    Image Scale for Sketch Picture in Solidworks

    Thanks everyone...... I don't feel so bad now, cause I was beating my head trying to figure out a way. It's interesting that I notice the solidworks freeform demo on their site, talking and showing how to create a boat hull, but they just say, "Bring in the image using Sketch Picture" and they...

    Image Scale for Sketch Picture in Solidworks

    I'm looking to take pencil drawn cross-sections, (like a boat hull for example), bring them into Solidworks using Sketch Picture, then use them as patterns to trace them. I then trace them to create sketches, each sketch on it's on plane. I then loft those sketches together to create the complex...

    Importing ProE file error

    When trying to import a ProE assembly file, it tells me "All features suppressed or an empty ProE file". Would anyone have any ideas to get around this. These parts were made from a former engineer who used to work here and took ProE with him... Thanks

    Subtracting Bodies From Each Other

    I can't seem to find COMBINE in Assembly mode, so I can subtract one body from another. Where is it hidden? OR do I need to use a different command in assembly mode? Thanks....

    Deleting indiviudal entites in Solidworks Drawing

    How can I delete an individual line within a drawing view? When I try to delete a line in a view, the whole view deletes. I just want the single line to go away, not the whole view. Thanks....:)

    Moving 3D body to different origin in Solidworks

    I figured it out.... The tube was created with the revolve feature because the inside of the tube has various profiles inside it. I just ended up moving the body to re-position it.... Thanks for responding....
