is right. SW Toolbox is perfect for your application. Smart Fasteners is perfect for this. Use it! If you dont have yet, buy it! You can write a macro too, but this is much more complicaded. Hope that helps. PS: Hey Scott, I saw your page. It is very cool. I take one or two parts and...

I work for a Reseller Company of SW in Brazil. Our clients use a lot E-drawings. For example: Our client must send files to a company that got none software CAD, but they realy need watch to the files. E-drawings is very usefull to my company and for our clients. Hope that helps...

Madmango is right. What you have to do, is get a 30-day trail use to know each software. The choice will depends of your real need for this moment.

Solidworks doesn´t do that. You cannot convert a spline to points, or join points to a spline. What you can do is enter with programming. Make a search in the net for macros. I hope that helps.

Dear Simon, SolidWorks is the best CAD (except CATIA, PRO-E, UG). You cannot make the option for Inventor R5. If you choose Inventor, you will buy SW soon or later in the future. Of course Inventor R5 have some qualities, but not compare with SW. Choose the right thing, choose SW!

You can´t save a profile for options. Solidworks save the defaults only in the "System Options". Everytime when you initialize SW, it load the settings for you. For Document Properties, you can´t save a profile, SW does not do that. You can save the template and then load it. Best...
