Once you get the SPR from the VAR, could you please share it here?Bradfordzzz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 6:10 am Mirror feature in part seems to be working, but mirror parts in an assembly and mirror sketch in assembly have issues.
Absolutely. I'm hoping it will be a hotfix ... I really hope we don't have to wait for the next service pack.

Have you run into this issue on other Assemblies, or just this one?Bradfordzzz wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 10:38 am Mirroring issue with Solidworks 2022 SP1
Here is the preview (settings are identical to the settings used in Solidworks 2021 Sp5.1

This has occurred on 4 different computers.

Any ideas?

I'm not terribly concerned about the minor bug here or there. (If I hit on one that affects something I do daily that might change.) What I am trying to avoid at all costs is what happened with 2019. My productivity dropped to about 25% of what it was in 2018. I can't go through that again. ("Solidworks is Busy") I still haven't turned autosave back on.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND WHATSOEVER !!
Have you moved to SP2? It should get better over time, no worries. You'll just have to deal with these pesky problems for a bit.
I don't see that SP2 is out yet. maybe they are waiting to fix the mirroring before they releaseAlexLachance wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 8:26 am Have you moved to SP2? It should get better over time, no worries. You'll just have to deal with these pesky problems for a bit.
I thought I read someone saying they were on SP2, but I haven't been notified of it's release so I'm leaning towards it not being released. My apologies.Bradfordzzz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 8:41 am I don't see that SP2 is out yet. maybe they are waiting to fix the mirroring before they release

Other than mirror in assemblies, what else is borken? The ONLY mirror feature that works consistently for me is mirror bodies. (This thread explains it. https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexp ... ulbWI0soPQ) I rarely use mirror in assemblies for similar reasons.Bradfordzzz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 3:57 am As much as I don't like 2021 ...

I'm resigned to the russian roulette of minor bugs that come with SP from SW. It's the game changers I fear. SP1 is the latest, but SP2 is due in April on the projected release schedule.
I typically create configurations in the sub assembly for left and right side. Most of the time none of the mirror options give me the positioning I am looking for. For me, it's easier to skin the cat a different way.Bradfordzzz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 10:32 am Mirroring Bodies still seems to be working fine.
Haven't really been able to test a lot of features in 2022 because the Mirroring function is a show stopper for us.
Working in automotive ... it seems like the vehicles happen to have both a right side .. and a left side to them . lol
I would agree ... but this is a function that worked in 2021 ... its only now in 2022 that this is broken (for us at least)
It's probably a new featureBradfordzzz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 10:58 am I would agree ... but this is a function that worked in 2021 ... its only now in 2022 that this is broken (for us at least)
That's a really great catch. I didn't realize this change. I'm still hoping for a quick fix, like I have a check box somewhere turned on that is messing everything up. I really don't want to wait for a service pack for this.

Drawings - weld symbols.
For years, whenever you added a root gap and angular value to a symbol when the "2nd fillet" option was selected, the text justification was always centered which meant pushing the text to the right by way of several spacebar presses. This justification issue was apparently fixed in 2022.

Can someone:
A: confirm that it's fixed and the justification is correct on a new "fresh" symbol in 2022.
B: save a symbol on a drawing in a version of 2021 or before with the spacebar justification workaround, which you then open in 2022. I want to see if all of the default library drawings I've made over the years with weld symbols will need the "spaces" removed from them when I upgrade.

Can someone confirm that this SPR was fixed:

SPR# -- Description
-----------------------
1194201 - Assemblies - External References, Virtual Components: Virtual Component external references status becomes out of context after parent assembly is renamed
You should be able to tell by seeing if this "search" box is present when you go to an assembly, RMB, and select "Rename".
image.png
In 2019 SP.5, when you wanted to rename an assembly, you had the option to check “include virtual components” and then hit “search” . It would then populate the virtual component references in the assembly and make sure they were redirected to the new name ensuring no broken references. This was missing in 2020 - hence the requested SPR.
Thanks!!
A. Here's what I got when I duplicated your weld symbol with SW2022 sp 0.0. I've never used the "2nd fillet" option, but I'm guessing this isn't what it's supposed to look like.TRKemp wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 8:16 am Appreciate all of the good feedback so far from everyone.

I wonder if this is the actual SPR #1074320
Thanks Jason ! I will send this to my VAR. Would be nice if SP2 was actually available to fix the issue !jcapriotti wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 6:19 pm I wonder if this is the actual SPR #1074320

"Pretty Concerning" is a pretty big understatement. I think you meant "pretty f%@king nuts"TRKemp wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 2:14 pm Hi Glenn,
I'm unable to see the example you pasted in or attached. Can you give it another try and I'll confirm if the appearance is correct.
That's also unfortunate news about Pack and go. We've just recently backported a .dll file from an SPR fix that was made in 2021 into our 2020 software to fix an unrelated issue with that feature. Re-assigning references is precisely what the pack and go function is for, so overall, that's pretty concerning.
I won't argue with that.Bradfordzzz wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 4:00 am "Pretty Concerning" is a pretty big understatement. I think you meant "pretty f%@king nuts"
I'm sorry about that. It appears I forgot to attach it. I didn't save it, but it looked exactly like the screenshot you posted.
Ok, thanks Glenn. That's interesting that it's still not fixed, but not surprising at all either.Glenn Schroeder wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 8:37 am I'm sorry about that. It appears I forgot to attach it. I didn't save it, but it looked exactly like the screenshot you posted.
I'm going to hold off for now, but thank you. I might reach out later.TRKemp wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:49 am Also, I do still have the .dll utility files that our VAR provided for the Pack and Go fix we implemented from the 2021 SPR which solved our problems with the feature. If you're interested, I can provide those to you with some instructions I saved on how to implement it.

I have not experienced the Mirror bug mentioned here. (I've never liked or trusted mirror in assemblies.!! I only use it for things that are not mission critical. ie, visual references only. Any serious or important sheetmetal or weldment info is mirrored within the multi-body part.
And I truly have had a more stable and productive experience with my 2022 version install. Crashing almost never happens and I literally cannot recall the last time it did crash. I have moved all my projects that were in 2021 over to 2022 and uninstalled 2021. I see no reason to keep it.

The bend lines are still a sketch under the flat. In the drawing you show them via the view properties now.IndianaDave wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 9:51 am Have they separated sheetmetal bend lines from sketch entities in flat patterns?
We hate the workaround of having to show sketches, pick the sketches and sketch lines over the bend lines, and then turn sketches off again.
Thanks for the heads up Andy!!
It shows for me. It probably will for you now also.Bradfordzzz wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 3:48 pm Thanks for the heads up Andy!!

It appears that they built a delay into it. That's not what I wanted, but like my wife tells me, it's not all about me.
