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.

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...
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...
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.

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?

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.

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...
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...
JUST AN UPDATE. ONE OF MY COWORKERS HAS JUMPED ON THE SW2008 BANDWAGON SO I HAVE TO UPGRADE TO THE NEXT RELEASE.
I GUESS I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY BUT THANKS FOR THE HELP ANYWAYS.

Checked the Open GL Box on with no file open. did not help
Turned the acceleration down to none: did not help
Uninstalled and reinstalled the Nvidia driver, did not help.
Cancelled out of the multiple display on first reboot so I don't know if that has a bearing on the complete install of the...
Read quite a few articles but the tips did not help me.

The icon is in my toolbar but greyed out.
Under the options/Performance Tab I noticed the Use Software Open GL is greyed out and won't let me check it on. Could this be the...
Thanks for the info. It seems the driver that came on the CD would not load correctly. Once I used the updated driver/plugins the menu popped up for SW. and it is working but will be tricky to tailor it to my needs.
Can't seem to find where to Import the profile that I want from the 3dconnexion...
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?

Can not get my assembly to rebuild as the stoplight symbols will not go away. I have two suppessed patterns in the assembly that I would like to delete but I can not get to them as there is no assembly timeline showing up.
I tried to drive a new linear pattern of a component to see if I could...
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.

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...
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...
The top and middle layer are of the same component, just staggered joint.The layer consists of 1 - 1/2"x4" extrusion that has been linear patterned to create layer width of 80"
Middle layer is the same.
Bottom layer is one solid plate.
