We are on 4.0 It happened a few weeks after we went to 4.0, so I dont see an issue there. Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County SW User Group Need Usergroup Info? www.swugn.org

For some strange reason, when I insert bolts from the toolbox into an assembly, they have the rebuild icon attached, and will not rebuild even with a cntrl-Q? It just started happening the other day. Its not every config of the bolts however. For example, in a current assembly I have 1/2-13 X...

I love how some of the features in Solidworks are so simple, that its the last thing you would think to try to solve a question. Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County SW User Group Need Usergroup Info? www.swugn.org

Well it seems as if my computer is having a number of issues today. I rebooted and opened the assembly and everything works like normal. I have never had an issue with it before, so I should have automatically suspected the computer. Our assemblies always contain two rails, and while they are...

When I set a part in an assembly to be excluded from the BOM, it still shows up. Any Ideas? Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County SW User Group Need Usergroup Info? www.swugn.org

Ctrl-Q doesnt work either. Guess not too many people are using Smart Components, maybe there is a reason! Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County SW User Group Need Usergroup Info? www.swugn.org

I have O-Rings that I have turned into smart components. The Smart Component cuts the O-Ring groove geometry into the plate its is placed on. When I mate the O-rings in my assembly, I mate a circle sketch thats in the O-Ring part, concentric to holes on the block that seats flat against the...

Here is a place I took a class at a few years back: http://www.westech.edu/state_funded.htm#1 A usergroup might also be a good resourse, and the price of FREE is pretty good. I can help you directly with that. Shoot me an email if intrested: mpuckett(at)laocswug.com Mike Puckett Group...

SW World 2006 was my first time at one of the world conferances. Overall I enjoyed my time there. There were two presentations that I sat in that I think were a little below what I would have expected, but there also were some really great ones (including the dead batteries in the mouse one...

Weird: I flipped the section and it sectioned ok. Flipped it back, and its still a partial section. I also checked dangling relations, and found none. I also dragged the sections further and no luck. So I got it to work, and I can live with the direction going a different way, but would...

Here is a print screen im able to get while its opening, and shows the original section: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7081/oldsection1dv.jpg Here is the opened version showing section C-C now partial: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/3600/partialsection9wm.jpg Mike Puckett Group...

Yeah, just have to find a place to host it real quick. Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County Solidworks User Group

So I saved my drawing of an assembly that contained some sections on friday. This morning I open it, and it tells me that one of my sections is a partial cut, and will now make that sectaion a partial section. I cant figure out why it does that. I can see in the resulting section that some...

This is all great information so far. This is what I was looking for. Any and all info is appreciated. Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County Solidworks User Group

As a user group leader, I figured I would try and put together a technical presentation that I could give to our group. I choose mates and relations for two reasons. First, when I first started using SW, this is an area that took me a while to understand. Second, there looks to be numerous...

Yeah, looks like there isnt an easy way to do this untill 2007 comes out. Also not much of a chance of getting PDMworks either. Looks like Rob's idea is the quickest. Thanks for the input. Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County Solidworks User Group

I know I can use the File>Find Referances to copy a complete assembly to another location. Is there a way to also copy the drawings? I would like the copied assembly and drawings to be associated with eachother, but be completely disassociated with the source assembly and drawings. Mike...

I normally sketch a construction line and dim its location. I then use either the left, right, or center justification. Mike Puckett Group Leader Los Angeles/Orange County Solidworks User Group
