Re: New Odd Behaviour: Rollback Bar

I know it would be a huge undertaking, but I would love to see two options on every one of those dialogs - "Don't ask again in this session" and "Don't ever ask again". Then some sort of additional explanation and required extra user confirmation would pop up for "Don't eve...

Re: having problems applying hatch to an area

I have not downloaded the files as I still use SW2019.

I think it may not like the longer vertical line extending beyond the horizontal lines for boundary selection.

Have you tried selecting region as below and clicking inside the region?

Re: Base sketch not showing when editing other features

This is probably not the solution, but it's worth a check. image.png If you right click on EVxxxx-DMD01-F on the excerpt above and select Tree Display then select Show Flat Tree View does this move Sketch4 before Sketch1. If so it may be possible to drag Sketch 4 below Sketch1 and solve your problem.

Re: SOLIDWORKS pet peeves

Another pet peeve here: Cut lists are automatically activated when you make a sheet metal part. Regardless of your settings. So you start a sheet metal part & it will automatically activate 'Create Cut Lists Automatically' AND 'Update Automatically'. (Affects performance) You also have to manua...

Hi Ben,

In Document Properties under units I think you can set the dual dimension as below.
