Hi to all, I added a path mate, but as you know, during the ascent or descent,if simulating the rotation, the pin goes into collision with thequarry. Do you have a solution to remedy the problem of collision ? Regards.SolidworksAssemblies

HI, I hope you can help out there! does anybody know how tore-align an assembly to the correct orientation regarding theorigin? what I mean is, on rendering my assembly, the whole thingis 180 degrees rotated and upside down! when it comes to shadowsetc. it looks like the assembly is hanging from the ceiling!

When I use to insert a part into an assembly it wouldautomatically position it so that the origins were coincident. Nowit seems to position it at the center of mass. Is there an option to change it back to aligning the origins? SolidworksAssemblies

Sometimes when I change the transparency of a part it is notsee-through even though the icon claims it is suppose to be. Other times a part remains transparent even when I have shiftedback and I have to give it a nudge with rebuild. SW09SolidworksAssemblies

Often when saving my assembly, and perhaps when Saving As (in orderto try something risky on the copy) I receive a message about otheropen documents, but I only ever have one document open at a time. Consequently I don't know to respond to the dialog. SolidworksAssemblies

Alright I need some help on this one. Is there a way to write a Macro/Code to automatically import partsinto an assembly and have the part snap to a mate reference alreadyset up? I wrote a macro to bring the part in but for some reason it doesn'tsnap to the mate reference. Please help.SolidworksAssemblies

Hi, I have an assembly where i want to dissolve a sub-assembly insideit, but every time I attempt to do so, Solidworks 2009 crashes onme. Any tips on how to do this successfully or is this another SWbug? I have tried setting everything to resolved/not lightweightand that doesn't help. -TimSolidworksAssemblies

Is there a list of other variables you can use with equationsbesides dimensions. I saw an equations where someone was able tocontrol the number of instances in a linear pattern with anequation. I can't find a list of all the other things that can be controlledwith equations and what the proper syntax is for each of thedifferent variable types.SolidworksAssemblies
