I've been looking for a good model of a 75th percentile human being to sit next to a machine for scale. Does anybody have anything? No, it' doesn't have to be exactly 75%. I pulled that number out of thin air.

Everytime when I closed the Solidworks, this error will appear and I cannot close it by clicking the OK (It will show up again and again). I have to close it by opening the task manager and ending the task. This is quite annoying. Could anyone help me with that?

I was trying to switch my SolidWorks from a premium license I had to a student license I want to use. I uninstalled SolidWorks and deleted some remaining folders relating to SolidWorks. When I installed the student version I can't click "Install on this computer" since it is greyed out. Any help on how to fix this is appreciated. SolidworksGeneral

Hello guys! Today, I was studying the forming tools and unintentionally deleted the forming toll from the "ribs" folder on my pc. As such, i would like to know if someone can send me the folders of the default formings tools or send only the forming tool in question. Regards, João Ferrão. SolidworksGeneral

On one of our computers, SolidWorks 2020 freezes instead of bringing up the dialog box when trying to delete a part. This happens on multiple drawings, but only happens with a certain Windows user profile. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, renamed folders in Appdata and Appdata\Roaming. I've also done driver updates on the computer.

How do I trim away the bottom of the circle sketch using the tangency points of the intersecting lines? I'm trying to do it with power trim however I can't select the intersection point in relation to the circle. It always thinks I'm selecting the line end point. SolidworksGeneral

I'm experiencing a really bad memory leak with both SOLIDWORKS 2019 SP5.0, 2020 SP3.0, and 2020 SP5.0. Once the software starts up, it consumes an addtional 130MB of RAM per second, which gives me less than a minute before my computer bluescreens. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and is there any way of stopping it? SolidworksGeneral

In this SolidWorks tutorial at 2:20, the guy giving the tutorial cycles through normal views very quickly. How does he do that? I know how to change view orientation, but I don't know whatever keyboard shortcut that is to "set your orientation." Any help appreciated Change View Orientations In SolidWorks - YouTube SolidworksGeneral

Hello, I've installed SW2020 SP3 without big issues, but when I open SW the Wellcome window appears and I can select a file but when I want to open a file or create a part the system doesn't answer. Only the icon in the windows bar is in the screen. There is nothing in the screen, just the Windows' wallpaper. Please, anyone has the same problem? SolidworksGeneral
