Re: "in context" part not loading automatically

If you change the setting to automatically load referenced files, that should help.

Re: How to enable "Thread class" in Hole Wizard Property Manager

I totally understand your frustration. To enable the "Thread class" checkbox in the Hole Wizard Property Manager, you might want to try using the `swWizHole.ThreadClass` property

I totally get where you’re coming from. Keeping the aspect ratio constant while varying the chord can be tricky.

Re: Fun with PDM Add-in versions

Haha, sounds like a wild ride! I’ve been there with the version mix-ups too. Those vault views can be confusing when you forget which one you're in. Good catch on the Interop Types, definitely a pain!

Re: callouts for features before bending

Adding "BEFORE BENDING" makes it clear. We always stick to detailed drawings for inspections, it helps avoid confusion later.

Re: Storage not found for study

I’ve run into that error too. Have you checked if your local file paths are correct? Sometimes permissions can mess things up. Also, see if SOLIDWORKS is set to save backups.

Re: Is SOLIDWORKS Cloud Services ITAR Compliant?

A legal consulting firm can answer that kind of question.

I think Corporate Investigation Consulting can help with those questions. I usually go to them if I have ITAR problems.

Re: Running Macros from SharePoint

I love the idea of using OneDrive for saving macros! It seems like a smart way to keep everything backed up and accessible. Just curious, have you noticed any hiccups with SolidWorks when saving this way?

Re: If you're thinking about getting an electric car . . .

The maintenance side of things does make me a bit hesitant. It seems like the whole service model still has a long way to go before they really become mainstream. I guess we'll have to wait and see how the industry adapts!

Re: What are you Printing?

I made a 1/4 scale version of one of our linear machines. The marketing guys think it might have some value, mainly for international distributors who can't carry around a full size machine.

Re: Piping modeling without SW routing (looking for ideas)

I think simplifying your approach with 3D sketches for threaded pipes is a smart move. It could really help avoid the chaos. And using weldments for welded pipes sounds like a solid plan too.
