When… (Show more)

Hi Laura, From within an open project, you should be able to navigate to this area and adjust your general tolerances to suit. Hope that helps. Graeme

Can Table Manager be floating by default?

When I open SW Inspection, I'd like the layout of my Table Manager and Properties/Preferences to be where I left them; on the other screen. Is there a way to set these so they open where I left them?

Can the Method default based on SubType?

I'd like to have the default value for the Method change depending on the SubType. For example, we usually want "Visual Inspection" for Notes and "Digital Calipers" for Length. Is there a way to make these relational?

How to permanently set inspection balloon appearance?

I have tried changing the balloon… (Show more)

I can only answer for the Standalone version because that's all we use, but I created a .ixpdot template. You essentially start a new project and set up all your Project Options how you want them to be then File->Save As-> Inspection Project Template. Then when you create a new project file from that template it will use those predefined options.

Inspection 2018 can input CATIA & ProE 3D PMI, why SOLIDWORKS MBD's files can't?

I think it's amazing to input 3D PMI for Inspection 2018. But our SOLIDWORKS MBD need to creat drawings for Inspection to use. So that I thinks it's superfluous . Why CATIA & ProE files can input, but SOLIDWORKS MBD can't?
