  4. Edit / Simplify , is what it's called now.
  5. Just hides it I believe. Did you check "Lines and Arcs" when you created the bounding box ? If so you just pick them and delete.
  6. In your stock set-up , uncheck "Display" HTH

  11. quote: I don't have an acurate way to measure this part Just curious what type of part this is ? Could you put it in a vise and use and indicator or edge finder to get at least reference dimmensions ? How accurate do you need to be ?
  12. No , not in X. I inserted a bitmap into Solidworks and tried to "trace" it with crappy results. I ended up just starting from scratch with a new drawing. Sorry I can't be more helpfull. Maybe somebody here with the Raster-Vector option can hook you up. Try asking for a FREE 5 axis , tweak free post. There will be more people here than you can count to ask for help then. (just kidding)
  13. quote: try to spline ober top of the image I tried to do that yesterday and it was a real pain in the A$$ . I would suggest getting as many measurements as you can with mics' , calipers , gauge pins , radius gauges , etc.... to keep the spline sketching to a minimum. BTW , Welcome to da Forum
  14. I've been using X for about 3 months ALMOST exclusively. I go back to V9 once in a while just so I don't totally forget how to use it.
  15. M19 will orient the spindle. Add a P value for a specific angle.
  16. Do you have "Force Tool Change" checked in the Tool Parameters page ?
  17. Installed it here this morning with no problems.
  18. If you've backed up the Config Folder , I belive your toolbar and key mapping files are good to go as well. Not sure bout' the Updates though. O.T : hows the boat project goin ?
  19. Robb Jack has some good info on thier site. Click on the "Die/Mold EM Guidelines" and scroll down towards the bottom of the page. HTH
  20. Yup , same exact problem I had. All I remember doing is the "repair install" for Solidworks , re-start , and all has been good since.
  21. What version Solidworks ya runnin ? I had a similar problem awhile back. I had to switch the file type drop down to "all files" , then double click on the file. Look closely at the file extension. Is it sldprt or sld ?
