Welcome back Tick The 3D interactive issue fixed it Thanks for your help

When I import the stp assembly as default the tree shows stp files for each component listed when i save the assembly i can save as a .sldasm but no individual sldprt files are saved When I import the stp assembly with Import multiple bodies as parts the tree shows stp files for each...

3DDave I tried that before; everything on that page none of it worked When i set to default I get an assembly only with stp files in the tree as parts but I cant save each step part individually Same with import multible bodies as parts and import assembly as multiple parts Is there a second...

I am new to SW 2022 I have worked on previous versions for years I used to be able to open a step assembly in SW and when I saved it as a sldasm it would create a separate sldprt file for each part in the assembly I cant figure out how to do this in SW2022 Any suggeestions on how to set it...

I currently have a design for a simple planetary gear box for a power actuator that has a ratio of 4:1 per stage. I have it set up as 2 stages so the overall ratio is 16:1. I have had a new requirement dumped on me. We now need a shifting planetary where we either want a total ratio of 16:1 or...

I was working on a part in SW2015 and made a change in the length of an extruded section. After getting out of the sketch, the part visually disappeared. I tried to undo and it would not. As I move my mouse over the tree, I can see outlines of the part - I just cant visually see it. I didn't...

Ok I got it thanks I am surprised that there is no way to turn this off - to me it is annoying

Bipolar What happens if you have a complex set of curves and geometry and they are not yet fixed with a dimension? Do you simply dimension any individual feature to the size that is already there and then from then on anything you dimension will only affect the one thing you ware dimensioning?

I did a new install on SW2015 on a windows 10 system I am having behavior that I never saw before on my old system and I wonder if it is a setting in system options that I am not familiar with. If I create a new sketch and for example draw a circle without a dimension - say it ends up being...

Pmarc & Nescius Thank you for enlightening me I am glad my perception was not that far off of what it really meant. Now to convince a Mexican - He doesn't want to pay for 2 gages - he thinks it is possible to make this in one gage.

Now I have a new problem and I wonder if its windows 10. I loaded in a dxf file to create a new part - it is of a gear - the outside diameter is 50 mm. To be safe, I historically highlight the entire gear in the sketch and hit fix. I did this now as well. Then on the same sketch I draw...

I reloaded SW 2015 and the slow response to clicking on a surface is not present on the exact same computer that is running 2016. Can it still be my Graphics Card in such a case?

Nescius "I believe it is frowned upon to solely control perpendicularity of a hole relative to a planar datum feature by referencing that single datum." If you are referring to the lower box, the intent is not to control perpendicularity. The intent is to control the relationship of all 6...

I have a customer drawing that was created by a group in Detroit. They did the GD&T. But of course the customer SQA person is in Mexico. They have a different interpretation of how a gage should be built for this - I am caught in the middle although I agree with the Detroit Engineer. Could...

yes it was imported from dxf why is this only a problem in 2016 then? If I save the file as step and reload it, it does the same thing

I am still having problems with SP2 on 2016 and reinstalling a fresh install has not fixed it. When I create models of spur gears each single tooth defined by 4 or 5 circular arcs in a 2D sketch which is extruded, So if I have a 20 tooth gear I may have 120 to 150 arcs in the sketch. Creating...

SolidAir I have been using dxf files of this type for nearly 15 years with solidworks - every release every year. It has always worked well except in 2009 I believe when they started with the block thing. Their block technique made it cumbersome to deal with the dxf files. As a result of my...

I had one further thought: From my sketch you will notice that there are multiple circular arcs. Is it possible that SW2016 does some sort of calculation on the centers of all of those arcs combined and then inserts the sketch onto its own recalculated center of the sketch? If this is what is...

Scott I reset the tools / options as you suggested and opened an existing dxf file - of a 2D gear form. I always explode blocks. In other versions of solidworks, the center of the outside tips of this form were always located at exactly 0,0. After reset in 2016 as you suggested the reading...

SP2.0 has not fixed this issue this problem did not exist in previous versions anyone have any thoughts?
