No worries Matt. Greatly appreciate the response.

Gentlemen,
I'm not able to respond to, or even send, any private messages. Also, seems that the option to update profile information is in a very safe spot and not available.

Yes, your assumption is correct. I've sent you a note to the email you provided.

In search of resource for writing custom macro for SolidWorks. Have basic code now that could be modified if it would be of use. Screen snippet is from an AutoCad drawing and the basic example of what needs to be able to be shown on a SolidWorks drawing. Have a requirement to be able to report X, Y ...

Work generally gets in the way of reporting. Just to update all, we've had a very successful upgrade to 2024 SP 4.0 actually across a great many workstations and laptops. Very stable and have had practically no issues whatsoever.
Greatly appreciate all that commented on this.

If you have to work with SolidWorks files, created by other companies, it is wise to check the history of these files. Often we experience external files have been based on existing files of almost 20 years old. And you loose time by solving all kind of strange effects, you never see with fresh tem...

Dean I haven't been getting it for the last two working days. When it was happening last week I was modifying SW2023 models, they were existing sketches/or adding new (?) in a clients model. The last two working days I have been working on my models which are either new or from 2022 and it's not ha...

Rich, Interesting behavior regarding the cursor. What are the chances that it could be caused by a video driver that isn't on the certified list? We have a broad range of Win 10 and Win 11 machines, so what OS are you experiencing the unstable behavior with?\ In a holding pattern until my IT departm...

Looking forward to the feedback. Should have a testing workstation setup during the first full week of August to put through the paces.
I'll be on the lookout for what has been mentioned so far, and likewise, report any new behavior.

Well, after some rather fruitless tries, turns out that the PMI data would have to be recreated once the file was imported. Worked at length with our VAR and a few individuals that really think outside of the box, and that is the only common solution found so far.
Thanks to all that rang in on this.

Received some good insight from all that was kind enough to respond here. Boils down to no real solution that we can feel confident in using repeatedly.

I wrote a tool that runs as a scheduled task on a server our CAD machines , it calls lmutils.exe, consumes and parses the output then stores that in a couple SQL tables. That' works well but the GUI I wrote to view the SQL data is crap. But it's the logs that we wanted to monitor license utilizatio...

Will be testing 2024 SP3.1 for SolidWorks and PDM in the next couple weeks. Currently still on 2023 SP 5.0. I've 128+ users and like to be as confident as possible that we don't introduce any unforeseen "features." What has been the experience from the group that may have already updated t...

Neither the SolidWorks SolidNetWork License Manager or the CADAdmin Dashboard seems to have good tools to track a bevy of network licenses over time and their daily utilization. The SolidWorks SolidNetWork License Manager is most often even wrong when listing users. I'm stumped, and so is my IT depa...

Better to leave off the threads in the main configuration. Thanks for ringing in on this and completely agree with you about that. But if the target audience/user base don't see the threads/features when the part is opened or inserted, confusion sets in. Yes, a training/instructing/experience issue...

Whether single part or a part with multiple configurations, there are a few settings keep in mind for performance. Keep the image quality in the part file settings on the lower end for fasteners. (i.e. McMaster Carr downloads are notorious for near max image quality and always hurts display and rebu...

Unable to find a similar post addressing this issue. We need to import STEP files that were created with CREO that contains embedded PMI data and be able to access and read the PMI. Incidentally, the "CREO View Express Viewer" is also unable to read the STEP file created by CREO. Using Sol...

I suspect some here could get some insight into standards across the industries by visiting this site and retrieving the free PDF they offer. Much is covered with regards to standardization and could be used as a baseline to create a small companies standards as well. Food for thought anyway. https:...

Uh, yeah. Not there either. Limitation in Firefox?

Not being able to work with imported IFC files significantly impacts a mid-nine figure $$ multi-year project in quite a negative manner.
Greatly appreciate the comments and insight and taking time out of your day to respond.

Ringing in on this thread as I cannot locate the elusive "Edit Profile" option, even after sifting through the plethora of comments here.
Perhaps it's an age thing or not enough coffee.

Appreciate the comments, and certainly agree with the "hairball" analogy. Working in '22 now and I can't say I am impressed at all with how SolidWorks attempts to handle IFC files. Quite disappointed really. I had combed the internet and consulted my local VAR, with no success or solutions...

Large project on the horizon. Files will be exported from Tekla to an IFC format for importing into SolidWorks. Initial import tests have generated graphics only files and are of no use. Looking for advice on how to leverage the IFC file type and generate useful and usable part and assembly files as...

In need of being able to generate alpha-numerically numbered points from sketch points and also create a corresponding XY-chart/table. SolidWorks can generate an XY-Hole table with ease, but find this does not seem to be an available function for simple sketch points alone. Does anyone have success ...

Well for a mouse, I specify the Logitech G502 corded mouse for all workstations, just wish they made a left hand version too. Likewise as an additional input enhancement, the 3DConnexion Space Mouse Pro and Enterprise units. Have approximately 140 of the mice on desks and machining centers and 90+ o...
