I knew I remembered doing it a while back, so for all of those previously asking, this is how to add and remove completely hidden custom properties without SolidWorks (using DM). http://www.angelsix.com/cms/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=305 Luke Malpass AngelSix (SolidWorks Tutorials and Books) BatchProcess SolidworksApi macros

So, is there anyway to modify the Solidworks built in WeldSymbol creator? We have an older weld symbol standard that we stilluse on our drawings and would like to support it in the automaticcreation of our weld symbols. Problem is, SW calls it outdifferently, and not to the AWS standard we use. Anyone have any tips on how to do this?

Hi I am contracting so recently purchased a Dell M6600 Workstation for use on client sites when they don't have a spare workstation. I wanted to install SW2009 as this is the version my current client is using. Have installed SP0 Ok from CD and upon downloading SP5.1 and unzipped the files it does not install. Is there any workaround that will let me do this please?

I think we are asking the same question. I would like to pick, say 5 points on this spline and move them. You can not box the points and choose them, as far as I can tell. It would be similar to something called "pick walking" in other programs, and maybe possible in Solidworks in the Surfacing/Sub-D portions.

Hey everyone I created a simple visual programming GUI for SolidWorks using our PUPPI toolkit, and used the server feature to export the part to an Augmented Reality environment as it is being modified by the user. Let me know what you think - video below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scLJOlFS5bE SolidworksApi macros
