    Custom properties in file templates

    I agree with all of you, although I'm sure I did this for someone else on 2001Plus. Could this be an issue with SW2001 with no service packs? Everything seems right except that SW doesn't update the new file name. Thanks All ???Oliver???

    Taper Lock Bushes

    Fenner is preferred choice here in Australia, but any will do, mostly all i need is angular position and pcd of the set screws and guide pins.

    Custom properties in file templates

    I've recently been setting up some templates to feed data into a custom BOM, for SW 2001. My problem is when I use the templates to make parts the custom properties still refer to the name of the template and not the name of the part that has been saved, hence the cut prop value doesn't work. eg...

    SW Manufacturer Catalogues

    I'm trying my very best to show my employer the benefits of 3d, and the only thing stopping him from purchasing SW right now is the very large jump from AutoCAD 2d. I would appreciate you all adding to a list of OEM's that have 3d catalogues, especially in SW. So far all I have is the Solid...

    Equations in animator

    I have heard that animator only performs a partial rebuild in between frames and that equations will not update. If this is true then my problem is this: I want to animate gears running in sync with each other and since the gears are different sizes, I can't just use an angle mate or other...

    Same part file names

    Does SW allow parts of the same file name but from different directories to be in the same assembly. I ran into this problem last week when I named two different parts from two different sub-assemblies with the same name. Each part was in its own sub-assembly folder, but when I opened one of the...

    SW cam mate

    I'm running SW 2000 and so I don't have the cam mate that SW2001 apparently has. I get an error about the types of features allowed to be mated when I try to mate a roller and a cam profile with a tangent mate. Does anyone know of a way around this or a product that can do it such as from...
