    Multiple (more than 2) Monitors

    "Another thing to consider is why do you place the Windows Taskbar at the bottom of your screen? Have you ever tried placing it on the side? Considering we now have 16x9 ratio widescreens why do people take up valuable real-estate with a taskbar which can turn into a multi line one with many...

    SW drawing saved as DWG, then open in Autocad geometry has gaps

    I do this all the time, create a model in SW and save out as .dwg from .slddrw. Most of the time, it's sheet metal. I also create polylines and regions from that geometry requiring contiguous lines and arcs. Seldom do I have a problem, perhaps one in hundreds. Would it be possible to share a...

    Is it possible to extract all dimensions from a sheet?

    If you have a model, why not insert a design table and use all the dimensions used to create the part to populate the design table. No API programming and self contained in SW. After all the DT is an Excel spreadsheet.

    AV software.

    EEnd, I really like this suggestion since it puts the user in control, where I want to be. I will execute this fix today. She doesn't get files on USB drives everything comes from e-mail. BTW I was searching the web for some skeet shooting information last night and triggered an alarm from AVG...

    AV software.

    Eric, sounds like something I would do, but my wife, no way. She really doesn't get this stuff and I can understand that. Right brain, left brain thing. Any way we paid for the fix and it is repaired. I believe they worked on it for over 3 hours. I think I will download CBL's fix above and...

    AV software.

    No not yet. I was able to get it under control enough to stop the pop ups etc and I deleted much of it but there are still three contaminated files in the Win32 directory(?) that were not deleted by AVG. I will try the fix tonite if my wife hasn't paid to get it fixed yet. She is a university...

    AV software.

    That is exactly what happened to us. "XP Total Security" on two occasions and when you run AVG it cannot clean three of the six infected files. Worthless. You testimonial is more valuable than the magazines because I don't trust the relationships that may exist. Call me jaded.

    AV software.

    I did a search and found the latest anti-virus recommendations in 2007. I have been infected with 2 worms over the last 6 months on my home computers both running XP one 64 & one 32 bit. It creates a real mess and I don't understand why these worms are not blocked. I have been a loyal AVG user...

    Obtaining licenses from another company

    I sold my license to my employer years ago. Luckily, I had a good VAR and they were a lot of help. Anything I would say about your situation would only be speculation. Call your VAR and talk to the highest level person you can get to. They will know the drill.

    Solidworks 2010 Flat Pattern problem

    Let me make sure I understand. You are saving a .slddrw which is to scale, as a .dwg which is then scaled up behind the scenes? I do a lot of the same work but ... have seen this if my options are not set properly in SW but it is scaled up in the .slddrw as well.

    Secondhand Solidworks

    I sold my personal copy of SW to the company I am employed at. My boss asked me to specify the software I useed to translate files etc. and I told him my copy was for sale. I had discussed this with my VAR prior to purchase. Seems as though there is an allowance for that in the initial purchase...

    In-context menu

    Start the customize dialogue by right clicking with in an empty portion of a toolbar. (I think you already did that.) Select the keyboard tab and scroll down to the category "others" look to the shortcuts column (about the 17th item in 2009 version) Good luck

    bend lines in developments

    Is there a way to save these settings rather than the additional work of remembering to do this every time? (I have been looking for this for a while.) Regards

    solidworks 2006 crashing after installing service pack 3

    I recently received a new computer, equipped w/ xp pro sp 3, also a Dell. Using SW 2008 sp 0.1 (if it ain't broke don't fix it.) Installed SW after the upgrade of the OS, everything is OK. No crashes, rock solid. Been using this setup for 2 months now. Dell precision 5400 Intel Xeon E5420...

    HP Designjet 650C plotting incorrectly

    I will follow this thread carefully, since my VAR told me that SW wont print to the 650C. I have never been able to do so. Using SW since 2003. Most of my printing is done on "B" size anyway and I have an HP 8850 for that, but it would be helpful occasionally to print large format. Chuck
