patprimmer,
I was looking for the strength I can expect, and maybe parameters that will cause variations. In the application I am working on the knit line area is still very strong. My customer was asking for a "scientific explanation" that compares the base material to the knit line areas...
I am looking for a technical explanation of knit line affect on material strength in PC/ABS injection molded parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Joe
I would like to create a list of dimension names, their values and associated tolerances for all dimensions in a detail drawing.
This list will be used to document output from a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine).
Is this possible without being proficient in the SolidWorks API?
Thank You

One option with eDrawings is to allow STL output.
Have any of you used this feature successfully to convey 3D model data to a vendor?
Thank You

I have used CircuitWorks, a SolidWorks add-in to bring Allegro (Cadence) files into SolidWorks.
You export the Allegro data as an IDF file (there are actually two files) and then use CircuitWorks to import the data into SolidWorks which builds a 3D model of the board.
I gave RealView a try yesterday, and was surprised to see a bunch of automobiles and a KIA sign in the reflection on the part I was working on. It looked like it was at a car show or something. It looked pretty nice, but I don't like the KIA sign reflecting off of a part I designed.

I downloaded and installed the latest XP drivers from Dell prior to posting (they did't work.) I did not uninstall the old driver - that is an excellent suggestion and I'll try it when time permits.
Thank you all for helping me.
Mr. Brown,
If you could, please send a model to joem@vbrick.com.
I was working on threads over the weekend and had a problem getting them "perfect".
Thank You

I just changed operating systems from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro. Neither SolidWorks or eDrawings could open a file without crashing.
Solution - enable Software Open GL in SolidWorks 2003 and in eDrawings 2003.
Observations
1. I did not have to enable Software OpenGL in the previous...

This was a great thread - many experts out there.
Since you've tried everything logical, here's a few more straws to grab at:
1. Try booting up without connecting to your network. Maybe something is going on in background.
2. Ask the VAR that sold you SolidWorks for help. Burn a CD and let...
