ctopher - Thanks for your response. I have a scanned surface body. It is a 3D scan of a helmet. Unfortunately SW's symcheck won't work because 1) It is a surface not a solid and 2) there are no faces that are exactly symmetrical. I'm thinking I may need to use something other than SW to do this.

Does anyone know of a tool the detect the symmetry plane in a 3D object? I have a scanned surface model in Solidworks. The symmetry check tool will not work with this so I need another option. Any help is appreciated.

Which STL setting? Incidentally, we are able to export other STL models fine, this just happened twice, both with SWX 2010.

We are having an occasional problem when exporting a STL file. The STL file contains a second, mirrored version of the part. The mirrored body doesn't completely line up. Saving out as a parasolids then exporting the STL takes care of the problem. Just wondering if others have seen this.

Sounds promising, or at least hopeful. I was wondering if an Ipad could open an e-drawing html link received in an email. Any of the 500K new Ipad users up for trying this?

Hi all, Anyone know if you can view an e-drawing on an Ipod/Iphone/Ipad? Maybe if saved as *.htm? Magineer

Josephv, Thanks for the info. When you say "used both" I'm assuming that's Driveworks and DriveworksXpress, not some similar package like Rule Stream. Did you use/evaluate anything else? Do you know if Driveworks can tie into other add-ins like PDMWorks or the SW Routing package? Do you...

Is anyone using Driveworks (xPress or full version)? I have a need to build cable assemblies. I think these are a good candidate for Rule Based Engineering (RBE) because it involves "building blocks" (e.g. connectors, cables, shring tubing, sleeving, etc.). I'm interested in any feedback on...

Rockguy's right, textures look good but can be difficult to position the way you want (you can control scale and angle but not x/y offset). Also textures don't map over multiple surfaces as one image. Even tangent surfaces like fillets. If you think there will be future decal related projects...

Is Tolanalyst only available in premium and not the standard package? I can't remember seeing a breakout of what is available with each package (standard, office, premium). Magineer

Thanks for the replies, I'll try the workaround.

Hello all, I trying to use SW's Pack and Go feature and running into problems. I pick my files, select the "Save to Zip File" option and click "Save". It creates the zip file okay, but it appears empty when I open it. Yet the file size is 500K to 1 Meg, depending on what files I picked. I...

mallex, I'm interested in getting scans of your CD and case. I tried responding to you before but my post didn't show up. magineer

Thanks CorBlimey, I've tried Solidworks. They have a presentation, but I can't get a clear pic of the artwork. They don't seem to have the original artwork files left either. I will try the VARs, but I'm hoping there's a long-time SW user out there that still has the first release.

I'm looking to reproduce artwork. I just need to scan the artwork and can return the box or CD unharmed. Thanks, Magineer

Thanks, I'm trying to get ahold of that presentation. I would prefer to get the actual box, so I can scan in all sides of it. I want to make a 3D representation of it for a project.

Does anyone have a CD of Solidworks 95? I would like to scan in the artwork used on the original packaging (CD case and the Box it same in). I don't need the actual software, just the artwork.
