For all those that just want to view the videos or webcasts that I have done in the web version look for ‘Categories’ on the right hand menu and those in the SolidWorks addin click the ‘Categories’ tab. Then choose ‘video’

Does anyone know why my view icons would be greyed out? It only seems to be in a certain assembly and view all relations is the only one not greyed out. Any ideas?

What version of SW and are you in a part, assembly, or drawing? Finally do you have realview turned on of off?

Chris Serran
Where are they greyed out? In the View drop down menu or in the HUD display?

I’m in an assembly and using SW08 SP5. It is greyed out in both places. And it is that way with realview on or off. For some reason view sketch relations is the only one not greyed out. But I can’t even get the sketches to show up. It’s just specific to this assembly. There are 2259 parts in my assembly and large assembly mode is on. I have a Dell Precision T7400 with dual Xeon 3.2Ghz processors and dual Quadro FX5600 cards (one is disabled) 4GB of ram without 3GB switch, and running Windows XP. Thanks for the help.

The culprit sounds to be large assembly mode. By default, LAM turns those off.
Tools, Options, Assemblies, uncheck “Hide all planes, axes…” -

Thanks for the quick reply, that solved it.
Thanks Ben, for a great site.

I can’t seem to get annotations to “attach” to views and follow them around. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes an annotation gets attached to a view that I don’t want it attached to. Can somebody explain the procedure for doing all of this correctly. SW2008
Thanks-
Chris Serran
When you move across views you may notice that a box highlights around it. This means whichever view is highlighted is activated.
Whenever you insert an annotation it will be attached to whichever view is highlighted.
You can right click on a view and select “Lock View Focus” this will keep that view activated and any notes inserted will move with that view.
A view doesn’t have to be locked to insert annotations, although sometimes it helps. -

KALJAM, as Chris states above you are having a view linking issue. The best way to be assured the annotation goes into the view you want it to be associated with is to double click the view which activates the view. You will see a pink box around the view. Any annotation you place while the pink box is on the view will be attached to that view. This also works for placing annotations and notes on the drawing sheet as you can activate just the sheet and not a view. Once you are finished placing annotations, just double click on the sheet format and the pink box will disappear. Hope this helps,

Web view and SolidWorks view. To all of you wondering why the site looks really poorly laid out. There are two views one for the Web and one for when the SolidWorks addin comes out. If you look to the right side bar you will see “View Preferences” choose Web View for your browser and it should default to that next time you come here and soon you will be choosing SolidWorks view when you get my whizzy addin for this site
