Sorry to not respond sooner, I have been out of country.
Thanks so much for your fabulous tutorial video. It seems that I did not make myself clear as to what I was looking for. I need to know how to add a logo that I had to model separately and saved on my disc. How do I get it superimposed on a separate model of a sphere that I rotated. Do I cut and paste only the sketch, or import the model as I would do an assembly? If it is cutting and pasting the sketch, how do I go about locating it on the sphere where I want it? I am familiar with the procedure that you explained on the video, I need to know how to get the logo and the sphere together.(two separate models)
Thanks again, so much,
Regina Alden

Hi Everyone.
Can I insert an assembly into an assembly and still retain movement via limit mates in the inserted part ?
-
Ben
Once the sub assembly is inserted into the top level assembly. Right click on it in the feature tree and select component properties. In the dialog that comes up choose ‘solve as flexible’ and click ok. Voila!

I am in hopes that one of you fine wizards can assist me in a method that I am totally unfamiliar with. I have modeled a round sphere that I must attach (raised) four ornate letters to on the sphere. I should be able to do that ok, however I never had to put letters on a model that I had to model and extrude separately because they are custom letters. Please share with me the method by which I import and place onto my existing sphere model. Do I import the sketch itself, if so how do I move it about to get the placement on the model that I need? Do I need to cut and paste it? If someone would take the time to give me a detailed procedure, I would be in your dept.
Warmest wishes,

Your SolidWorks does work like that look up search in help. ‘SolidWorks explorer’ is another program separate from SolidWorks does work very well for what you need.

Hi everyone,
Why is my 1st drawing sheet different from all the ones following? I have modified the title block links but the changes I need only appear in sheet 1, all subsequent sheets appear as before the changes(SW2010)
Thanks
-
Ben
What you are seeing here is ‘sheet format’ and ‘sheet template’ You have the sheet format made but you did not save the sheet out also as a sheet format. Look it up in Help
-

Sorted !
Thanks Ben

I have a drawing of a pretty simple part (.sldprt)
I added a piece of hardware to that part. Now its an assembly (.sldasm)
How can I replace the views of the .sldprt in my drawing with the .sldasm without hading to totally redo the drawing
-
Ben
Ummm if you add hardware to a part you still get a part file. did you make an assembly and then add the hardware? If you add the hardare directly to the part the views should be updated properly. In the part file hit insert-part and choose the hardware, place it appropriately and voila!

Greetings,
I have a feeling that this is going to be embarrassingly simple, but can anyone please tell me how to show balloons that I’ve previously hidden in a drawing view? I’m using SolidWorks 2009, if it makes a difference.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Gary Skinner-

Shot in the dark here but View>Hide/Show annotations ?

Hi Ben,
I was right. It was embarrassingly simple.
Thanks very much.

Another tutorial video from UsingSolidWorks on splitting up a part and saving the multi bodies out into an assembly in a few easy clicks. As well a contest for a iPad. You could get a 1 in 25 chance of winning it. Pretty good odds if you ask me http://usingsolidworks.com/members/ipad-contest-and-a-free-20-min-solidworks-tutorial-video/

I am using a rolling disc as a pivot. I need to constrain the disc using a pin near the edge of the disc rather than at the centre. How do I roll a part? How can I use the path of the pin to create an extruded cut in another part? The disc only turns through about 90 deg.

Do you have any screen shots we can look at?

Video: Tutorial Vary Pattern in SolidWorks
Vary pattern is a super handy tool. EXTREMELY finicky but if you use it right it can save a ton of time in modeling.
The link mentioned in the video is here: Vary Pattern in SolidJott
The registry entry you are looking for is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2009\User Interface\Dialogs
Sting value = uiCirPatternDlg_copts
Value date = tfmexps_0_esa_360.000000_esc_1_gp_1_pc_1_dexps_359_The correct, default value for this string should be = dexps_359_tfmexps_0_esa_360.000000_esc_0_gp_1_pc_1_
You can simply delete this string value to fix the problem; it will be re-created the next time you use the linear/circular pattern feature.
