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
Solidworks crashed Then tried to recover One of the parts in assem would not load because it reckons that it is a future version Im working in 2015 SP3 and I don't think I created this part in the future? Anyone else had this problem? 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
I am working on a stair assembly with a hinged handrail. thehandrail sub-assy has an angular limit mate on the hinge. I haveinserted it into the top assembly, made it flexible. It worksgreat... but then I save the assy with the handrail in the uprightposition and next time I pull it up the handrails are down. Anyideas?
Hi, I have an assembleyof Rectangle which has four parts and i want toput this Rectangle in a circular pattern. I am able to put them ina circular pattern but,the edes are touching each other. I need toput in a circular pattern as if they were placed on a cylinder. Please help me out.
After exiting isolate some components of an assembly arestill hiden. The graphics card is a FX570 and the driver are downloaded from SWsite. Is there any explanation for this?SolidworksAssemblies
Howdy, Is there an method of using a moving part in an assembly to produce a mated-cut (with clearance) as either part is moved into/through the other? SolidworksAssemblies
Created step file of a assembly in Creo 2.0.When we opened the step file in Solidworks it displays a message as "No solid data in file", but the step file is able to open in creo 2.0 . Please suggest how can we open in solidworks. 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 everyone.I have two parallel panels (vertical) and i 'd like to add a third panel (horizontal) with a coincident mate on two panels . In one panel its OK but when i try to make coincident mate to other panel i have an error . How can i add the second mate? (if its possible) Look scr(13) Thank you for your time Kostas 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.
I did a pack and go on an assembly with a lot of suppressedcomponents. The pack and go included all of them. Is there a way tosend someone (i.e., a vendor) only resolved parts in anassembly?SolidworksAssemblies
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
The question page does not correctly paint in my browser, however the forum software will not upload a screen capture in png format I have been asking questions since 2008 and this is the first time I have encountered this problem. SolidworksAssemblies
It`ll be very useful. I have a lot of bolt assemblies and each time it is necessary to find it in tree. It wll be like in Mirror-Component feature now SolidworksAssemblies
