Hi Deepak,

I have SW Pro 2009 SP 4.1

I ran a basic motion study (as instructed.) then went through the prompts but it would give me a fail or error when running the simulation.

Thanks a bunch!
James

Yes you can test the assy. For testing assy you need SW Simulation. What is your SW version and type.

The product I am working on is going to be made out of extruded ABS plastic. The extrusions are intended to slide into eachother. Is there any way to test an assembly of 5-6 extrusions locked together and put force in the center of the entire assembly? It would basically be a square, but with ridges. OR do I have to do a new drawing mocking an assembly to test it? ------------ --------- --------- ------ To Post a message, send it to:   solidworks@eGroups. com To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: solidworks-unsubscr ibe@eGroups. comYahoo!

To: solidworks@yahoogroups.com
Date: Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 12:53 AM

Problem is, with nothing holding the sketch spline in place (such as a
ref to another object), it ends up moving to Neptune or some similar far
off place on the screen after I've modified the plane it was on. What
I'm doing now to minimize the damage is this: Right before adjusting the
plane's angle or location, I copy the sketch spline to the clipboard.
Then I modify that plane however I need to - after which, of course the
sketch spline turns to spaghetti -but hah! I still have an un-skrewed-up
one on my clipboard. So I delete the one SW messed up, and replace it
with the good copy. A kind of Rube Goldberg-with-a- Clipboard
work-around.

I'm still hoping someone else has a better method, though. Hello?
Anyone?

Hi;

Is there a way to link a note to a Configuration Specific Property?

I can do it if I attach a note to a view of that configuration but I want to do it without that view & the note is free-floating.
I have tried Description@@<configuration>@<assy_name> with no success.  "Description" is defined in the Configuration Specific Properties.
SWX 2009 SP3.0

Please ask if I have not clarified enough

TIA, DD

Hi all!
i am new to this group and hope to gain valuable experience and new friends though this user group......i have a question, i have SW 2009
i just installed it on my computer and everything works great! except for when i try to go on 3d content central from SW, all it does is try to load and then never comes up on the screen it says that there is no internet connection but that is not true because i usually have internet explorer running in the background and that seems to be working fine, is there some setting i need to allow solid works to connect to the internet or something?...is this something someone can help me with?...........


thanks

Unfortunately, no. They're very fussy around here about that sort of
thing, and in this case, you'd be getting an almost completed casting
part that's around 11 megabytes or so in size. I'm very busy right now,
but maybe I can make a simple example part so you can see what I mean,
within the next couple of days.

The part/assembly has multiple configurations, each configurations has a Description in Configuration Specific Property.
The way you describe only works for 1 configuration.  I am looking to display the Description of each configuration (may not have asked for that specifically in the first email, sorry).
Think of it as kind of a BOM but reflecting multiple versions of the part/assembly, like a Design Table.

Thanks for your help/interest so far, hopefully this will help you understand what I am looking for.

----- Original Message ----

Start a new drawing. Now insert a view of the part/assy containing Description as a Configuration Specific Property. Now start a note, click on link to property. Select "Model in view specified in sheet properties" and from the pull down menu, select description and OK. You are done.

If you delete all the views from the drawing, the will change to $PRPSHEET:{Description}. And if you add any part/assy view containing Description as a Configuration Specific Property, the note will get updated.

If you don't want to show the empty note or it being displayed as $PRPSHEET:{Description}, then put the note in the sheet format. For this, right click on the sheet and select Edit sheet format. Now add the note as described above. Just make sure you have a minimum single view in the drawing containing Description as a Configuration Specific Property.

I wish this solve your issue.
