To do what I think you're talking about you would need to make standard custom variables that you use in every BOM. Once you have this done, make a BOM template using these custom variables. Now all you have to do is make sure that each part has those custom variables in them. When you insert...

Okay. When I export drawing files to DWG from Solidworks (2007), it will never export only to paper space. The first tab always ends up in model space and has no saved sheet data. Is there a way to fix this? I would ideally like all sheets to be saved as paper space so I don't have to add an...

Try this site and see if it works out for you. http://www.jbj.co.uk/PDF/PipeFlanges.html If it doesn't try calling companies that might stock something of that sort. My company uses square flanges but they are usually a large custom job.

is there a way to permanently set the default break style? i would much prefer the small zig zag used every time.

have you tried the indent feature? i believe this might do what you're describing. you'll have to pull it out of the customize menu as its not in the standard tool bars.

i was referring to all of the college drafting courses that i've taken. most of this stuff either wasn't covered very well, or wasn't mentioned. as far as a good system of checking goes, or how one would operate. maybe there's a specific one that includes it. i guess i'll have to look into that.

Im located in northern california, and i do have an idea of what the y14.5 spec is, but as far as checking goes, they didn't really teach us how to get plans checked in an organization. so im sure that my plans are standard if not very close to standard. just hoping there might be a spec i can...

if after a while of trying the company is resistant to having a checking system, should i consider leaving the company for one that does use specs and is willing do have checkers?

ok. thanks. now all i have to do is figure out a way to convince them of the value these specs have in them. so they'll buy it.

I work for a large pump manufacturer. So my duties there are to produce their Plans for most large projects and some smaller once as well. So the types of parts I draw vary. here's a list: motor stands discharge heads seal plates base plates sole plates all sorts of pipe flanges columns shafts...

I've been trying to figure out exactly what iso 9001 or y14.5 are but haven't been able to track much down on whats in either spec. is there any place that provides such details without purchasing a book on the matter? i have an idea of what they are but not exactly certain. can someone explain...

thanks guys. those are great tips. so far I've proposed that: 1.) a comprehensive book filled with data that pertains any position you happen to have at the company, 2.) we implement iso 9001 standards. i'm fairly sure this company can do it, but i'm not sure they will go all the way. when i...

ok, so i work for a pump manufacturer that designs and builds large pump. currently im their draftsman. up until now all has been good there but lately they've been hounding me to find a way to catch more mistakes. they've really, flat out, just not implemented anything that would remotely...
