ok ... So I was finally able to get 2022 SP2. Tried to do the mirroring again. same failed result. I did a side by side with 2021 SP5.1 on one screen, and 2022 SP2 on my other screen I mirrored the same details, in the same assembly in both versions side by side. i verified each and every setting at...

So the link just takes you to the normal download page? I think Frank is correct on a SP2.1 :( Unfortunately, yes .. just brings me to the normal download page.

Did you read the screenshot you posted? image.png Early visibility means it isn't available to the masses yet, only those who signed up for Early Visibility.

That's probably the best advice.

Maybe the Easter bunny will drop off some chocolate Service packs this weekend?

I received this email from Solidworks.

But when I follow the link ... i still only have SP1 as the latest.

This is really disheartening.

Mate, I've seen you around this, and the old pre-swamp forum, for some time.. and you are definitely not stoopid..! And so.. fair call. And a good descriptive example of this being useful.

SPR 1228145 - Pack and Go assembly does not reference components that are renamed with Select / Replace or from the column 'New Filename'. It's implemented in SolidWorks 2022 SP3. So you all have to wail a bit longer. Its really quite amazing how many broken things they can pack into one program. A...

Same here. still not there since it was posted on the 11th.

Anyone that can access it feel like downloading the full version and sharing a drobox link for the rest of us that cant get it?

Bradfordzzz

Our VAR confirmed that they don't have access to SP2 either.

Just keep waiting .. just keep waiting .. just keep waiting ... waiting ... waiting

Still not showing up for me .. WTF!

I ran Installation manager, and also checked the downloads in my portal. Still nothing.

Does it take a while to roll out to everyone?

Thanks for the heads up Andy!!

I just ran the installation Manger, and it hasn't made it to me yet .. but I will check first thing tomorrow morning.

Its not in the customer portal either.

Bradfordzzz

Our VAR had informed us that the Mirroring has been addressed and resolved in SP2.
Now we just need to wait for that to get released.
Hoping its sometimes soon !

Bradfordzzz

I am genuinely sorry to hear this. TBH, I'm actually glad I made the move to 2022. I have not experienced the Mirror bug mentioned here. (I've never liked or trusted mirror in assemblies.!! I only use it for things that are not mission critical. ie, visual references only. Any serious or important ...

Hi Glenn, I'm unable to see the example you pasted in or attached. Can you give it another try and I'll confirm if the appearance is correct. That's also unfortunate news about Pack and go.

This new "enhancement" would explain why mirroring is broken: http://help.solidworks.com/2022/English/WhatsNew/c_wn2022_parts_mirroring_about_two_planes.htm?id=427cd3461ff34d588f74f4da90f6eb51#Pg0 That's a really great catch. I didn't realize this change. I'm still hoping for a quick fix,...

Bradfordzzz

I typically create configurations in the sub assembly for left and right side. Most of the time none of the mirror options give me the positioning I am looking for. For me, it's easier to skin the cat a different way. I would agree ... but this is a function that worked in 2021 ... its only now in ...

Bradfordzzz

Other than mirror in assemblies, what else is borken? The ONLY mirror feature that works consistently for me is mirror bodies.

I don't see that SP2 is out yet. maybe they are waiting to fix the mirroring before they release

You guys have convinced me to upgrade to 2022 as time permits. I'm not terribly concerned about the minor bug here or there. (If I hit on one that affects something I do daily that might change.)

Multiple Jobs on multiple computers all with various hardware.

I just had another Meeting with our VAR and he confirms the issue.

We recorded with Solidworks RX for further analysis.

Would you please describe the issues you encountered?

Absolutely. I'm hoping it will be a hotfix ... I really hope we don't have to wait for the next service pack.

Better yet ... I hope there is an easy work around, or some silly setting that is affecting it.

Frank_Oostendorp wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 5:26 am Just a minor issue. Is it mirror in sketch, mirror feature in part, mirror part in assembly or all of these?
All work fine in SolidWorks 2022 SP0.0.

Mirror feature in part seems to be working, but mirror parts in an assembly and mirror sketch in assembly have issues.

Bradfordzzz

Be advised !

* Mirroring is broken in Solidworks 2022 SP1 *

Our VAR is investigating further now.

So ... we took the leap this weekend. Today is day one.

So far I have crashed twice opening a file that opens fine in 2021 Sp5.1.

gonna give it a week and get feedback from all of the designers. I will let you know our findings.

But, to be fair, 2022 is no worse. And I find I am crashing a lot less..

Thats very helpful information. I am hoping to crash less .. thats for damn sure.

2021 SP5.1 ... which i why i want to switch so bad ... which is also why i am so hesitant.

I was hoping the 2022 would at the very least be better than this train wreck 2021, but I'm thinking it might be better the devil you know.

How is this working for you?

Wanting to take the leap ... but nervous.

It took 5.1 Service packs for 2021(and its still broken) ... who's taking the plunge with 2022 at SP0?

Good morning,

Is there a way in Solidworks to have all of the sketches automatically merge into a single 3d sketch when importing customer data?
Out customer data sometimes come in with hundreds of individual sketches.

Thanks

For anyone that might be waiting for it.

This is how the macro ran. Worked great. I should have made a backup and didnt.
forgot to get that one before the forum changed over.

Bradfordzzz

Hi Eddy,

I still haven't found it.

The way it worked ... you select the circle at both end of a cylinder along with the cylinder face, and the macro would add the knurl between the 2 circles on the face. it was very handy and looked way better than adding textures.

Bradfordzzz

I remember seeing a knurl macro on the old Solidworks forum.
I've never really needed it until now, but damned if i can find it on their new shitty forum.
Any chance someone has one that you can share please?

Thanks
Mark
