Recently I have taken my CSWA - Simulation exam. In the exam one of my question is asked to compute the displacement and stress at a point in Y - direction, where I got a negative displacement. Do I need to enter the value with a negative sign or do I need to enter with the positive sign.

Ordinate Dimensions incorrect sometimes? Since I was using positional tolerances for a lot of features I wanted to use ordinate dimensions to make the drawing less cumbersome.

How many times do you see a great thread get trashed or hijacked for various reasons and I'll take the "Stand" and say I'm the worst for doing that.. So when I'm acting stupid tell me to trash it here, get it?? Rants - Cheers - Pet Peeves - or your Aunt Lilly, bring it.. (More then likely the dumbest thread anybody started, but I tried to keep it stupid, stupid) - The Forum Moderators rules still apply, no obscene pics, raunchy language and personal attacks, those will be reported and deleted if

Do you know why the "Create Body from Deformed Shape" command is not found even though I did a clean unistall and reinstall of SolidWorks? If I right click the results folder, I should see the command but it is not there as shown below.

I would like to make a macro for 2 things. 1: I would like to save my drawings into PDF and DWG. This is the easy part, the more complex part that I would like to insert some static characters into the file name and a dynamic part, which should come from one of the custom properties fields of the model shows on the drawings.

I am really excited about this macro I have been working on, it is traversing the assembly and compiling a BOM with Raw material numbers (custom property) or part numbers based on a few conditions, and for quantity either pulling cutlist total length in feet or a number of times the component is used in the assembly. A few things left to do with this, adding all like raw materials up instead of writing new lines and telling it to save as a comma delimited CSV for our inventory management

So, we have this discussion about impressive SW tricks: Let's make another thread to capture the little things your co-workers/clients/customers do with SOLIDWORKS that bring thoughts of violence. Extra points if there's nothing technically wrong (see item 2 below) with what they've done but if you were in charge of the universe it would earn them a one-way trip into another dimension.

I have one data card set up for all my files (sldprt, slddrw, step, pdf, dxf). When I run a covert task (sldprt ->dxf) I want the data card variables to get transfered to dxf file. I managed to do this by converting slddrw->pdf and sldprt->step, but can't seem to get it work with sldprt->dxf convert task. I did add all my variables in the Task window under File Card (see image).
