In my day job, I have to switch between Unigraphics, SolidEdge and Inventor - gets very confusing. I have had a license of SW since 2004 and always found it to beeasy to pick up after an absence. I just loaded SW 2009 and have noidea where to start. Am I over-confused by the other three softwares, or is SW losingit's intuitive user interface.

We are making a change to the tolerances in our title blockon our drawings template. I am using SW2007 SP 2. When we changeour drawing template will that update all of the drawings wealready have in the system or will that change only be applied todrawings created from this point forward?SolidworksGeneral

Often when designing a part, we know we want "steel", buthaven't decided about a specific form of steel, or just don't carewhich kind. So, we just copied one of the steels, and just renamedit to say simply, "steel". But, a number always gets appended, so it actually gets named"Steel (21)". I can't delete that "(21)" part.

I'm trying to useLive Section. I haven't messed with it up to this point.Does it work in assemblies? There's an option to view Livesections while in the assembly, but I haven't been able to pullthat off either, i.e. I have a Live Section in a part. The help does not specify whether it should work for parts orassemblies.

Is there a way to change the name of a part in the browserwithout it affecting the part name itself? For instance, if thepart number is Y-1000 and it's description is "Base" and I want tochange it to "Base Plate" can I easily do it? This is helpful in large assemblies. Thanks in advance!SolidworksGeneral
