Hi,I am a newbe and this is my first participation here. Have recently completed a moderately large assembly that has a fairly high bolt/ fastener count of various sizes and I was just contemplating the best way to produce a bolt list that I can forward to our supplier and thought I would ask how you manage this task and is there a way to automate this a little.

I have a doubt: Is it possible to create a Macro, Button or Instruction to generate automaticly a Exploded View where we can put the separation dimension for each component and the direction (an Assembly tube system for example).

Hi, I am trying to modify a part using a design table in assembly. Can this be done using global variables? I was told that design tables cannot drive part dimensions in assembly. Thanks! SolidworksAssemblies

To make a long story short when we have castings we will insert the casting part into an assembly. Then add assembly cuts to make the machining. I could save a lot of time making new configurations if I could add material. SolidworksAssemblies

Hey everyone! Is there a way in Solidworks 2017 to explode a multi-body part in an exploded view of an assembly? I cannot use the "reuse subassembly explode" button since it is a part, not an assembly. And also I found a solution but it only works in solidworks 2020 where there is a "from part" button under options but it is not present in solidworks 2017. SolidworksAssemblies

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

In an assembly I've created some equations, no problem sofar. Before i assign them i can edit them all with the 'edit all'option, very comfortable. When i asign them to parts within my assembly i can't change therevalues in the 'edit all' window. SW says the part is read only but as far i know it isn't.

Hi, in the past I was told to use Counterbore to embed the head of the screws under the Hole Wizard. However, when I chose Counterbore, the minimum size is M5. How come? I want to embed the head of screws like the following in the frames.

When I mirror a part in an assembly, I get a mirror which is also rotated. Command Manager>Assembly tab>Linear component pattern>Mirror components. Mirror part about Right plane. There is a message about resolving something but I dismiss it. (Mirror fails to show in the Feature Tree.) What have I missed? SolidworksAssemblies
