    Errors in drawing sheet format.

    Has anyone come across a setting which needs to be turned on/off in order to get rid of an error message? Basically if there is no description/material etc in the model, which would otherwise be linked in the sheet format there is an error message coming in. See the attached jpeg. Thanks

    TEXT FEATURE

    Appologies for the caps lock on. Didn't think it was a problem. The point you refer to Rfus, is not visible on my screen, is there an option that must be turned on in order to dimension to it? thanks

    TEXT FEATURE

    DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO FULLY DEFINE AN EXTRUDED TEXT FEATURE? CURRENTLY THERE ARE OVER 100 CONFIGURATIONS OF DISCS WITH TEXT RUNNING AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE DISC. WHEN OPENING A NEW SIZED DISC THE TEXT STAYS WHERE IT WAS FROM THE PREVIOUS DISC. THANK YOU

    ADDING WEIGHT INTO A DESIGN TABLE??

    THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO PUT WEIGHT INTO THE DESIGN TABLE WAS BASICALLY BECAUSE I WANTED SOLID WORKS TO WORK OUT THE WEIGHTS OF SEVERAL HUNDERED ASSEMBLY CONFIGS TO ADD THEM INTO A SEPERATE EXCEL SHEET.

    Where used 'feature' in Configs

    Thanks Guys, Also when I create a new material within our Company materials database, I tried setting the hatching to 'none', but when I try editing or using the material it always reverts back to the default setting of 'hatch'. Why does this happen?
