  Hi all,

  I have a problem with alternative with DriveWorks.

  I have a master project and 4 sub-projects who are slave of my master project.

  In my master project, I select my 5 sub-projects to be generated.

  Lets name my sub-project General, Part1, Part2 and Part3.

  In my General project, I have three “dummies” assemblies (part 1, part2, part3). When generating my master project, everything goes OK… the dummies are being replaced by my projects part1, 2 and 3.

  But, the problem is that after the generation, DW still have the “Part1-Dummy” , “Part2-Dummy” and “Part2-Dummy” to generated. So when I’m using auto-pilot, the server goes over and over again and generated a reports every seconds that I have to delete manually. (I have a macro for doing it).

  Do I have this problem because I’m replacing “dummy” assembly with “projet”? Or it’s because my Part1, part2 and part3 projects are on the same level that my General projet?

  Hope someone can help me.

  Note: I’m still using DW SP6

  SolidWorks background processes?

  I’m somewhat new to SolidWorks. I’ve found recently that sometimes SolidWorrks (2009 SP1) will just launch and start “dissecting” in the background.

  What is this? How do I stop it?

  Screenshot: (It also will open parts - files that I don’t recognize as mine.)

  I was using the fillet xpert and now it is grayed out or went away as an option. What gives? What makes this happen. Is it because I made soem surfaces solid?

  It’s Here! It’s Here! Raise the Banners and Sound the Trumpets It’s Here!

  SolidWorks help when you need it where you need it.

  

  The SolidJott plugin for SolidWorks is here. Download this FILE here install and have fun. You will need to create a account here at SolidJott, it is quick and painless, and when you open the addin in SolidWorks you will need to login to post to the SolidJott help center but otherwise you can look around without logging in. Attached is a quick screen capture of what you will be presented with in SolidWorks. Note: Remember to switch the view preferences to ‘SolidWorks View’ on the right hand side of the window when in SolidWorks, if you cannot see the right hand side there is a slider at the bottom of the pane to allow you to scroll over to it.

  Here is the premise you need help or can help someone with a SolidWorks problem but switching between windows such as SolidWorks and your email client, to a web form, a word document, or other software to capture the question or to offer a answer can be a painful laborious task. You can quickly loose context in what you are trying to capture in this method. Using SolidJott however you open the sidebar tab, login, and voila! Help while in SolidWorks! without loosing context! You can then communicate with some of the top experts in SolidWorks community right within SolidWorks.

  But there’s more… It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries… Ok maybe not fries just yet but future developments will include A button to send a screen capture to the post and a button to ‘pack and go’ the file(s) you are working on currently and send to post to make things even easier in describing problems or solutions.

  This addin will be provided for free to anyone who would like the service.

  When will Solidworks allow for me to link my part’s custom property revision with the drawing revision table’s current revision?
