OK, what I found was that, if you multi select components and ALL the components that you have selected are ALL envelope, then you can toggle off envelope for all of them all at once. image.png image.png The problem for this assembly is there are many sub assemblies inside of sub assemblies, and th...

Thanks Matt .. I've been looking for one, but havent had any luck there either.

So there is "sort of" a way. If you use Assembly Visualization, you can add a column called "Excluded From BOM". (by default, all envelope components are excluded from BOM). Then you can sort by that column. Which puts all the envelope components at the top of the list. Unfortun...

Bradfordzzz

Just remove the envelope. Currently have to go in each subassembly and select all components ... then go to component properties, and un check the envelope. This customers assembly is huge, and everything is individually enveloped. Hoping there is is a way to select all assemblies with dependents an...

Bradfordzzz

Is there a way to make envelope items standard components for all components in an Assembly, that has many components and subassemblies with many components? All files are currently enveloped.

Thanks,
Mark

This is definitely a big deal.

SW 2023 SP2.1 is available now. Is anyone using it yet?

Just wondering if there are any noticeable broken features.

Bradfordzzz

I wonder if everyone "Changed" to a different software .. how well they would "embrace that change"?

Bradfordzzz

Works fine with one very minor change.

Change this .... If Not swComp .GetSuppression2 = 0 Then
to this ..... If Not swComp.GetSuppression2 = 0 Then

There is a space there that needs to be removed.

It doesn't matter how complex it is. It just need to work.
The programming, sensing, control, feed back on any drone is very complex but a kid can fly it.
The SWYM on the other hand stopped many engineer, designer.
It's truly disruptive.

such a great statement.

The whole point of moving to browser is to remove the complexity of any "application" or "platform" from users. A unified UI and controls. This SWYM thing Innovation is nothing but Disruptive. Yea, tag this. This SWYM thing Innovation is nothing but Disruptive. (this is so accur...

That's really good to know. Thanks for sharing that. How is the rest of it running?

345 SPR's were fixed for this release.

This doesn't let you download a full install of 2022 SP5 that I can see. it only allows you to update from older service packs.
Im trying to run a repair .. but it needs the original media to do so .. anyone have an Idea of how to get that?

Surprisingly, Office 365 is one of the things that actually works in Solidworks 2022.

Eager to hear everyone's experience! We're still on 2019 SP5 but I'm hoping to move to 2022 SP5 so that we can keep up to date with CustomTools also but we're very "cautious" about it. Don't blame you at all. You know how many issues we have had. Everything that we had issues with seems t...

Is it possible to have any metric holes be automatically called out as dual dimensions when making detail prints?
Its just one of those things we have to manually select each time, and i would love to be able to avoid doing this.

It is just infuriating that the idea of updating to the latest software to eliminate bugs / workarounds comes with the GUARANTEE that there will be new bugs and issues, frequently worse than the problems you were hoping to eliminate by upgrading.

Let's clear up a few things. SW use OpenGL ALL THE TIME. You CANNOT turn it off. So if your video don't support OpenGL, SW can't use it. The ONLY OpenGL setting in SW is: Use Software OpenGL. It means: use software emulation to bypass hardware (graphic card). Which means VERY slow graphic. It is us...

Have a look at "Hole Series". This uses the Hole wizard, while ensuring the holes match up, and also allows you to add the correct size fasteners.

I did some testing on SP4.0 this afternoon. I cloned my database and upgraded all of the parts to 2022. So far, I haven't come across any weirdness to put me off upgrading.

We are currently with a "VAR" that is more of just an "R" we are totally missing the "VA" portion from them.
