BR Article: BR10000354471
Status: Opening transparency related problem (again: this was supposed to be a new enhancement in 2023!)




Drawing templates do not save the new transparency setting or the new settings is not recognized by SW in document properties and new views are created with the transparent flag on and shown transparent in their 2D views.

If drawing view has tangent edges hidden, it's impossible to dimension structural members. When you switch to tangent edges with font, you can dimension. Anyone else has this same behaviour?

EDIT:
Found fix SPR1254289
"workaround: In SW2022, it works if Options > Selection > Selection of hidden edges > ‘Allow selection in HLR and shaded mode’ option is selected"

1. Open Windows region settings
2. Set Format to English (United States)
3. Open Additional settings...
4. Under the Number tab set a new value for the Decimal symbol, like comma "," or some other character (Windows allows up to three, but only the first one will be used) and click apply
5. Open a model in SOLIDWORKS and save as STEP (AP203 or AP214)
6. Inspect the STEP file with a text editor

#1 = DIRECTION ( 'NONE',  ( 0,000000000000000000, 0,000000000000000000, 1,000000000000000000 ) ) ;

Unfortunately, I can't right click and open the drawing of a part in the drawing view. It seems to be broken.

SPerman wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 4:46 pm It doesn't work for me either. My 2 thoughts:

PDM is causing the problem. (I'm pretty sure Alex isn't on PDM, and we are.)

All parts / assemblies / drawings have to live in the same folder. (We do not follow this convention. Parts and assemblies are in different folders.)

AlexLachance wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 4:56 pm That could be the cause, the issue I refered to related to documents not being in the same folder if I recall correctly.

I don't use PDM and our drawings are in the same folders as their parts/assemblies.

mp3-250 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 9:50 pm There is user a setting that allow PDM to search the whole vault for a drawing.
The only problem we had with opening drawings was the "bug" that shown more than one drawing file, from a old version.
When the file was derived from another 3D+DRW couple with a "save as" and later renamed, so you have a old version of the drawing that termporary referenced the wrong 3D or someting like that.
This is why I recomend to use tree copy even for a single file instead of copy-paste or save as.

bnemec wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 2:41 pm Probably a dumb question, but can you confirm that the part.slddrw that you are trying to open from an assembly.slddrw is in local cache?

In several ways, we've had issue like this where SW (completely unaware of PDM managing the local cache) cannot access a file because it's not in local cache. I would expect it to show the "file does not exist" error, but maybe the SW people didn't bother checking for that and just swallow the exception as they assumed the user always has access to the entire dataset. I'm guessing the SW people don't give a comprehensive list of changes to the PDM people so the PDM add-in can be updated by adding event handlers to these user inputs so PDM has a chance to cache the needed file before SW tries to load it. It's probably much more complicated than that, but it makes sense in my laymind.

Unfortunately, these drawings are in the same folders as their respective parts.

Look for drawings in the entire vault (instead of only the same folder).

mp3-250 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 7:15 pm Are you on 2023?
I kind of saw this situation a couple of times, but I was not able to reproduce it.
I remember I was opening the file from the most recent used list, but I think it was after cleaning up a vault view on that workstation.

First, the command manager will randomly go blank, as if a tab with no features were selected. All I did in this GIF was to click in a couple of random places and move my mouse to the command manager. Where I click does not seem to be related to the problem.

The other problem I have is SW will randomly add tabs to the command manager that I have hidden.
