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!

Using SolidWorks 2016 on a Dell Precision 7520 with 24G RAM. I find this when creating a pattern in an assembly: I start typing the dimensions for the pattern and Solidworks tries to update everything with each keystroke. This makes creating a pattern very slow. Is there a way to turn off this feature so Solidworks won't try to do anything until I hit enter? SolidworksAssemblies

You probably love the Recent Document List in #SOLIDWORKS. Great tool for opening files fast navigating to their location and so much more. But did you know you could do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?

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

Hi I'm trying to use Hole Series to create a hole, but the size automatically selected appears to be too small. My assembly has a metal spacer with a M3 tapped hole and a plate. When I create a clearance hole, auto-size chooses M2.5 as the hole size even when the tapped hole is M3: Anyone know why Hole Screw picks M2.5 rather than M3? Thanks SolidworksAssemblies

I have an assembly which has been copied. The explosion steps exist but the models have not moved. I know you can insert the assembly into another a new assembly and explode it by using the "Re-use" function but I would prefer to resolve the problem assembly. SolidworksAssemblies

Hi, I want to duplicate part of an assembly but the parts of the duplicated one should be able to move independently from the originals. Also, if I modify the components of the original part, the corresponding components of the duplicated one should automatically be modified. Could you please let me know what is the best way to do this? SolidworksAssemblies

Hey folks, how can I hide some components of an assembly when in assembly drawing? For example, I have a ladder steel structure and I need to dimensioning its angle-irons but there are some checkered plate in its front. SolidworksAssemblies

Is it possible to pick a configuration of a part within a sub-assembly based on a component or sketch in the top level assembly? The diameter shown is the driving dimension The flanges are within the tool sub-assembly and are produced in set sizes. I'd like the flange configuration to be selected based on range within the driving dimension. Thanks SolidworksAssemblies

How awful is the chain feature in the explode menu? I first hated it in 2009, but I figured I'd give Dessault a few years to make it usable before I started complaining. SolidworksAssemblies

Hello, the question sounds terrible but I will try and describe it better. So I need an Assembly Custom Property to add part custom properties. For example I have 3 different parts in an assembly that have a custom property called number. The numbers are 1,2,3 I was hoping the assembly would add these and give me 6.

I don't know if this is place for this question, but heregoes. I am new to Solidworks and I am practicing assemblies. I have two flat plates, one will have four tapped holes thru it andthe other will have four counter bored features. My question is: how do I get the counter bores to be concentricwith the tapped holes in the first plate?

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
