Jacomuller,

Did you already remove the user? Have found that to be helpful at times

Re: SolidWorks Feature Propertymanager doesn't reset

I am sure I am just not looking in the right place for the setting, I also had seen folks asking for this not too long ago, just don't remember them implementing it, I haven't seen anything in the SW knowledge base either...yet

SolidWorks Feature Propertymanager doesn't reset

Folks, Were are on SW2022, seems that every time we create a feature, i.e. fillet, the settings that are chosen stick for each new created feature of that type until you change it again, even after reboot. for example, if we pic a face fillet, close the fillet command allowing it to take affect.

Display of failed features in an assembly when selecting a part

Folks, We are currently using SW2022 SP5, and have started noticing that if you select a part that has rebuild errors while in an assembly, there is a drop down showing them. Doesn't matter if you pick in the feature manager or select the part within the assembly, see snapshot below. I have not been...

Re: Turn off bounding box preview of parts in assemblies

Folks,

Still have not found a way to turn this off, odd that it is only on certain files, and no document settings i can see to change for those particular assembly items...

Any other thoughts before I contact support?

So yes, I do have the "Enhanced Graphics" junk turned off, however, please note this does NOT happen to all parts/assemblies, currently only seeing this behavior in one set of assembly and part files, on top of that, there are 2 sub-assemblies that do not have this behavior even if opened ...

Re: Turn off bounding box preview of parts in assemblies

Thanks Alex, but not that setting, in a nutshell here is what is happening, in an assembly, as we highlight features in the feature manager, the highlight bound box shows, but when we select a part or sub-assembly the bounding box does not go away...Also, I can open a couple subassemblies and this w...

BTW, this does work properly in SW2022, which we are upgrading to end of next week, so i guess this question is moot now, but still curious

Record Screen Capture doesn't show all options

SolidWorks 2020, when users here try to run the Video Screen capture the lower button selections do not show up, has anyone experienced the same? We cannot scroll down the window in any way: See the attached image

Re: Saving and closing SolidWorks suppresses new and last changed features

Hey Mark, Thanks for the feedback, I saw you posted on this a long time ago on the old forum, appreciate the input. Again, the oddest part is that if I open the parts that do this, unsupress them and save, close again and reopen all is well for a time....eventually it may come back, but not always o...

Part location Building Practices

Folks, I know there will be differing opinions, which I will keep mine to myself for the time being :D , When your engineers are designing parts, do they build in relation to 0,0,0 of the world, OR...do they build based on location in an assembly, so that 0,0,0 of every part in the assembly are at t...

Re: Saving and closing SolidWorks suppresses new and last changed features

Will check, but doubtful, it isn't all at the end of the file or rollback, there could be multiple (10-20-30....) active features in between the ones that are "autosuppressed" ...... maybe it's a command they never told us about :O

So as far as PDM, that isn't the issue, good thought but no, this has been happening many years even if we turned off WorkGroup, or currently log out of PDM.
