    Broken Out Section

    I was able to get it to work by guessing different numbers. The second time I did it was totally different than the first time, the plane was way out in space, whereas the first time the plane was closer to the part.

    Broken Out Section

    I want to do a broken out section on my initial view in a drawing. The problem is I don't have any edges that are where I want the section to be taken. Does anyone know what the default plane is that you use to sketch the outline on? I find that it is off center of the view by using the 3d...

    Display States

    Does anyone know why I cannot change the display state of a sub-assembly in an assembly? The display state box is grayed out and I cannot select anything in it.

    Nesting software

    My company uses TruNEST by Magestic Systems. It has the capability of reading Solidworks models without having to go through the trouble of translating to dxf format. Our machine shop is in the midst of upgrading the software so we no longer have to use dxf. In terms of cost, I am unable to...

    We were saving them to a temp folder and I pointed to that folder in my options and it still brings it in with the config name/QTY. Thanks for the response.

    Config Name in front of QTY header in BOM

    I have read the previous posts that say to get rid of the config name you have to remove the period. We have done that(and also tried various other things) and saved the template to reflect no period. When the BOM template is inserted, it goes back to show QTY. instead of just plain QTY. Has...

    Underline Lineweight in a Note

    I just recently started to have this problem. When I create a note and choose to have it underlined, the lineweight of the underline is very thick. Any ideas on where to adjust this?

    Hatch goes missing when saving in dwg.

    I created a drawing in solidworks. Then I saved it as a .dwg. When I pull it up in autocad (the dwg) the hatch patterns that are not ANSI standard are not there.

    Hatch goes missing when saving in dwg.

    When I open an autocad drawing that I created by saving a solidworks drawing, I notice that all of the hatch patterns that are not ANSI are missing. What I mean by this is my company created our own set of hatch patterns for the materials we use and added them to the existing library with the...

    Using Equations in Title Block Notes

    Solidworks defaults to the standard scale of 1:2. My company uses a scale system of x"=1'-0". So for a drawing that is 1:2, our scale is 6"=1'-0". I am trying to set up an equation in the text box under scale to automatically convert whatever scale is chosen for the sheet to display in our...
