    EXTRUDE-----CUT EXTRUDE

    Gotcha...was just one of those things that baffled me for hours and hours... Just a guy in front of a computer banging on the keys Solidworks 2000 STUDENT EDITION COMMODORE 64 MOS Technology 6510 @ 1.02 MHz 64KB RAM VIC-II GRAPHICS CHIP

    EXTRUDE-----CUT EXTRUDE

    This happens on this version SW2008 x64 sp3.0... When creating a cut at the part level the history tree shows the feature as an extrude with the symbol for a cut-extrude. When I do the same thing by modifying the part at the assembly level (EDIT COMPONENT)it comes up as a cut-extrude with the...

    SAVING ISSUES

    No they were not virtual components. I checked my settings and everything seemed ok. Just a guy in front of a computer banging on the keys Solidworks 2000 STUDENT EDITION COMMODORE 64 MOS Technology 6510 @ 1.02 MHz 64KB RAM VIC-II GRAPHICS CHIP

    SAVING ISSUES

    Let me rephrase, I added some new components and also modified features in the assembly though not in context. The modified component was fine, the change that I made stayed the same. The added components though disappeared on reopening the assembly. And maybe I should have prefaced it with...

    SAVING ISSUES

    So I modified an assembly an saved saved saved multiple times throughout the modification process. Restarted the computer because SW was acting a bit goofy...another issue I was having... and when i went to open the file it was missing the components that I had added. Anyone else have this...

    PDM & Edrawings crash SolidWorks

    I had this same problem awhile back...my VAR at the time sent in an SPR but nothing ever came of it. Changed companies and VAR's so not sure if they ever did anything about it...I haven't tried doing that lately for fear of exactly what you are talking about...I will just take the long way and...

    PDMWORKS VAULT ERROR

    We just upgraded to a 500GB hard drive and we are using about 20% of it so I don't think this was the issue. Checked everything else and it looked fine....It may have been because of moving the Vault to a new server.

    PDMWORKS VAULT ERROR

    Fortunately it has not given me this error for awhile now...I restarted the server and PDM service a few times and apparently that did the trick...go figure... Actually i would like to thank my VAR for nothing...they were supposed to get back to me but never did...good thing we pay them...

    How to split up a B.O.M.?

    You can sort your items on the BOM then just split the BOM at that point. Or you can create two different BOMS and just hide the components that are made for the bought Bom and vice versa. Not real user friendly though.

    PDMWORKS VAULT ERROR

    Talked to my VAR and they suggested the same thing...unfortunately it didn't help. They are going to try and resolve this but right now no luck.

    PDMWORKS VAULT ERROR

    We recently upgraded our server and now whenever I go to check something in I get VAULT ERROR 50 7 out of 10 times....very frustrating. I looked up the code for vault error 50 and it wasn't very helpful "50 PDMW_ERROR_FILESYSTEM_UNKNOWN" Anybody else have this issue or know what is causing...

    SERVER BUSY warning window???

    I keep getting this error and was wondering if anybody else has seen this. Back before I upgraded to 2008 it only occurred when saving as a PDF. In 2008 i have the PFD feature set up for when i check in to PDM so now i get the same warning occasionally when checking into PDM as well. Any...

    Part Description

    You can do it both ways...save as and input the description properties or as I first described it. Both will put the description into the BOM.
