I can see where the scale feature would make sense, but it is not manufacturing smart. So it just sees the whole body not the features when scaling. My suggestion would be to utilize equations with a global variable for the thickness of the coating. Then you can add this to each dimension for a spec...

Can you post the macro you are currently using?

Before starting on this one (may have existing macro that already does this), what version are you running?

Just to be clear, are you asking how to create child configurations from a design table?

Also, in regards to the error, what happens when you use the pull-down to select a value rather than inputting a value?

I have something that is very close that would not require too much modification. Just need to know what version of SOLIDWORKS are you running?

If you right-click on the features in the tree and select "Dissolve Feature" it will break the link to the original CAD file.

I have seen this a number of times. It is a failure of the installation manager to access the toolbox/hole wizard database or folder, or a previous installation causes the issue. Typically you need to repair the installation to resolve this, but on rare occasions it requires a full uninstall and rei...

Along with the missing parts (unless they are internal to the assembly), please make sure to note the version and service pack you are running.

I agree with Sophos as a great AV that works with SOLIDWORKS. But it is not a home or small company software. These days most AV is very similar, the biggest thing with SOLIDWORKS is to ensure that you can add exceptions via file type extension (*.sldprt, etc.) and/or folders. This way it can ensure...

Here is the one I have.
