    I have already applied service pack 2 to SW10. Now I see this about SW pulling it back. Should I/Can I roll mine back to SP1?
    IF so, how?

    Of course! What was I thinking? Thanks CBL! Natrually I feel like an idiot now.

    Ok Guys, I’ve got a problem with this part. I want to pattern Extrude2 around Extrude1 but nothing I try works like I want it to. I’m going for a “ripple effect” on the outside of my part. Seems this would be a natrual curve driven pattern but like I said - it’s not working for me and I don’t know why not. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    Just updated to 2010 sp 1. I’m trying to reference a drawing to a new model. I click on my drawing to highlight, then reference button, then go to double click my dwg file to navigate to new model and it does nothing? Am I missing something new or is it not working right?
    Thanks

    Well that is thouroghly dissapointing. Export to edawings in 2010 seems to loose the textrues I apply… Now I have to re-do the model in 2009 for a presentation…

    Gee thanks SolidWorks, nothing like the productivity enhancing features like these to have me practice my modeling skills again, the second time…

    Bah!

    Thanks Gupta, I’ve been through the help file looking for some use/purpose for it but have come up empty. Is it strictly informational or is there a way to use it somehow. I guess I’m unclear on what difference it makes.

    Let’s try this again. Actually saved it this time.

    Sorry Guido, I thought I had sent a screen shot with the shaft/face showing but evidently not. It’s a very simple extruded round on a planar face so it’s not that big of a problem. I was just curious if there might be a better way than what I came up with. Thanks for your suggestions though. I guess I’m still unclear about how SolidJott “uploads” work. I need to get that figured out.

    This might be a dumb question. I’m looking at a sample assembly file given to me by a customer. While in the assembly, I made a section view and clicked the green check mark in the SectionView Property Manager.
    Now my assembly is visually sliced away so I can look inside. Next I wanted to move the slicing plane of the section view to a different place. Can I reopen the SectionView Property Manager while still in a section view? It seems I have to cancel the existing section view and start over. I guess I never tried this before. Hope this makes sense.

    I’m having trouble with a design library part that I’ve been working on for a couple days. I just started introducing myself to the design library as a productivity increasing tool, and I see plenty of potential in it. I work for a company that has hundreds of different proprietary tapered (and non-tapered) threads. My boss likes to see these threads modeled in detail to provide to customers, and this gets rather tedious and can be time consuming when it is needed on short notice. I have managed to get one of our threads to work as a library feature and planned on adding configurations to it. I’ve zipped the library file and attached it, and I need help with Cut-Revolve2, which terminates the thread. This library feature works magically as long as I’m using it on the end of the tube that’s coincident to the right plane. If I try to place it at the opposite end of the tube, the revolution axis of the cut flips to the opposite side of where it’s dimensioned. This makes the profile cut through the part toward the O.D. instead of toward the I.D. Should I perform this cut as a sweep around a circular path?

    I am looking to create a 3 way pipe weldment, which for the most part is easy to get. Where the difficulties come in is trying to get the proper angles for each cut and the rotation for each cut.

    If one thinks of a railing that comes to a corner that is joined by two other rails, getting the consruction documents to communicate to the shop floor to let them know is also another task.

    I am sure that someone out there has run into this, but as of yet, I’ve not been able to find a true solution. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Regards,

    How can I add a custom size thread to my hole wizard? Running SW 09 sp3 standard. Also is there a way to copy the Standard ansi file to make my own custom file?
    Thanks
