I design Vacuum forming tools that require a plug assist tohelp draw film down into cavites. The plugs need to have the sameshape as the cavities except the male radii on the plug will belarger and the plug needs to have a offset of anywhere from a 1/16"to 1/4" depending on the tool. The way I am currently doing this isin an assembly I create a new part and start offsetting thesurfaces of the cavity. Next I extend and trim the surfaces sothere are no gaps and knit into a solid.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone uses the PDM M-Files to manage theirSolidWorks data. If you have/do, how does the history feature workwith drawing/model parametrics in SolidWorks. For example, if Iwere to rev a drawing by changing some dimension, will the historyshow what that dimension was before the rev? Any input isappreciated.
This is possibly a cross-thread of other questions asked. Can you get SW explorer to search sub-directories? It seems as though you can tell it which folder to look and that'sas far as it will go. I have common plates and want to do a where used through the systembut it will only search in the specified locations.

Is there a list of other variables you can use with equationsbesides dimensions. I saw an equations where someone was able tocontrol the number of instances in a linear pattern with anequation.

I am experiencing problems with photoview. With certain assemblies big and small my photoview crashes andsays: the instruction at"0x0037c207"referenced memory at "0x05100200" thememory could not be "read" this occurs when i apply certain materials for example "painted=> dark powdercoat" to certain assembly's. The materials thatcause the crashing differ from assembly to assembly. I don't think its a performance issue because i worked with thesame materials on much more complicated assemblies
