Hello, can someone explain what is going on with my default templates, im going crazy with this SolidBug...
Templates are set, paths are in folders location and files exists
somehow SW creates and keeps creating new parts and drawings in my assembly templates folder no matter how many times i delete them..
in the end it seems i can just have the templates wich the crap programmers decided i must have
No SW, iv payed for this crap and at least i would like to choose my templates, i know this is a big wish,maybe too dificult for the kind of programmers that seems to work in the developement of SolidBug, nothing seems to work in this program, and they like to excuse mainly with graphic cards, well i have a brand new RTX Quadro 5000, and i keep facing every day all kind of bugs, crashes, things that are suposed to work and simply does not work, but yeah, 2020 with lots of new features wow, congratz, new features, the very old same bugs... shame on you!
MS Should start to ban crap software, maybe this way at some point we will pay and get for what we pay, stable software to work, most of us work 8+ hours every day with a sotware, its frustrating to never know what will happen at the next click, shame on a software that costs 10.000 a licence and the most important command should be CTRL+S (SAVE) after every command so you can be sure no work loss... unfortunately for me i must work with this... for now is what we have in company...
Bruno:
You are making an assumption about what 'Default Template' means. It has nothing to do with what template is used when you make a new part/assembly/drawing. Forget about that setting for now. It has nothing to do with your problem.
If you want the 'Novice' setting to use your templates, you need to place them in the folder that is listed in your System Options for the Document Template file location. For example, here is my file location setting:
In that folder, I have Part.prtdot, and Assembly.asmdot. I do not have a drawing template in there.
I have several subfolders with various drawing templates:
In the Advanced view, I see this:
Notice that Part and Assembly are in the Templates folder, not in any subfolder. In the novice view, I get this:
Drawing is grayed out because as I said above, I do not have a Drawing.drwdot in the Templates folder. If I add one, I see this:
If I select Part, and click OK, SOLIDWORKS uses the Part.prtdot in the templates folder.
You should not have more than one of each template in the top folder. If you do, SW will pick one. It may or may not be the one you want. It seems to do it alphabetically, but I would not count on that.
