solidworks >> How to stop Overide Value changing

by Nick S » Tue, 14 Feb 2006 20:46:52 GMT

Hello all,
I've drawn a dimensional drawing in Solidworks and on some of the
dimensions I've forced the value to be over riden, I save the file
without a problem but when I re open the file the values change back to
their original value, how do I stop this from happening? All answer
welcomed. Nick

Which version of SW? I used to only see this behaviour with hole
callouts.

Hi TOP

Thanks for your reply, the version of SolidWorks I'm using is 2005. Can
you shed any light on the matter?
Cheers
Nick

Describe a bit more, step by step, what you are seeing, as in describe it so
I can recreate it here. What do you mean "dimensional drawing"? Are you in
a drawing, in a sketch, etc? How do you force a value?

I had this, but can't remember when, I had replaced a dim with an =
sign, this was a bug and has been fixed.

hello all
i am drawing a sketch in 2d due to the size i am drawing the item half
scale and when i am complete i will go into comand manager and change
dimesional value by using overide value
but when i save drawing to file the value reverts back to original
value and not the new value

Hi Nick

I assume you are producing the 2d sketch in a new drg.
If you set the scale for the sheet to say 1:2 (right mouse click on drg
sheet and chose Properties), you can enter real world dimensions
without having to overide them, all sketch elements will be sized to
the scale set.
This is also true if you have produced your sketch in part mode.
Hope this helps.

Bob

Just had another thought.
If you have other elements in the drg sheet that you want to have at a
different scale, say 1:1 then your best bet is to either set these
under "Custom Scale" or redraw your sketch in part mode ie, have the
drg scale set to 1:1 and set the scale for the sketch part to 1:2 under
"Custom Scale"

Hi Bob Mac
thank you very much for the help in changing the scale of the dwgs
this has turned out to be just the ticket once again thank you.

Hi:
I don't know if Analog Environment is using hilite sets, but I will give
it a try.  I rather not add more shapes or label to the schematic because
it will be difficult and confusing.  I know Analog Environment calls
sevAnnotateResults(session, type) and to annotate the results back to the
schematic in any mode.  The labels that showed up in each instance are
exactly where the ilLabels are in the symbol, where the symbol is alos
read-only mode.  I am wondering if there is a way to change the ilLabel
values and let it appear in the schematic.
thank you =)

7. Copy a schematic and change parameter values 

Hi all,

I am using design variables for some parameters of my schematic.
I would like to make a copy of that schematic and, in that new cell,
substitute the design variables with numeric values (which I've
determined by playing around with the design variables in the original
schematic).
How can do all this in SKILL?

Maybe this has any easy answer, but I am still lost.

Thanks.
Kind regards,
Marco
