@Jaylin Hochstetler My organization uses Epicor. I keep my distance, but am forced every so often to use it (less so now since I run SQL queries in Excel to pull information I need) and It's manageable. I hear there's a lot of configurability but it was setup well before I started. We started doing...

Buy a new one.

2 cents about 3DEXPERIENCE from me as VAR employee... I'll say as much as I can without violating NDA, but still from anonymous account, just in case. I am a software developer by trade. Started working with SW in 2015, was always in love with it, despite it's many quirks. As a developer, I have al...

The X hype was just raised by another magnitude. https://super.solidworks.com/ Truly cringe-worthy. And those are the people you trust to store your CAD data? Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, I scrolled to the end of the page and saw.........yes really.....coloring book samples. <()> Pinc...

What is the trick for getting the free training that comes with the community edition? I followed the instructions "How To Register' video on the download page and all I can see is a couple of free preview videos. I was never asked to enter the Promotion Code. The video also talks about regist...

YES! The amount of BOM control they offer just blows SW out of the country!

Weather looks like it's going to get a little cold, but not too bad. The leaves are changing colors this time of year...Winter will be here soon...

From there, a list of unread posts appear. On that list, in the upper left of each post is an icon to take you to the first unread post in that thread.

That's not weird, that's normal. You desktop and task bar are part the explorer.exe process. Instead of killing it, just restart the process in Task Manager. image.png Or, if you are using Windows 7 and don't have 'Restart' as an option, you can 'End Task' from the Task Manager and then while still...

If I'm exporting a bunch of files (dxfs or pdfs) to the same folder I use an input box where I paste my folder address into. Much faster than browsing for it every time. I built in a dialog that asks if you want to browse or enter the address. This way you can choose. Attached is an example you may ...

Hey Mike, I have this problem when I have the "SW Last Saved With" column turned on in file explorer and I'm moving files into the directory with those turned on. The only way to make it lower the CPU usage after is to kill explorer.exe and restart it in Task Manager. I've had this same t...

So important! I just realized that I've been doing this all the time in SW and cannot understand where I'm at. I have been RMB to accept so long in SE that I didn't notice it anymore. I don't even know how to accept something in SW unless going to the green checkbox. :oops: FYI, you can also press ...

Or instead of left click, move your cursor, and left click again to place the end of the line (which starts a new line), you could left click and drag, and release the mouse button when you get to the end. That keeps the command active, but doesn't start a new line until you left click again. Thank...

I have a love hate with the escape button. I mean I love and hate it so much so often that it's nearly sticking out the bottom of my keyboard. Also have one of the buttons on spacemouse as esc. Problem is the esc. button does different things in SW than it does in SE, sometimes. That said, I find m...

Very well stated rumpus . Here's the thing. I read something on some blog (https://dezignstuff.com/whats-the-difference-between-solidworks-1995-and-solidworks-2022/) about what's going on, and he got it mostly right. This thing that became worshipped is long gone. Solidworks the phenomenon started t...

In my experience: Setting unrealistic deadlines without input from those doing the work. Ignoring those users when they do ask. Undoing those decision once they realize it isn't going to work. ......now back to year 5 of trying to get this global PLM system implemented. o[ I wish I could like that ...

We do sheet metal but we don't have steel rolling capabilities.

B&M Welding Inc., one of our sub-contractors may be able to help you. They do mostly custom work and they have steel rolling capabilities.

I'll PM the contact info to you.

Isn't that like line-jumping? Like Elon Musk says, "Use the most direct line of communication possible, don't go through the chain of command. Any manager that enforces the chain of command will not work here." That obviously could be taken too far but he has a very good point. Communicat...

Yea, that search feature is one of the MANY poorly implemented features. I've had instances where if I clicked the little "x" in the upper right hand corner of the tree to clear the search SW just disappeared, no warning - one second it was there the next it wasn't. Instances like that REA...

I don't have much experience with it. mike miller knows more about it then I do. But from what I have seen and used it SE Sim is a lot easier to use. I never used SW Sim much because it was so difficult to use (maybe I'm just not bright enough ;)). As far as capabilities I would say SE Sim would hav...

I'm just curious about what CAD people prefer. When you're watching videos of CAD tutorials and you are unfamiliar with the interface, do you want to see high resolution (small detail) or low resolution (details look larger)? The first image is 1080p and the second is 720p. I like 1080p beings that...

I agree. There's better and more productive things in life to do other than bash another company's work or lack thereof.

Howdy everyone, just giving in an update to those interested as I haven't been much active the last month or so. I haven't had any recurring convulsions so that's a good sign but what they told me was that the waves in my brain were unknown waves but because of the seizure it is most likely a sign ...

Does anyone know what the ticket is to get the notifications to work over in the SWAMP? Or are they permanently broke? I am using Firefox and Windows 10.

It would be really nice to have a button in the "Modify Configurations" Dialogue to "Suppress All" and "Unsuppress All" (or "Check All" and "Uncheck All").

My apologies for not being clear on that. My question was about being able to link the cut-list properties(bounding box info) to the custom/config properties.

I mentioned Code because it is completely free. While I have Code installed, I do also have the full Visual Studio product installed and thus never use Code for SE macros/add-ins.
