    Explode Line Sketch not suppressing based on part state.

    My problem is that it is not suppressing when the parent is suppressed.So in other words the part gets suppressed, now there is an explode line that goes off into basically nothing. I could deal with this if I could find the sketch for the Exploded Line to put in my design table for controling...

    Explode Line Sketch not suppressing based on part state.

    Explode Line Sketch. When a part is suppressed, why isn’t the Exploded line sketch associated with that part also suppressed? I am creating a master exploded assembly file that suppresses and unsuppressed parts based on inputs selected in the design table. We have so many different combinations...

    Viewing an Excel table that was inserted into a Solidworks Drawing.

    My video card is an NVIDIA QUADRO 4 750 XGL 128 MB I checked the SW website and its driver version is current.

    Viewing an Excel table that was inserted into a Solidworks Drawing.

    I inserted an excel object from a file into a drawing. I always seem to have a problem showing the columns that I want it to display. I have tried editing the excel table with the worksheet, and resetting the print area. I have right clicked on the table and tried reset size. Has anyone had this...

    Copy an exploded view?

    Is there anyone out there who has been able to copy an exploded view, I need to have the same base exploded view with different parts attached to it, it would be great if I could copy the one I already have rather than have to create it again. I know I can always just suppress what I don't want...

    How do you attach a block to a specific place on a view?

    Scott, My problem is, we actually place a symbol on top of any dowels holes on a part. This symbol I created with a block. I want that block to become a part of that view and actually stick itself to that hole until I decide it no longer needs to be attached. What happens to me now is, I have to...

    Scott, Thank you for your suggestions, all those things I tried already and I still get an empty file. As far as the mdt translator the files are dumb solids and mdt translator won't work on them. Any other suggestions? Kim

    Converting an autocad dumb solid?

    Is there anyone who knows a quick way to convert an autocad dumb solid into solidworks? The way we do it now is to convert the autocad file into an acis file, then open that acis file in soildworks and save it. In solid workd if I go to file open dwg, then select 3d model nothing appears on my...

    How do you attach a block to a specific place on a view?

    I have blocks that I want to attach to a hole on a view, those blocks need to follow the view when I move it, they also need to stay exactly where I put them on the view. Any suggestions?

    ARE THERE ANY EX-ACAD USERS WHO ARE NOW SOLIDWORKS EXPERTS WHO CAN OFFER ANY INFORMATION ON HOW I WOULD FIT TEXT INTO AN AREA? FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW ACAD, FIT TEXT ALLOWS YOU TO STRETCH OR SHRINK THE LENGTH OF TEXT TO FIT INTO A PRE-DEFINED BOX, IT LEAVES THE HEIGHT OF THE TEXT THE SAME...
