ya, the section view at the top of the assembly window is just so you can check if features are lining up and seeing something better or easily to work with. It has nothing to do with a drawing at all. use the section tool on a view that you have in the drawing and then go through the steps. then pl...

I could not take a screen shot because I am working on a laptop, I don't have the "PRT-SCREEN" key, neither does Snipping Tool work, since I need the pointer to make the edges, the menu goes away. snip and sketch new (top left) snip in 3 or 10 seconds click that open menu wait for it to d...

i was so bored at work when the new forum started, that all i did was complain

you could go into that splines and put 2 points that are dimensioned on that spline and then all you need is a 3rd point somewhere in space. are you using a 3d sketch? i saw you manually align the tile to lay on top of the others. please for the love of god, either fully mate those tiles or fix them...

jfc i made it to #7 on idea's generated. all i did was complain.

if its a logitech mouse you can download their software "options" and you can remap anything. but to be honest, just buy a space mouse, not the cheap one but the one with a bunch of buttons. if you plan on doing this for a career you will love it. i only use my mouse for navigation for ver...

i love that feature

anyone notice how all the post over there are being submitted to "idea" and then in the comments later it says that they are out of the idea post?

i love watching that place work well

ooops i thought i was in the thread i made. my bad

In SE the auto balloon actually works! The auto explode also is quite impressive! Attached is a video where I assemble a part, create an exploded view, create a drawing view, BOM and auto balloon it. FYI I'm new to SE so the video is a little lengthy. SE? i'm sorry but why does that apply to my pro...

try to use the default isometric view only to create your exploded view. I don't remember the exact reason, but it works best that way and I've been doing it that way and haven't had the problem since. ya i tried it but doesn't work. That sounds really annoying to always use the iso view. how many ...

Let me start with that we upgraded from 2020 sp3 to 2021 sp4 before the issue happened. If i bom and auto balloon a drawing, then move the balloon leader to a different place on the part it shows a "?". If i move the leader off the part and then try and move it back, it won't attach. This ...

what about setting your display states to "link display states to configurations" as off.
then make a display state with the section and then when you switch config you just change the display state

I just joined here because i hate the new "forum" for solidworks. All I'm doing here is venting. Why would you make a place where answering questions is not the first priority. contacting your var for help doesn't work most of the time and they find articles that you just google and alread...
