Freebies for your subscription? ;) No, that's when they mess up and have to fix it immediately. The way it should work, if you buy a license in a year you get all the updates for that year. It's not like they are issuing new features. And they've introduced regressive bugs in SPs more than once. Th...

Sometimes, I wish SolidWorks would just throw me a licence so I could install it at home and play around with it while always keeping it up to date to report bugs to them as I find them. I could run my work set-up at home on the most recent version to test it out actively. Bring in some model from ...

I was able to duplicate it by editing the inserted model feature, turn off "sketches", then turn them back on. It loses all references to the sketches even when the sketches are turned back on. Well, that's just asking for trouble. I've never done anything like that. Usually, it would be ...

Hmm...I never use Advanced Hole Wizard and I get the same error: image.png I have my calloutformat file on the network. I moved the one from the install directory there and still get the error when I launch Advanced Hole Wizard. What's up? When I launch regular Hole Wizard I don't get the error with...

I will forever sing the praise of the S Key Menu in the bottom-right of the Mouse Gesture wheel. image.png Having to release the button on top of the icon would feel like a burden because as noted elsewhere you then need to pay attention to where the cursor actually is as opposed to just making the...

All I know is that once it loses the reference, and I recreate it, it's likely to lose it again.

I'd sketch in the new part upon a plane in the SSP. If I really wanted it in the new part, I would create a reference plane in the new part coincident to a plane in the SSP. Good luck. I know that relations to sketches in the SSP get lost. It's a pain to fix when it happens. I'm guessing external s...

Hey @Alin,
I see you've got a thread going about importing stl files. But, I didn't see you comment on this thread. Looks like Dennis found a solution. But, I figured I'd bring it to your attention.

Although I know about using the Shift key, I almost never do use it, though I work with "transparent" parts often. To me it's almost always easier to rotate the model with my 3d mouse so there's not another Part under my cursor. Yes, I know, I could use the Shift key on my 3d mouse so I w...

I'm supposed to be leaving for a one week fishing trip on sunday, but we just got a phone call that the road leading to where we were going up north was washed up because of rain, so our trip just got cancelled... We'll figure something out to still leave for another trip somewhere, it's just, very...

That's a touching story with a happy ending.

I'd guess @josh, @gupta9665, or @artem would be able to answer that for you. Seems like a dated version of .NET to be tied to...But, there may be a reason.

Back in the olden times I had a phone jack beside the toilet. I got tired of the phone always ringing while I was there taking care of business.

I have a mount for my kindle and reading glasses next to the tp roll in my bathroom thanks to my 3d printer. (But the paper is mounted in the proper direction.) No food or drink next to the toilet for me. Idk, ever seen what a cat can do to a roll of tp on there in the "correct" direction...

3D weld is hit or miss. I think some use it for weld weight calculation. Most of the time I can't get the weld I need. For that kind of thing, what about just adding fillets manually? I guess it depends on the complexity of the weld and part, but when you don't have a good tool, you have to do what...

Hi All, So maybe my memory is failing.... but it turns out if you: - add weld beads to in your 3D model (Insert > Assembly Feature > Weld Bead) - import them to your 2D drawing views (Insert > Model Items) - change the weld properties in the 3D... The weld notes don't update in the drawing....so th...

The simplest way to handle that would likely be to have multiple configurations in the model. Reference whichever is appropriate in the Assembly, which would be reflected in the BOM. This method also has the least potential for errors, lost links, mates, etc when switching from one to another. This...
