My VAR just called me to tell me that there was an update on my Dashboard(which there wasn't) saying that Dassault required more information. I told him, do you understand the problem? He answered Yes. I asked him have you talked with them to try and understand what clarification they need? He pret...

Good to go-ish. I haven't encountered anything major. There's still some little graphic issues but they aren't major, just somewhat annoying. The language bug is still present but that won't affect you since you're running the english version and not La-Version-Française I haven't encountered anyth...

Bradfordzzz

ok ... so where are we with 2023 ? working? Issues? good to go (ish)? anything major to watch out for? Like .. you cant make drawings anymore or some crazy thing?

Bradfordzzz

Couldn't those people just have e-drawings and print from there?

When working from home during Covid, I used my 65" 4K tv. I had no issues. Worked perfectly.

why am i not surprised.

My wife says bigger is always better
I misunderstood what she said, and now I'm not allowed pizza anymore
but I digress.

To answer your question .. I like Dave's suggestion. Cut out some cart board and see what it will look like, but I think it would be fine to go to the 32"

Bradfordzzz

Lets see how this ones goes.

Bradfordzzz

I'm not really convinced that there is even a benefit for us to switch to this version at all this year.
I don't really see anything of any real significance worth the risk of the upgrade.
Will be the first year we have actually skipped since I started working here 18 years ago.

I'll still probably wait for SP5.1.

That's great that they aren't showstoppers like it was for me.

LMAO ... Yes Sir.

I just hope the issues you have don't impact you like they did to us. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I still can't bring myself to even try it yet.

Ditto

2 things specifically.

1.) does mirroing actually work this time?
2.) is pack and go still all $@#&ed up? or is it fixed?

Bradfordzzz

You're right. It shouldn't. But it does. At least in 22sp4. I made 2 comps envelope, then suppressed one of them. Selected both, and changed back to non-envelope. The suppressed one became resolved. Did the same thing with a couple subassemblies and their rigid/flexible setting. Ended up with both ...

Bradfordzzz

Really appreciate you all working thru the problem with me. Helped me quite a bit. Thank you all.

Bradfordzzz

This will select all envelope components at any level. You should then be able to toggle envelope off. Sub main() Dim swapp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim swDoc As SldWorks.AssemblyDoc Dim swComp As SldWorks.Component2 Dim vComps As Variant Set swapp = Application.SldWorks Set swDoc = swapp.ActiveDoc vCo...

Bradfordzzz

This works perfectly. Thanks for this solution Dan !!

Bradfordzzz

Can you provide some images please? I've never encountered enveloppes that couldn't be toggled off. A bit more context would help in perhaps getting more solutions. You can see that the Envelope toggle box is greyed out here. Thats because in this assembly, and in a subassembly is a component that ...

FYI: There are 3 separate SPRs requesting the ability to select envelopes via Advanced Selection SPR542629 - Cannot select assembly envelope components through the Advanced Selection criteria SPR666548 - It should be possible to identify and select envelope components with advanced selection or wit...

Bradfordzzz

There's this from a quick google search on changing a part to an envelope part: https://help.solidworks.com/2021/english/api/sldworksapi/change_component_to_envelope_example_vb.htm You'd need to figure out which "True" to change to false and then wrap it in a loop to go through the assemb...

Bradfordzzz

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.

Bradfordzzz

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...

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?
