Hello
I was forced to change the computer and therefore the operating system from WIN7 to WIN10. Well, after installing SW 2012, a problem appeared - there was no FIXING OPERATIONS command in the INSERT menu. Has anyone had something similar and maybe solved it? It is also not possible to add icons with commands to toolbars. There is also no REALVIEW option, but I don't need it to be happy ;-)

Hello Krzysztof, so the move/copy is missing? I remember move/copy not acting well...and since your on Windows 10, make sure you're running compatibility mode. https://help.solidworks.com/2012/englis ... atures.htm

Have you tried using the "Run as Windows 7" thingie?

Hey Paul, no, I mean fastening operations, as in the illustration below, normally there is a Fastners Operation submenu (eg grove/lip), but I don't have it. Also you can't add commands to the toolbar! Yes Alex, I set the compatibility mode to Win7 but it didn't help. But I have more information. I made this feature on an old computer and when I opened it on a new installation in Win10, a strange icon appeared, which suggests that there is something wrong with the permissions/license? - I have Professional
Thanks for your interest.

PS
Didn't such an icon appear when importing surfaces from, for example, Rhino?

Was it an Addin?
Mould?

Is it a Macro Feature

\No, this is not macro or add. This is standard SW command - Groove/Lip

@Hansjoerg This icon means macro?

Can you see the toolbar?

Yoouuuuu!!!
You're great!!!
I googled for two days but forgot about YouTube!
One time more. THANK YOU!!!

Inventor user save another SW day

It looks like something went wrong on install.
Did you import old settings after install?

Hi Frederick.
No, I just installed it by disabling the antivirus before installation. When I noticed that something wasn't working, I uninstalled it with the registry cleaning option and installed it again. It didn't help. My VAR didn't help either. Only the changes from your link gave the result. Thanks again.

SW doesn't setup registry after install. Don't ask why.
It'll setup on first start and you HAVE TO close it to write to registry.
So don't do anything on first start.
Let it load, shut it down.

You can try export setting on first start and see what you got.

Wow! I didn't know about it. This is very valuable advice! I think I'm waiting for the next repair of the SW installation
Thanks again.
