    Lost ability to edit material

    In a part, when I right click on material in the feature tree, I can no longer edit the material. The only options that pop up are hide/show, collapse and customize. How do I turn this back on. Thanks Thomas

    Any good places to find solids of Dewalt drill parts.

    Thanks Corey, Those were some of the first websites I've tried. I was only able to come up with 3 of the 17 parts needed. No access to any scanning. We are just going to order the parts now. Thanks for your help.

    Any good places to find solids of Dewalt drill parts.

    The interwebz didn't produce, that's why i'm asking in a forum. The old saying of if you can't advance the conversation, you're not obligated to talk. I work for a fairly large company and we are usually able to get solids from manufacturers through our various partnerships but it takes time...

    Any good places to find solids of Dewalt drill parts.

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any good places to get solids of Dewalt drills. I'm working on a custom case and I'm trying to save some time and money by not having to buy and model them myself. The Kit is DCK955X for reference. Thanks for your time Thomas

    Trouble making a weldment path on a lofted face

    Trouble making a weldment path on a lofted face. I made a lofted face and sketch planes. I cut the face at each plane and made sketch from the edge of the face. The sketch line is a dashed spline That I cannot use for a path. How do I work around this?

    My company is looking for a new large format printer. We currently use an Epson stylus pro 9000 but it's reaching the end of it's life cycle. I've found a couple Hp's for around 4k that were looking at and the would be the top of our price range. Does anyone have any bias in this area? We...

    Google SketchUp? any opinions

    I use solidworks for everything. I'm starting to see a need to insert my designs into a photo to sale to clients. Most of my friend that do this use Google sketch and skin it. My designs are mechanical designed, does anyone use sketch up and can give me limitations on it?

    Weldments rendering weird

    256MB ATI Radeon X1300PRO is the graphics card. not sure about the drivers. I think your right about the hardware thing. The jpeg I loaded was supposed to show the hidden lines. I guess I should have checked it first. I guess it's purchase order time. Thanks for the help.

    Weldments rendering weird

    I've been doing a lot of weldments as of late and creating my own profiles. These are all for handrails. In the part, it's rendering all the hidden lines visable even through a shaded drawing. I have all the hidden lines turned off too. This seems like a random event, it doesn't happen all the time.

    Is SW on the right track?

    This is a little late but I have loaded solidworks on an xbox. For about $70, you can have your xbox hacked, run windows xp and that's it. Haven't tried on a 360 yet because once hack it, you loose the online play. If an xbox 360 cost $350, that's well bellow what a decent computer would cost...

    editing assemblies

    I have a large assembly that I need to add some bolt holes to. Is there a way I can add these to the assembly so they will show up on the individual parts without editing each part?
