    Converting Images or word clip art into something acad can interpret

    I'm in the process of building a title block, I'm trying to avoid drawing the whole company logo out by hand. Is there a shorthand way to take this piece of clip art from the word doc and convert it to something that acad can interpret? Thanks in advance

    Extruded cut on part through specific features

    This is true, but as some of these parts are fairly complex, and I'm running sw2010 off of a computer w/ a Pentium 4 I'd prefer to keep the feature tree as consolidated as possible.

    Extruded cut on part through specific features

    If the people from Dassault were listening, they should note that this would be a nice thing for the extruded cut feature to have.

    3D printing

    It all depends on what you're doing, we had a 50k machine at the place I was working at a while ago. I believe it was a dimension brand printer. It would take days to do some of the more intricate parts. The printer itself had a tolerance of.... oh +/- .005 inches I think, maybe less. The neat...

    Sketch questions

    I haven't seen any settings that will do that automatically, I have the 'normal-to' view option hotkeyed to something near my left hand, (I'm right handed). I just use ctrl+d, clicking the scroll wheel on the mouse allows you to pivot the part in any direction you want. Try out different...

    Extruded cut on part through specific features

    Okay that's what I thought.

    Extruded cut on part through specific features

    I'm wondering if there is a way to do an extruded cut on a part through specific features only such that it cuts some features and leaves others alone? is this possible?

    Wierd solidworks issues.

    Exactly, the design table has everything suppressed//unsuppressed correctly. But SW isn't reflecting that....

    Wierd solidworks issues.

    That's the interesting thing about this, there weren't any constraints or parent/child relationships, that was the first thing that I checked.

    Wierd solidworks issues.

    I have a model with 40+ configurations. I have several layers of sketches that are all tied to a single main feature. None of the sketches are tied to each other. This is verifiable via the parent/child relationships window. All of the configurations in the configure component window show up...

    Copy sketch to another plane

    I think your best bet is probably to do a derived sketch, esp if you're going to be making any changes to it.

    Replacing parts in assemblies and drawings

    Does anyone know if there is a command or function that solid works has built in which allows you to replace parts within drawings? Thanks in advance!!

    It's in the dwg for solidworks. Its SW 2010 SP3, and running in XP, 32 bit i believe

    wierd solidworks quirks

    One of my coworkers is having a curious issue. He is representing stamping into a part by overlaying a sketch with text on an extrusion. He is not performing an extruded cut to reduce the graphically intensive features on the part. However, when he creates a new drawing, the text comes in...

    The 'break lines' dimension property stopped working on my sw 2010

    Ideally, If I were a programer at Dassault, I would place as a check box either before or after the space where you fill in the size of the line break, in a conspicuous place, and not as some hidden setting under document properties. You can change many of the properties of the dimensions...

    The 'break lines' dimension property stopped working on my sw 2010

    Actually I figured this out, there was an option buried in the document properties that makes it so that the dimension lines only break around the arrows, which in my opinion is totally useless. The great people at Dassault do a wonderful job of hiding settings that should be on the most...

    What's wrong with my SolidWorks 2010? Always overlapping

    It looks like an MC Escher drawing

    The 'break lines' dimension property stopped working on my sw 2010

    The break lines feature on SW 2010 stopped working. It was working properly last night. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
