Hi guys
I have updated my solidworks from 2013 to 2014 today and have created new parts , but it wont allow me to add a material to the summary list , there isn`t evean an option for material .
Description and matno are there like normal , but no material.
Can anyone please tell me where to activate it or add it in this new 2014 version.
And another thing I realised the unit of measure keeps going back to IPS or MKS , I have to set it back to MMGS everytime I open a drawing.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks.
Hei'ya Jano,
I guess your default part.prtdot needs to be done,
or you have multiple installations
first open any new part file- ie empty
set your background, visibility of how you wish to start
set the units in "Document Properties" as below, confirm-ok,
save as> and select file type> part templates> (file named)- "part", the extentsion-*.prtdot is added automatically
confirm overwrite if you wish or use another filename- eg.-partmm-> and save
close the graphics window to be certain you don't save over the template
open a new part file using the just saved template and work as normal
check the settings are as you wish them at the start up
for your material data bases check system options>file locations>
"Show folders for:"> Material databases
and redirect or add the correct location
hope this helps, have a good'n kelef
ps added the partmm14.prtdot file example
