What's wrong with this model?

Todd Carpenter May 17, 2017 7:22 AM

Not sure I'm in the right place or not, but....

I'm working with this model, and all of a sudden my coordinate systems "melted". It's the only file I have that does this, and initially I thought my graphics card just hiccuped, but it looks this way on other machines too. I'm not aware of any "auditing" or repair tools for SolidWorks files, any ideas on this one? It seems to work fine, but I admit I'm a bit leary about using it in a production environment.

A bit of history - it started it's life as a SolidWorks2012 assembly file, then was updated to 2016 and had no issues until just last night. It's just a skeleton, so there's really not much to it. I've attached the file in case anyone want's to take a closer look.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It looks like a custom assembly template with coordinate systems for later analysis or simulation. I'm guessing you didn't create this.

  Actually, I did create it. It's been around for a while, just not sure what happened to it...

    Then I may be wrong.

    It doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the template - doing the big Jump in versions the settings/options are just screwed up is what I'm thinking. Check your dimension and note font sizes etc, also roll back the feature tree and take a look at every individual Sketch/Plane/Coordinate component...

Todd,
Do you mean all the arrows being stretched & facing the wrong way? If so, then turn off "Perspective" in the "View Settings" & it will sort itself out. This is a pain & been like it for a long time now & affects other things too.

  Wow - I usually don't use the perspective setting - I must have fat fingered it on - you're right, it sorted itself out - thanks!
