    Circular Pattern of Assembly Features

    Thanks alot!! Worked like a charm. That one bugged me for a while, so I was avoiding it. Doesn't make sense to have the feature scope in the hole wizard feature. Captain Caveman Almex Industries,Parry Sound ON.Canada\ SW2009,SP 3.0 Intel Core2 Quad Q9650P4 3.0 Ghz Quadro FX1700,6,142 MB Ram

    Circular Pattern of Assembly Features

    I have an assembly that I have put a Hole Wizard feature of 6 (1/2" NPT) holes in one side of the assembly. I then tried to use an assembly feature circular pattern to revolve these holes onto the other side. The holes show up in the preview function while creating the pattern, but disappear as...

    Toolbox question

    We currently use toolbox in a multi environment, but I have noticed with 2008 that our descriptions of fasteners.i.e.(driven length) will not work properly now.Custom properties. My question is regarding how to use the box. I was reading a Matt Lombard toolbox article and he suggests that a...

    Toolbox Description not showing in BOM

    Yes the common toolbox location on the network drive was repointed. Did a little reading on the SW site and it seems there are a few SPR that bear resemblance to this issue still unresolved. Captain Caveman Almex Industries,Parry Sound ON.Canada\ SW2008,SP 0.0 Intel P4 3.0 Ghz,Quadro FX500,1...

    Toolbox Description not showing in BOM

    We use a specific BOM that uses Item,Quantity,partnum(custom property),and partdescription(custom property). In SW 2007 the toolbox parts used to come into the BOM just fine but now all I get from 2008 is blank entries in my BOM. Anyone else have this problem? Captain Caveman Almex...

    BOM CONVERSION WRONG FOR SW2008

    Sorry about the caps lock. I am more of a listener than an internet talker. I only type out when I am in need of help. Captain Caveman Almex Industries,Parry Sound ON.Canada\ SW2007,SP 4.0 Intel P4 3.0 Ghz,Quadro FX500,1 Gig Ram

    BOM CONVERSION WRONG FOR SW2008

    WHEN I OPEN UP A DRAWING FROM SW2007 SP4 THE BOM ENTRIES INCREASED DRAMATICALLY - (EG. FROM 24 ITEMS TO 75). THE CHECK BOX FOR THE SUBASSEMBLIES IS NOT BEING CONVERTED PROPERLY. I AM A FAN OF USING THE "DO NOT SHOW CHILD COMPS WHEN USED AS A SUBASSY." BUT IT SEEMS THAT SW2008 IS UNCHECKING EVERY...

    Realview greyed out SW2007 sp4

    My thoughts exactly. I was rather frustrated on the last leap of faith we did with 07 and it was corrupt file this, failed to save document, virtual function call 6025, you know the usual. But anyhow my supervisor gets all janked up on the latest and greatest. So when it comes down to it, it...

    space navigator

    just bought a spacenavigator and it will not work with SW07.Seems to be working with Google Earth but it will not work in SW07. Is there a setting in SW to make the pointing device work?

    Sketch Pattern not working properly

    Thanks for the reply Scott. Sounds like the Hole Series function could be a valuable tool. I will try to mess around with it when I get a lighter workload.(Yea right!)Too busy right now to tinker but will give it a go in 8weeks or so when things start to slow down. Captain Caveman Almex...

    Sketch Pattern not working properly

    Update: I tried the hole series function but it gave me an error concerning multiple instance. Anyways I ended up creating the tapped holes by putting all of the locations in with the driving sketch. More or less I resketched the countersunk features' sketch. The part that is confusing is...

    Sketch Pattern not working properly

    I have not used the hole series function before, but on reading in the help file it said it is not intended for multiple instances. SW paste:You cannot use hole series on assembly components which are multiple instances of the same part, unless each instance is a separate configuration of the...
