Today is my final day at current company. We are moving to another city as well. I am leaving after almost 5 years. I am out of this job too. We(wife and me) will work for some kind of translation department. I will try to stay on the forum , because i dont like to stop to learn, and to be honest , ...

I have used android app "CAD Assistant".
It can import STEP files and it works fast and awesome.

So , i found something interesting. When i supressed one of the features (closed corner) everything worked - all errors were "fixed" and i could recreate new ones. I tried to edit feature , and i noticed that gap was 0.01 mm. After i changed it to 0.1mm everything worked. image.png 0.01 is...

Good point,but It is checked on both computers.

What a nightmare So by this lead here: https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexperience.3ds.com/#community:yUw32GbYTEqKdgY7-jbZPg/iquestion:3QaclSbWQiyK3oUKgXQAuA I manage to resolve the issu after a cople of hours trying.

Been following this to see what the outcome is. I'm not an IT guy put this is my $.02.If you have logged into the other users PC as you and it works, has the other user logged into your PC as themself and what is the outcome? If it works on yours with the other user logged in there is something in ...

Yes.
Unfortunately it wont work.
Biggest suprise to me is why this part is loaded normally at PC's of my colleague who have exactly same settings as me, and on my PC it shows red feature tree.

Yes , and i dont believe it would work on another PC if sketch is open

As i said , all settings are the same.
PC is same.
Driver is same.

We will try to reset settings (i dont have any permissions , so that is why IT must), and probably we will contact our VAR

Lapuo

Yeah i probably should.
Not me , but my IT

Lapuo

I tried , with all possible options.
I tried to recreate feature.
SW says NO

Lapuo

Sketch is on the other side (face which is not visible)so direction is ok.
Anyhow it does not work in any direction no matter what depth i choose.

Lapuo

I opened file and after CTRL+Q feature tree is red and yellow. First error is with cut extrude option and it says "the feature cant cut the body" . I cant add any new features because of same error. Same file on another PC - no errors :D Any ideas what went wrong? Pc's have same confogurat...

Here is little bit of my experience I dont have faculty so basically i am insufficiently qualified for this kind of job. I started as machinist after my high school and i advanced to position of mechanical engineer where i am right now. I worked at three companies , and i presented myself good enoug...

Lapuo

You have same option in System options - (Drawings) - Performance
Did you try to clear it there?

Lapuo

It is future version for me , so i cant open it , but you need to be careful with sketch patterning library features. I cant pattern library feature and sketch pattern at same time , BUT if i pattern library feature first and SW accepts it. than i can go back to edit that feature and add sketch patt...

Lapuo

Hey AlexLachance ! I did not follow this thread until now , and i completely missed stuff you are dealing with. I am sorry , and i hope that you will be ok. I am glad that scans show nothing , but i do understand that it is kind of hard to fight with something and not knowing what it is. Hopefully y...

One challenge NX can not solve is the availability of skilled NX users. I just spent 4 years doing NX. New users were not adapting as well as they ought. Recruiting NX talent is not easy. While you dislike SW for obvious reasons, you have a lot of compelling reasons to continue with it. Most notabl...

2018 is a safe choice because of the following features: bounding box, mirror sketches around planes, tab & slot, three bend corner reliefs 2018 did not introduce too many new features & was fast & stable. But there are features from almost every version that I REALLY do not want to mis...

Lapuo

Or you can model everything in cm or mm and write in a drawing that all dimensions are in meters.

I am registered member (obviously :D ) but i am more lurker than active at writing etc.. I like to learn and i am to slow to answer eventual problems of others. I remember a lot of names from old forum , like Glenn, Matt , Alex , Dan etc.. I feel like i know you event i dont :D Big thanks to everyon...

Lapuo

To be honest , i can see difference between pictures , but it is so small i dont care

Lapuo

Why bother to use convert to sheet metal?
You can model this with native sheet metal tools , and probably you will get better results.

Lapuo

Biggest slow down is hurrying up.

Lapuo

Maybe you can check grabcad.com

I am using bottom up , same procedure with mates in assembly.
For weldments i like to use multibody.
Sometimes i use multibody and save bodies external (this method always worked for me without any issues)

Lapuo

I also remember using this , and then i stopped for some reason which annoyed me , but i cant remember what it was.
I am annoyed because i cant remember it

I used it today , and i works well , so i guess i will continue.

Lapuo

I am really excited about Csys because it can replace couple of features with one , if it is going to work properly. Last seven words of sentence above is reason why i am scared as much as excited. This is some kind of fusion between planes , ref geometry, move-copy bodies , 3d sketching etc... I do...

Lapuo

This is(for me) currently most annoying thing in SW.
Before this couldnt be added , and then they fixed it wrong
SW does not like ISO

Lapuo

Learning how Solidworks functions in practice is time well spent. Trying to figure out why certain things are the way they are is often (maybe even usually) an exercise in futility that will only lead to frustration, hair pulling, and feelings of despondency . . . and maybe drinking too much.

Thanks , that means a lot.
I am much better at understanding that speaking it. I can explain what i want but i need to go with many alternative routes

Lapuo

I never know you could do this. Thanks!
Still dont get it why its behaviour is different from rectangle , polygon etc..

Lapuo

I know that SWX has this "slot" relation which will be broken if you delete slot entity. I can understand that for SWX slot is one entity , but i cant understand who thought of that?! Why slot cant stay slot if i make one of its entities "for construction". I cant make that with ...

Lapuo

When i saw question i thought YES , and than i saw @Glenn Schroeder response and changed my mind , because what he wrote totally makes sense,

Lapuo

Can you use relative view?

Lapuo

Our blank size on drawing is always just for reference.
Programmer is one who is responsible for that.
Actually , software which is used for bending will calculate it.

Lapuo

For me , drawing you attached and step file would be enough to make (or evaluate cost) mold design

Lapuo

To me, when speaking of weldments, using SW weldments is just significantly more efficient, effective and easier. To me three are several advantages to working in weldments. 1) One sketch can do multiple pieces and controls, sizes, locations etc 2) No mates 3) All parts are naturally "In conte...

Lapuo

Only reason why i am trying to re-attach is because i am curious will it work (usually it does not)
If i am under pressure , or have tight deadline , i will never try to re-attach , deleting and adding new dimension is easier.

MJuric wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 3:15 pm You can do the same thing with the a multi-bodied part.

That is what i said .... right??

I completely agree with your response to matt , and as i said i am far more efficient with multi-bodied parts than asssemblies.
My english sucks , so i believe i am getting misunderstood by others.

That's one of the features of this forum. When you PM someone, it stays in your "Outbox" until it is read by the recipient.

Yeah eventually i figured it out.
Thanks for explaining

Lapuo

Maybe i could help.
I tried to send PM but it is stuck at outbox

Lapuo

2018 was most stable and fastest to me.
Currently we are at 2021 it is much slower , but it has some nice new features which make me happy.

Lapuo

matt wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 10:39 am Just out of curiosity, how do you sort through the featuremanager with all of the features for different parts in there?

Folders , comments , renaming features etc..

Lapuo

I like to model welds because sometimes i am too lazy to add symbol in drawing and write all numbers.
Than SW proves me than its better not to be lazy , because i always end up deleting weld beads and use callouts anyway

Lapuo

I am using MB sheet metal approach , and even worse i am using save bodies to make assembly all the time :D (it just work for me , although i know other have issues and bugs with that) I am using a lot of weldments , but even without it , i still prefer MB with sheet metal only. It is easier for me ...

Lapuo

We would need to change chief of production because he is the only one who wont give up on paper.

Everything here is done with 3D model , and only purpose of the drawing is to check dimensions , which never happens anyway

Lapuo

I have no need for renderings. Did it couple of times only
I would like to learn it properly

Lapuo

English is not my native language , and i believe i pretty much suck at speaking it , but honestly i dont see benefit from language packs
I would like to have option to translate content , because my brain works on 120% while reading it, and even like so i fail to understand it sometimes
