Can I print out the Interferencecalculations and show them to my checker for verification of nointerference?

Also...is there a way to check the parts of an assembly forinterference if you want to take into account the tolerance of theparts itself? Say the part is .500" wide - plus or minus .010.Can I use that information to check if the part fits in anassembly? Or do I have to change the part to the minimum andmaximum width it fits or not?

Sorry - there is no ability to run interference detection in the design checker.
Part of the issue is making the selections.

There may be a better way, but you can do a screen capture (alt-prt scrn) and paste into Paint or Photoshop or Word to be able to print the results.

Yeah, you want to look at Enovia or some of the other large-scale PDM solutions that perform non-graphical interference calculations.

  yep, I ever used the screenshot for check with my boss who's US. It's a good idea. But if there were a function that can make the interference calculation out with solidworks , it woulb be better.

    Here is a link to a solidworks add-in that does tolerance studies.

    Also, in 2008 (premium) there is a tolerance study feature.
