Hi
I am working with solidworks 2009 and when i configure hole wizard and sign in and set up a custom file ,when I add a tapped hole M105×2.0 to the list and save it. The save doe’s not work and when I re-open hole configure it has disapeared.
After trying evry option I can think off for a conciderable time I wondered if any one could point me in the right direction.
Thanks jason
Jason,
Looks like you have us stumped. We are not ignoring you but really dont have an answer for you either. Yet….
[i]“[q]when i configure hole wizard and sign in”[/i]
What are you signing in to?
After creating the custom database, did you set the File Locations to look in the place it was saved?
Hi Ben,
I need to model a helical rooster crown!
The file contains the profile of the part and the helix it needs to follow. The part needs to end up 3mm thick midplane about the helix line. Hope you can help.

Not sure if this is what you want, but you can open the file and see the steps I applied.
Hope this helps.Attachment - 2009_7_2_12_57
Thanx for the model, but not quite what i am looking for. Hard to explain but the finished article is a 3mm thick part made from the profile and then twisted around the helix. It is one segment of a scroll for an agitator shaft.
Just wondering if your issue was addressed? If not maybe we can help further.
If you edit the sweep you can change how the profile follows the path…
Beta help! We need people who are brave, want to be more productive and use SolidWorks to use the new Vuuch beta. The feedback we are getting is great. We want people to use the beta and tell us what new features are needed. You can download the add-in at http://www.vuuch.com/download/solidworks. Ben thanks for letting me post this here.
Sorry for my ignorance but could you explain what exactly it is / does?
Of Course! Vuuch connects your Design Discussions to your design!
Next time you have a question about a feature in your design select the feature, right-click and create your message and invite people. As people reply the answers are delivered to you right where you asked the question, in your CAD file. Check out the demo at http://www.vuuch.com/solution/demo or a review done by Solidsmack http://www.solidsmack.com/vuuch-review-design-discussion-3d-review-tool/2009-05-05/ or SolidWorksHeard http://solidworksheard.com/podcast/76-collaboration/142-swh-ep213.
Vuuch automatically organizes your discussions by connecting the discussion to what you are working on. So instead of searching your inbox, dragging messages into folders or sending another email, Vuuch someone and make your discussions part of your design history.
People love it. Check out what people said at SWW 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8CPayFylVY&feature=channel_page.
Is it possible to assign shortcuts to my extra mouse buttons? For example, I would like to assign the shortcut bar to the mouse button close to my thumb. I’ve noticed in the shortcut menu that all of them use the keyboard and the shortcuts for the middle mouse button for pan, rotate, and zoom aren’t even listed. I am using Windows XP Pro, SW 2009 SP3 and a Logitech MX3200 mouse. I do NOT use SetPoint because, for some reason, it causes the middle mouse button to become useless in SW.
This can be handled buy the mouse drivers generally. Problem is that SolidWorks and Logitec amoung other mouse drivers rarely play well with each other. Here are some mouse related topics I have found online

I know these are not much help to your question but still might be of help to others I am going to experiment with my mouse at home to see If I can map the buttons.
I am moving some files from one directory to another using “pack and go” Once I do that when opening some of the drawings I gat the following error message…..(the following sheeets contain drawing views that are out of date with their external model(s) sheet 1
Can you help
I am unable to open your .doc file. Ironically, it gets an error message of it’s own. “out of date drawing file”
Guido
Are you sure the original assy and related drawings were fully updated before performing the Pack and Go?
Did you check all references were correct in the new assy and drawing before trying to open?
Hi, Just joining, looks like an awesome wealth of knowledge is here. One thing i was looking for in particular but could find nothing, was information regarding David 3D Scanner. I just finished watching a vid by Ben where he was explaining how well it works, obviously due to time limitations he didn’t show how he could pull the scanned part into SolidWorks and then Modify the surface, although it looked to work rather well in SketchUp. Does anyone have experience using this home built laser scanner and SolidWorks?
Cheers,
Michael
Using a free package called meshlab http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/ you can load the file from David and save it out as STL which will import into SolidWorks. There is a limitation to the number of tessellations that SolidWorks can handle though. I forget what the number is though
Ben, I just saw your post at the SW forum. Things are getting interesting. Can you send me an email? I ask because I’m interested (of late) in what experienced users are doing regarding support, maintenance, and their VARs. I’d like your perspective if possible.
Thanks,
Jeff
For those that are wondering what this is all about go here:
I would love to comment further but I am not sure I should here. This is not the place for business politics. This is a place to get help. Besides it is just as likely I would put my foot in my mouth here without seriously debating the proper wording. I am not into that tonight… Go make your own judgements. (If you do not have an account at the SolidWorks forums you can make one, it is just not all that easy, sorry I cannot fix that for you)
Ben
I have created a screw and now i need to make the hole that the screw threads into. I notice now when i do the assembly and collision detection when i move the object it is colliding with the threads. What is the best way to make a hole with threads to match the threads i just created on a screw?
I typically don’t model threads on standard parts like nuts and bolts. Saves a lot of rebuild time, and you don’t get the collisions.
Best is to use the cosmetic threads for representing threads on shafts as well as hole.
why would you model threads?
Next to tags it says this: “Tag it (9) “. Is that the number of threads I’m subscribe to?
If so, I’ve been trying to unsubscribe and I get this error.
“You may not access this page without a valid key.”
No that is the pre set up tag for the item when you use the addin. If you type in the field things like Spring, emboss, video you will find other related posts with that tag ( For those out there that do not use tags you should it makes searching for answers easier on the site ). This is one of the niggly bits I am working on here. To save time I am compiling all the little problems with the site and once I have all of them I will work all of them out at once instead.
Currently there is no way to unsubscribe. I can do that as an administrator if you want me to. I was asked before to put in auto subscription for posts one makes by several and you are the first to say you do not want it. I will see what I can do
Ben
No, the auto subscription is fine. Not really a big deal. Was just curious that’s all. The ability to unsubscribe to certain threads would be a nice feature later but certainly not a necessity.
I love Solidjott and appreciate all the effort put into it and the willingness of others to help!
Cool. Thank you for the compliment! I will put it on my list of things to do in the future then.
I upgraded to Sp 3 on my destop then my subscription expired. My laptop is still on Sp 2. Is there anyway to get Sp 3 on my laptop as well?
If you had downloaded the files then you can try to install the SP 3 on the laptop. Also take a look here: http://www.solidworks.com/sw/news/167_6591_ENU_HTML.htm
I used to have windows vista home basic. realizing that solidworks just did not function properly on this os I jumped on windows 7 beta and was pleased. Now I am on windows 7 rc and everything is still working fine but microsoft is offering its home and pro versions for half price. Does anyone know if these will run solidworks ok or do I have to fork over top dollar for the ultimate version? (which is the rc version I am running right now)
Is there any way to download and try home to see? I would imagine that Pro would be sufficent. But I am not sure.
I can’t alternate from isolate to show hidden component!
When I isolate certain components and than I switch to show hidden components
to shown others, everythings disappear!…
This is happening after installation of SW09. Lot’s of coflicts…also with DWGeditor
Can you put down the exact steps one after next when you are using isolate . A video will be great. Or if you add any pictures. Also what is your SP for SW09.
I use Isolate frequently, but rarely use the Show Hidden Items option. However, some quick tests on various assys worked perfectly.
If you are having issues with SW09, perhaps you should either repair or clean re-install.
does anyone know if you can and could explian to me how to add data to the value/text expression pull down
I would like to add default txt but not sure where the values are pulled from
thanks
There is a text file named properties.txt. Search for it in the Program files > SolidWorks folder. Simply open it with any text editor and save. Create a copy of it before editing it.
that is property name column i want to add to the txt expression column
You can simply type the data. You can type in some default values and save as your template so that every time you open a new file, you wouldn’t have to type again. For adding anything extra other than given expression, you can use a simple macro.
Check this macro : http://sw.fcsuper.com/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=110

Update to all.
I have been having some issues with the comment system. I am working on it but some things have been getting filed in the spam. I am doing my best to correct this so be patient and sorry for the delays in the comments sections

Are you trying to show tread? Much like making a helix feature in SolidWorks rarely is it worth it as the size of the file and load on the processor is not worth it. One resource I use is 3d Content central and search for the item I am looking for and download the item or an item similar and see how others made it.
i.e. search for tire at 3d Content Central yeilds:
