    Who has a Jpg or zerox image of the SWW2010 Model Mania contest model? I asked SW Suport Rep in Partner Pavillion. I would have swiped the challenge photo to allow others to try it but decided not to. If anyone created the model and has the part on a flash drive could you post an image or create a pdf so that people can work on there own way of creating the model. I think I found a bug while creating mine.

    Hello,
    Please I have a little issue to Sheet Metal:
    -Who control the length in sheet metal part when you edit a wall with Edge-Flange? the length setting in tab Flange Length OR the dimensionset up in sketcher with Edit Flange Profile!?Thank you.
    Regards,

    Sorin,

      Typically, whichever you set last. If your sketch fully defines the flange and you don’t make any changes to the flange length, then the sketch. If you sketch is not a simple rectangle, your sketch should also be the defining force in such case. However, when you sketch is a simple rectangle or retains portions of the originally generated rectangle it is possible to override the sketch driven dimension via the flange length box. Best practice, pick one place and stick with it.

    i am using solidworks 2010. does anyone know why the center dimension option is not available on diameter dimensions? i want to place a diameter dimension inside a circle but i do not want it to be on center because then it is over top the center marks. in 2009 you could rmb click the dimension > select display options > uncheck center dimension.

    any ideas?

      Jason -

      Check SPR 523643. This was tagged as a “low” customer impact. I personally would tag it as “PITA”
      My workaround is to go to Doc Properties and de-select “Center between extension lines” then place my Diameter dimensions. I’ll be glad when they fix this….

    • jaraak 8:13 am on February 8, 2010 Permalink

      thanks for the reply 49again! i would agree with you, customer impact is PITA

    • 49again 8:40 am on February 8, 2010 Permalink

      By the way, Jason….thanks for your In Context session last Monday. I specially liked your idea of adding a current project directory to the Design Library location….that’ll save me MANY mouse clicks in the future…..

    I was very lucky to get Jon Hirschtick to do a interview for me on the floor of the partner pavilion. For those that do not know Jon is the founder of SolidWorks and about as geeky as they get.

    I am making an assembly with a hydraulic cylinder. I would like the shaft of the cylinder to freely move in and out but be constrained by the start and stop of the stroke length. How do I do this mate?

    Some live coverage of SolidWorks World 2010 from Lou Gallo of SolidWorks Heard
    There will be posts of live coverage from the general sessions in the morning and I will be posting some video of what I see here as I get chances to post.

    Also there is some BIG BIG news coming from SolidJott and SolidMentor! We will be giving away a super cool prize of a SolidWorks licence ( This will be the cost of a U.S. seat if you are in another part of the world like the U.K. I will be giving the cash equivalent of a U.S. seat towards a seat of SolidWorks in your county, this still is a several thousand dollar prize! ). Stay tuned for the entry details!

    I remember seeing a video on how to detail assembly parts…what I have is an assembly that I’m trying to create a drawing for that allows me to break the assembly into it’s sub-components and be able to detail each one on the same drawing… this would be quite common on weldment assemblies to detail each member…

     

    • Chad 7:36 pm on January 30, 2010 Permalink

      Never-mind..I found the video finally…it was the relative view function…which didn’t work for me all that well…so I have to do it by inserting the individual part files onto the sheet for dimensioning…

      Thanks Anyway

    Hi ALL
    I have been getting some yellow cells in configuration manager? what dose this mean?
    thanks k

     

    • m.abdelmoniem 7:38 am on January 26, 2010 Permalink

      can you post a screen shot

    • kbonk 11:59 am on January 26, 2010 Permalink

      This is what happens when I try to configure feature, of a mateAttachment - yellow-cells-screenshot

    • Brian 9:58 am on January 27, 2010 Permalink

      Without seeing the file, it’s hard to say. I don’t use the Modify Configurations dialogue, I use design tables instead.

      Do you by chance have a design table in this file that may be controlling those highlighted configs?
