    Staying Afloat

    I wanted to get some opinions about dealing with growing responsibilities at work. I started at my current job as a Design Engineer and was purely tasked with dealing with any new design projects, but also bringing old products into the CAD system from paper. The later never took off because...

    Force Update to Config's via DT

    I tried it by editing the sketch, changing the property, saving the sketch, and opening the DT. I also tried just expanding the feature to show the sketch in the FM, doubleclicked on the sketch to show the dims, changed the property, hit Rebuild, and open the DT. Neither way allowed the Driven...

    Force Update to Config's via DT

    That's what I tried to do. I would uncheck it, select Apply, see that it stayed unchecked, Select OK, go back into the DT, exit the DT, and see no change in the dimension. Going back to properties, the dimension keeps setting itself back to Driven. Kevin Sears Perfecto Manufacturing, Inc.

    Hello. Is there a way to force an update to all the dimensions in a part controlled by a DT? I added some columns to control additional dimensions and they wouldn't update unless I changed the value to something else and exit the DT. Thanks, Kevin

    Export of System and Document Options

    Thanks guys! I downloaded the excel file from the swtools site and started comparing the part and drawing options tabs. Once I saw some differences pop up, I realized I'd have to set them up separately. The excel file will provide a good reference when setting up the other file types. Kevin...

    Export of System and Document Options

    I'm new to SolidWorks and am using 2006 SP0.0. I was going to begin generating some part, drawing and assembly templates. I would like to set up the part templates and then transfer the document options to the drawing and assembly templates. I've looked in the SW help and searched on this...
