Re: Set it UP! Killer SolidWorks Interface, Better Workflow

Haven't tried the setting yet, but I did have a moment of epiphany. I use a nice ligitech mouse with an application switch button. I never use that button, but remembered you can assign other things to it...like a keystroke assignment. Made that "S" and can now bring up the shortcut menu without using the keyboard.

I use a space-mouse, and don't usually keep my finger right on the "s" key, so I wasn't using the shortcut menu as often as I "should". I totally used it in the 2009 beta, but kind of forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me of it and I figured others may have assignable buttons on their mice that can be used for that or any other of the shortcut features in SW.

Going to try these out, I hope, soon. Will comment if I get the chance.
Thanks

I wish! I hope to hear some good feedback, especially the usage of >4GB of memory and multiple cores. I need reasons to push for newer computers (ours >2 yrs), 64Bit and Vista, maybe. Resond people! Thanks.

I love 3D because I find it hard to THINK in 2D.

Re: Two SolidWorks Macros For Blazin’ Fast Assembly Work

Once you create the mate, you can RMB on the mate in the feature tree. This will give you some options on the mate depending upon the type. One of the options is to "Flip Mate Alignment". A distance mate will add a "Flip Dimenison" option.

There would be no "easy" way to adjust the orientation of the mate, except going into the mate, right? So, maybe mention to align the objects close to what orientation you'd want. Would like distance mates, and possibly multiple coincident/concentric. Will have to look at these to see if possible to make them. Thanks!
