    Solidworks motion 2010

    I was doing some reading, and it turns out like you speculated, you do need Simulation Professional, or Premium (the next steps up from SolidWorks Premium) to have this button available. Sorry. 2009/2010 Premium

    Solidworks motion 2010

    Boomer, First turn on your Simulation Motion add in. Then select the Motion Study tab at the bottom of the page. Then select Motion Analysis from the dropdown box on the left. A button will appear by the double arrows on the right that are used to minimize and maximize the Motion Manager. It...

    MateXpert

    Yep, after asking this question I realized that I just decline it every time. The problem is I have coworkers that violently hate extraneous windows that force you to click through them... Wait till 08 I guess. SW/PDM 07 SP4 XP x64 Quadro FX 4600

    MateXpert

    Well since Phil pulled this post out of the dust I'll say that I too want to find this misspelled post. I have some engineers here that just hate this feature of SW autoflipping mates, it would be nice if you had the option to accept the flip, or turn the feature on and off. SW/PDM 06 5.1/5.0 x64

    System Locking at 50% CPU Usage

    Long shot but I had a microsoft mouse, and the intellimouse software was causing solidworks to lock up one of my cores and pause for 15-30 seconds every few minutes, usually when I was using my mouse to move views and rotate. I had to uninstall microsofts mouse button manager and install a 3rd...

    SW Benchmark updated!

    Solidworks 2007 cpu usage

    Sorry to keep bringing this thread up to the top, but I figured out the answer to my problem. When I brought it up to my VAR, turns out this same thing has been causing them problems, like white/black screens and hangs. I had been running in software OpenGL mode, but the real culprit was...

    Solidworks 2007 cpu usage

    Arash I have been battling this for weeks now. We switched to quad core cpu's and the new Nvidia Quadro 4600. Under normal operation I can be doing something as simple as spinning a part around for a better view. When out of nowhere the the cpu jumps to 25% (maxed out one core?) and I can do...

    3dconnexion releases SpaceNavigator

    I think if you plan on using this at work, or having your company buy it you are supposed to buy the $99 one. SW/PDM 06 4.0

    3dconnexion releases SpaceNavigator

    3dconnexion released a $59 version of their SpaceTraveler today. It only has two programmable buttons and no LED lights (as far as I can tell). There is a $99 dollar version for Pro users??? I could get used to the small size and the fewer buttons for that price no problem...

    Astroid 6000

    Tell me this Phadreus, Does the ball mech feel good on the Astroid? The one thing that has me wanting a new spaceball is the jiggle in the mechanism in my 4000. I can wiggle the ball around a little without moving the model. I know the SB5000 has this beat. SW/PDM 06 4.0

    Astroid 6000

    ...placement. I like the way the buttons are situated on my SB4000, and subsequent Spaceballs. From a previous post 11991 hadn't used any Space**** controllers before getting the Astroid so he couldn't compare, so I think someone should get it and do a review.

    Astroid 6000

    I for one have been waiting for this, thanks for the notification. Wish there was a way to see one and try it out. Looks like they weren't able to get the camera mode working with Solidworks though. Clem SW/PDM 06 4.0 Dell 2.4P4 2G Ram Spaceball 4000

    Astroid 6000 SW driver in the works.

    This may be old news but I couldn't find it in the forum. I read a post that said the Astroid 6000 would have beta SW drivers in May so I fired off an email and here is the (quick!) reply. I am pretty curious to see how their pseudo camera mode works out. Anyway looks like I will be waiting...

    Spaceball settings?

    I have a saved profile and have had very few resetting problems. I usually restart the driver if it does reset. I am using a 4000 FLX 3DxWare 4.2.7, FW 2.43 Assy Mode. 1. ESC 7. Reset Sens. A. Left Alt 2. Show Mapping Panel 8. Increase Sens. B...

    Astroid 6000 3D Mouse

    I've had my eye on this since I heard about it last year, but never once seen a real picture of it. Nice to hear it really exists. How does it feel? Clem ME SW/PDM 06 2.0

    Can pdf's be saved to B&W?

    I don't use the print option but I will have to look into it. The problem is that recently my dimensions have appeared as gray in my detail drawings. I can fix it by changing the 'driven dimension' color to black, but then I lose the ability to distinguish driven dimensions. Clem ME SW/PDM 06 2.0

    Hole Wizard

    SW places a whole where ever you clicked last before choosing the Hole Wizard. If you are in the habit of highlighting a face and then choosing hole wizard, the point you clicked to highlight that face is where the first hole will be placed. If you choose the Hole Wizard first and then choose...

    Can pdf's be saved to B&W?

    All detail drawings that we create get turned into PDFs at some point. Recently I noticed that the PDF'd are being created with gray dimensions which fail to print very will. I don't know what changed to cause this but I have two questions about how to fix it. 1. Can the default layer for...

    Changing table color.

    Thanks guys! This has been haunting me for a while. It's one of those things where I have checked and double-checked. Don't quite know how I missed that option though Regg. That is interesting about the color pdf's. I create a lot of pdf's, but only recently have I noticed that they were...
