    Cut List in Drawing

    I am having a problem with a cut list in a Solidworks Drawing. I have gotten it to display in units to the 0.1”, but I need it to display in fractional form. When I open my weldment 3D part, I have it listed under cut list properties to the 1/16”. However, the lengths are then displayed in my...

    Does anyone know how to use routing with rectangular tubing. I see that I can use round tubing of any size, but I dont know how to create a new shape for the design library or if it is even possible. Thanks

    Vault to Feature Tree Renaming

    Okay, the references are all correct. I fixed the issue with a quick rebuild. It's kind of strange though that something so simple would fix this issue after tinkering with it so much.

    Vault to Feature Tree Renaming

    Is it possible that the parts are not necessarily replaced?

    Vault to Feature Tree Renaming

    I have already checked, the "update component names...replaced" box is already checked. I would have thought that would fix this, but I have had the same problem with other assemblies in the past. Any other ideas?

    Vault to Feature Tree Renaming

    I have went through a project on my Vault and renamed all of the parts associated with a particular assembly. But when I open the assembly, it continues to list the old part names in the Feature tree. Does anyone know how to update the names of these Assembly Features to match the vault. I have...

    Vault Information Export

    I need to transfer as much information about my Vault parts as possible from the server to some sort of accounting software like Excel. Does anyone know of a quick way to export the document properties of every part in the vault to Excel? Thanks

    BOM

    When I create a BOM from a model view, it includes all parts from the model. But I would like it to only show a list of the parts that I have specifically called out in the drawing. Is there any setting for this? I know that I can go in and manually hide each of the 200 other parts, but I'm...

    Spring panel

    I have need to have a panel bent/broken so that the entire panel is one part. For this application, I would like to include a push-to-close latch of my own design (still all one piece). Does anyone have any ideas on which form of steel to use? Keep in mind that I would like to keep cost down on...

    Solidworks Explorer document renaming issue

    After renaming a document/part within a project, then when I click on the project tab, any files I rename containing Capital Letters reappear as lowercase. The letters only appear lowercase though when clicking on this project tab. The letters are uppercase everywhere else (Vault and Windows...

    Export/Import files with constraints

    Can anyone shed light on a few options for exporting/importing part files to and from Solidworks so that the constraints in an assembly will remain intact? In particular, I was wondering if there is a specific format or procedure for exporting from other CAD programs that would ensure the...

    Help Renaming Parts

    I do use PDMWorks with SW and I was just wondering if I can just right-click on each part in the file explorer tab of SW and rename from there. Would there be any problems with that? Would all of the references remain in tact?

    BOM part number issues

    Okay, I have renamed several parts that are used in an assembly. That assembly is referenced in a drawing, but the BOM is still reflecting the old part names. In fact the vault still seems to contain these parts. Any ideas?

    Drawing Units

    I need to add "m" to the dual dimensions in my drawing. The first dimension displays: " for inches, but nothing for the second. This is an important thing to add because our company is in the beginning stages of converting some products to metric and the machinists need to get used to seeing it...
