How to retrieve all decimal places using Evaluate > Measure

With modeling in progress, I sometimes need the measured data accurate with all the dimensions so that followup modeling goes 100% matching. But, I see, I get the results accurate for 2 decimals. I look forward to receiving help.

How to exploded a part on a different axis

I'm running Solidworks 2020 and when I'm trying to exploded parts in an assemble, I used to be able to right click and select 'align to' and then click on a surface or a part to change the axis that the part exploded on. That option is missing and just moving the center ball to a surface is very inconsistent. I'm also missing the rotation arrows… (Show more)

I'm running 2020 SP3.0 and, as Sara said in her original post, the rotation rings have gone AWOL and dragging the white ball to a surface or edge is very inconsistent

Problem with Chain and Motion Study

Hi I have been working on a chain drive mechanism and I have a couple of issues I cannot figure out. When I try and do a motion study there are errors in the motion. Also, I have a traffic light showing in the feature tree at both the mates and the Chain Pattern, but I cannot see what is causing this – I assume this is why the motion study is… (Show more)

Something that helps with the beginning and end jerking is to make the animation longer and then when you save the animation, rather than do the entire animation set it as a time range.

speedpak surfaces become invisible in assembly

This may be something simple, but I can't find it. I made a Speedpak of an assembly. I selected several bodies and a number of surfaces to keep. No problem. I can move the cursor over the areas I kept, and they show up fine in the cursor circle. However, when I use that assembly in a higher level assembly, the selected surfaces and bodies… (Show more)

Batch Conversion of Parts to STL

I often have to convert batches of 4 to 12 parts to stl files. Is there a quick way to do this other than 1 at a time? What I do now is open each part in it's own window and do a "Save As" for each one.

Exporting individual STEP files from your SW Assembly?

Is there a way to export individual part files to STEP from a SW assembly? Perhaps Task Scheduler can do this? Does this require a macro to do this? We have lots of our vendors that prefer individual parts instead of the entire assembly? thanks Mark

A quick glance at your files show that you had already fully constrain the right plate by mating it to the bottom plate. Therefore, trying to add another coincident mate to the top plate will result in error. My initial guess is that you should change your top plate dimension. The top plate is 431.32mm in length but the bottom is 464mm

Animation Toolbar not appearing

I try to create an exploded assembly by using the exploded feature. This feature does its job well and the parts collapse in the proper manner. However, when I try to animate the collapse by right clicking on the exploded feature in the configurations tab, it performs the animation and gets stuck. Supposedly I am supposed to see an Animation… (Show more)

Additionally Alt + Spacebar gives window controls wherever your cursor is and you can choose to Move or Close the window. This doesn't solve the pane being off the screen, but in a pinch you can close it and move on with your work without a regedit required.
