    Lost my Solidworks tab in Autocad

    Can anybody tell me how to get the SWX tab back in autocad? A lot of customers don't have SWX and that was a great way to create dwg's from SWX files. I think my registry cleaner may have removed it. Sure would love to have it back. Thanks in advance for any help, Tony

    DYN values superimposed on screen in version '06

    That did'nt work. Thanks for the effort though. It's really strange. I can make it do it by creating an arc and then doing a polar array. After the array is set up, I can do a preview and modify a couple of times and it usually happens. The information at the cursor is staying on the...

    DYN values superimposed on screen in version '06

    Is anyone else having problems with dynamic input leaving numeric values on the screen? It's really weird, but you can't even get to them to remove them. It's like they're superimposed in a text box. All I can do is shut down the program and start it back up to get rid of them. Can anybody help?

    Graphics Card Driver confusion

    I RECENTLY HAD AN NVIDEA FX540 INSTALLED ON MY SYSTEM. THE MOST RECENT DRIVER AVAILABLE (7756) IS LISTED AS HAVING "LIMITATIONS", WHILE THE LAST ONE (7184) IS LISTED AS "PASSED ALL". I KNOW THE RULE-OF-THUMB IS TO ALWAYS USE THE LATEST DRIVER BUT THE LIMITATIONS THING KINDA MAKES ME WONDER...

    TEXT SIZE IN PAPER SPACE

    I'm new to Autocad so this may be sound like a stupid question. How do you adjust the size of your text/deminsions when in paper space? I understand that text and dimension sizes should be preset on a template, but when you do a layout you have the option of setting the drawing scale. Now, if...

    THANKS GILDASHARD FOR THE OFFER ON THE CARD BUT I TALKED TO MY COMPUTER GUY AND FOUND OUT THAT MY MOTHER BOARD IS PCIe, WHATEVER THAT MEANS. ANYWAY HE SAYS I HAVE TO GO WITH SOMETHING LIKE THE FX540. IT ALSO HAS 128MB ONBOARD AND COSTS LESS THAN $250.00. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS...

    GRAPHICS CARD UPDATE ADVICE

    I AM NEW TO SOLIDWORKS AND I'M TRING TO SET UP MY SYSTEM. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE SOLID WORKS WEB SITE FOR "SUPPORTED" GRAPHICS CARDS AND THE QUADRO 4 900XGL SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD, MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD CHOICE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? BY THE WAY, THIS IS ONLY FOR LIGHT DUTY, HOME USE...
