I have stored a chosen directory to system registery. When I run my macro, it gets this value from registery. Then there is a button to change directory if one wants to set a new location. --- Public Const myRegKeyPath As String = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyProgram\Path" ---- Function R...

Here is my first macro that rotates a view in a model isometric to left down. I needed it to get isometric views to my drawings. After finding how macros work, I was able to make some more complicated ones. ------ Option Explicit Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim model As SldWorks.ModelDoc2 Dim vie...

Thank you for your messages! I have never done Flex and don't know if I can make it.

Lofted Bends might be an option, but need to play a bit with it. Not sure if it works for many round helix thoug.

Yes, Lofted bend looks working!

I have a sheet metal spiral and need to get it flattened. Can you help me? Is it possible to flatten?

Tapani Sjöman

We are still in SW2022 SP4.0.

Have they repaired the BOM -failure that was presented at 2022 SP5.0?
2022 SP5.0 Error

Tapani Sjöman

Same problem here.
SW2022 SP4.0

Tapani Sjöman

I was wondering why my drawings looked odd and by accident noticed that my Color Display Mode was activated by accident.

So thought to share in case someone else is facing this.

SW 2022 SP 4.0.

Tapani Sjöman

Well, don't know what went wrong, but now I can do it! Got some help from our VAR and found the right link again .. uuh!

Tapani Sjöman

Thanks, Alex, for your symphaty. I can enter the download -page, log in to SW-support, but my download -option is locked and can not access downloads.

Tapani Sjöman

New update: Can not access to the download area any more. This is pain!

Tapani Sjöman

I'm having one critical problem with SW2022 SP5.0. Can someone test if it is only me or is it a real BUG? I have same kind of Hose Assemblies (own file each) listed in BOM. They used to be in one line, but now each Hose Assembly takes own row, even if the setup is to collect them in one row (same na...

Thank you, Ron!

I should cut a surface element, but normal cut will not make it. How to cut a surface element?

An update: Don't know what happened, but I finally succeeded to login into new system and download SW2022 SP5.0. Hope it will be possible for future updates too.

Tapani Sjöman

Can't find downloads any more. Where to look?

Tapani Sjöman

Tried to download, but got an error: "Active subscription service contract required .."

Anybody else got this and what is wrong?

Tapani Sjöman

Thanks for quick replys! Hose assemblies are bit complicated, while need to keep these flexible. If not virtual parts, then need to save each hose assembly with a unik name to keep them flex. And can't use them in another assemblies either. Hmm.

Tapani Sjöman

I'm building a Grease Piping System with multiple hose assemblies in it. I have for example 4 identical, 400 mm long hose assemblies with 90° elbow in another end. I have made these assemblies virtual and I use external links to get second end to the right position. Is there a better way to make thi...

Got an interesting solution from SW userforum: https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexperience.3ds.com/#app:X3DMCTY_AP/content:community=yUw32GbYTEqKdgY7-jbZPg&communityType=community&contentType=iquestion&contentId=jJpZ9KMRRr6gFMhgOREJAQ&contentUri=swym%3Aprd%3AR1132100503382%3Aqnaqu...

Tapani Sjöman

Thanks Alex and Dan! Good to get your value points in praxis!

Tapani Sjöman

Found one small component that caused all the trouble. Supressed some items from that part features and now my big assembly drawing works great again! One out of 2950. Heh.

Tapani Sjöman

I have set both values to 25 000. I don't like Lightweight -mode.

Tapani Sjöman

Thanks Alex for your message! There are 2950 components in my assembly. Many of these are not upgraded to 2022. All files are in the Vault and most of them has been approved so can't upgrade these. Just wanted to hear if others have had this kind of problems and how did they solve it.

Tapani Sjöman

Got a new workstation with Quadro RTX 4000 but the problem still exists. SW2022 SP 4.0

Tapani Sjöman

I have quite big drawing (3 sheets from a large assembly) and can't tick the "High quality" -option on with some views. If I tick it, it will automaticly come back to "draft quality". Anybody else having this kind of problem? What's wrong? SW2022 SP4.0 / Quadro RTX 4000 / Driver ...

Tapani Sjöman

I'm having some problems with Quadro M4000 with SW2022. Does anybody had also and how to solve? I know it is not supported, but it is a good card so should be doing fine still! If I save a drawing, some views are dissapearing and now could not tick "High quality" -option on in views. It po...

Tapani Sjöman

Thanks, Deepak! All clear now!

Tapani Sjöman

Added some rows to the macro and looks better now: Sub Init(Optional dummy As Variant = Empty) Set Map = New Collection Map.Add CreateMapValue("T1", "Sheet Metal Thickness", "") Map.Add CreateMapValue("W1", "Bounding Box Width", "") Map.Add...

Tapani Sjöman

Thanks, Deepak!

Macros are always interesting! Need some time to study this one. It looks running, but must modify to our needs if this is the way to go.

Did not understand Sheet<1> in your property -input. So manual property input did not work.

Tapani Sjöman

Can anybody upload a part, where this works? Can't get it working and don't know how to link Bounding Box -dims to properties in sheet metal parts. I'm using SW 2022.

Tapani Sjöman

Thanks, Alex! The problem comes with "High quality" -option on. I think I must live with it while the problem is only on the screen. Prints and pdf -savings are still ok even if I can't see anything on the screen!

Tapani Sjöman

Today noticed that if I make a Corp View, it will keep the view visible.

Tapani Sjöman

Hmm .. This is veired indeed. Sometimes it works but sometimes not. Have not found a workaround or reasoning for this yet.
--
Updated my graphics driver and adjusted max GDI value as 16000.

No help, problem still exist.

Tapani Sjöman

On the left drawing after ctrl-Q and right same drawing after saving it.

Tapani Sjöman

I have detected veired behaviour: if I save a drawing (SW2022 SP2.0), some views will change "empty". If I tick "Draft Quality" -option active in the view, it will be looking good after saving, but the print (or save as pdf) is no good. I'm downloading SP3.1 now and hope it will ...

Tapani Sjöman

Thank you, Tera! This helped me a lot!

Tapani Sjöman

When I select a component from an assembly tree, there shall pop an origo for moving or rotating that component. I don't like it. Can I disable that somehow? Could not found a solution by myself.

Tapani Sjöman

I have done SolidWork Web Training for Routing, but must say it did not really help me very much. I did build up a system with a PDM with templates for hoses and tubes we normally use. Also a lot of joint components with CPoints and size definitions. So got everything ready and started to make pipin...
