    who can answer one question about sketch plane (SOLIDWORKS2004)?

    Hi, Maybe you should check if you by misstake checked the Create sketch on new part option. Tools/Options/System options/Sketch/Create sketch on new part If you have checked that option SW will create a new sketch before you been able to choose where you want it. Regards, Sam

    Macro that give names to dimesions?

    Thanks again aamoroso, It seems to work fine. The only thing I have to fix is if a user runs the macro twice on separate dimensions in the same sketch, the strange thing happends that booth dimensions gets the same name and if you changes the first changed dim only the second changed dim...

    Macro that give names to dimesions?

    Its in the part. Thanks aamoroso, thats also the way I also usually approches it. Search, cut, paste, patch together and finally crosses my fingers. I tried it this time too but got a bit stuck and hoped that someone else done something similar. I was a bit frustrated because I really hoped...

    Macro that give names to dimesions?

    Hi We are ordered to choose three sigificant dimension on every SW part we make and name them L, OD, ID. Then link those dimensions to customptoperties with the same name. I guess that it would be really easy to create a macro that automates this work. - Choose a dimension(manually) -...

    2004 sp3.0 created two solidworks directories

    I haven’t seen any good explanations to this issue yet so I’ll give it a try I’ve heard that lots of people encounters problem with multiple SolidWorks folders but I’ve never understood what they where doing wrong until today when I help a guy in our office. The problem is if a person goes in...

    Scott, do you mean that if you do a Save as (Which does basically the same as Ecosqueeze)the file is going to take longer time to open the first time?? Regards, Sam

    Has EcoSqueeze corrupted your files?

    No, never I have even "squeezed" our hole modelarchive. I know its not what we are supposed to do but efter using the program for a very long time and never encountered any problems I felt safe about it. Regards /Sam

    No Pointer Feedback (Cursor is just a crosshair for all entities)

    Try turning off the 2D emulator under Tools/add-ins. That should do the trick /Sam White

    Thanks everybody for trying to help me I been away for a while and was supprised of all the effort you guys put in. I just tested doing this with a design table but couldnt get it to work because I dont get the value just the link in to my desig table. Im going to check my API fundamentals...

    Use weight in an equation?

    We would like to calculate a value using weight and volume from a part and use this value on our drawings. Because there is no equations in Drawing mode we hoped to be able to use equations in the part calcuate the value and for example give that value to the length of a dummy sketch. Then take...
