    I have absolutely no idea what <ALT> 0010 is supposed to mean or do... Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation www.sncorp.com Solidworks 2005

    [b]Word Wrap[/b]

    I did a search on word wrap but only got a few hits regarding BOM's. I'm in the process of creating custom sheet formats and so far have been forced to add 3 separate "title" properties because a single property (if filled with too much text) won't wrap down. I wanted to use a single property...

    Sheet format will not print

    I appreciate the tip - just wish I learned it 2 days ago. Coming from an Autodesk background, not much in SW is intuitive or works the way I think it should. I know Spencer [bigears]. He works up in ISR. Where you from? Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation www.sncorp.com...

    Sheet format will not print

    Nevermind, I figured it out. I assumed it must have something to do with print area since I created the D from the C and so many SW "switches" and such are carried over. I had to reset the scale factor. I imagine I'll have a lot of issues like this until I learn the interface in and out. Shane...

    Sheet format will not print

    I've looked thru past posts but I haven't come across the issue I'm having. I'm creating custom borders/templates. I've modified a C size to become a D size, everything seems fine, but when I try to print preview, or even when I print, the entire contents are invisible. They won't print. What...

    Anotations Fonts - Making changes &quot;stick&quot;

    Thanks, it seems to have worked. I guess I won't worry about the sheet format as long as when I go to create the drawing the text doesn't revert. Appreciate the help. Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation www.sncorp.com Solidworks 2005

    Anotations Fonts - Making changes &quot;stick&quot;

    Ok so I did exactly as you said Chris, I changed all anotation fonts as Arial, saved sheet format, saved as drawing template, but I opened the sheet format (slddrt) file, and it still has century gothic as the font file... Shane Polwort Senior E/M Designer Sierra Nevada Corporation...

    Anotations Fonts - Making changes &quot;stick&quot;

    Ok so you're saying I need to have a seperate template for each sheet format? The way SW prompts you to insert your sheet format when you open a template (and the fact that you see all the sheet formats available) I assumed I would only need 1 base template I could use to insert whichever sheet...

    Anotations Fonts - Making changes &quot;stick&quot;

    I've spent a lot of time and energy creating custom sheet formats and templates for my company. I started with an existing format that used Century Gothic as the standard font and I've tried over and over and over to change it to Arial (my company standard) but I can't get it to stick. I've...

    Custom Properties

    Thanks for the responses guys, but I think the subject is getting off track. I have absolutely NO problem with properties linked to parts & assemblies. They remain empty or invisible until I place the component into the drawing. My original question wasn't about properties that are linked to a...

    Custom Properties

    I'm in the process of creating custom borders and I'm trying to utilize as many built-in and custom properties as I can to eliminate repetitive data entry. I've searched through the posts but I haven't found anything on my particular issue, so I'm posting this: In Inventor, I can link custom...
