Thanks! Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17

I used to have my sketch mode options set where as i would constrain areas of a sketch the line s would change colors to indicate it was fully constrained. I've seemed to lose that feature. I've set it up in the past but can no longer find where this option can be chosen. Can anyone direct me...

is there a macro out there for SE that will auto create multiple Named views? I've founds a few in the past for SW but yet to find anything for SE thanks! Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17

I'm going thru the steps now and i notice that i should be able to keep the 2 file linked to eachother. Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17

Thanks. I believe i remember reading something similiar to what you stated, but just couldn't remember it. Another question. By inserting into a .psm as a part copy, Even though its a "copy" will there be any relations or links between the new sheet metal part and the original model. Is this a...

I tried to search, but i seem to get zero results. Im sure this has been asked before. But anyway. I've created a .par file. Is it not possible to, with-in that .par file, convert it to a sheet metal part? I cannot locate the command. Although i did locate the command in a .psm file. Why would...

You should be able to add the distiller thru the "add printer wizard" in windows. add local Like i mentioned, dl cutepdf, there's no way that shouldn't work. Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17

thanks! I haven't use dthe revision manager much but i can see from what you say, that it may be an easier alternative. I was able to get it to all work out correctly after a second try. But i think i'll go thur your suggestion next time. Again thanks Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17

Do you need Adobe Acrobat to have Distiller. I thought you did. If you don't have distiller, you can get this http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp It has always worked for me. Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17

Hope this is clear.... I've saved a part that has a family of parts(15 total) as a new #. I see the the new #'s family of parts still are named as the old part numbers, which i expected, with the same path and all. With in the newly saved parent part i added a protrusion that i want to to be...

I didn't see a bind sub-asm command. Thanks for the help. I found how to save different configs of an asm. So as to show different exploded components. I'll try it, but i'm also curious, will each config also remember what was hidden or supressed with-in each named config? So you dont have to...

I'm using V17. Is it possible to create different instances of exploded views with-in one assembly? Also why is it i can't select multiple parts and explode them from the stationary part, and they be relative to their mated part. Seem the only real way to have decent contol over how the parts...

I try and translate and assy to a step, iges, parasolid from SE. Then i try to open it in SE(same version) The file opens and i see the "bodyfeature_1" in the feature manager, but there is no actual models showing. I've tried turning on everything. Still nothing. Any ideas. THANKS! Solidworks...

bc, In his post he mentioned checking "export to paper space" in the options dialog prior to using "save as" to convert it to autocad. I never payed attn to this option. But if you check that, it will convert the multiple sheets in a SE draft into multiple layouts in and autocad dwg/dxf. As i...

Possibly making it a detached slddrw, then converting. Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17

Tools>Options>Dimension Styles Format>Styles....Change drop down to Dimensions. Add a "New" style call it Fraction (under Name tab). Under Units tab change the round-off to a fractional value. change whatever other options you need. Once you have that new dim style, you can change all current...

I just listed both, because i've use both. At home i have SW and on the job i use SE. As far as comparing, SE and SW seem similiar. SW may have a few more modeling feature(dome, deform, maybe others). SE is much better when it comes to sketching in 2D, ofcourse they are trying to pull acad...

Use the sweep command. It could get a bit complicated if one bent 1/4 steel rod is following different planes. You'd just need to make sure each sketch is connected to the next. I believe SE can do that...if not it should. :) Sketch your paths...then sketch your profile. Solidworks 2005 Solid...

Possibly, but i have more experience w/SW. Haven't yet started it in SW, but i think may be a few functions in SW that are not in SE(v17) that could help. Solidworks 2005 Solid Edge V17
