Wes Cobb is our guest blogger today. Wes is the leader of the WNC/Asheville SWUG.
Our first meeting of the year is this coming Thursday, January 8th. This years’ “kickoff meeting” features Rodney Hall talking about SolidWorks Administration Tips and “Things your IT department SHOULD KNOW about SolidWorks” The information Rodney has for us should aid anyone involved with installing and setting up SW to run efficiently.
PROBLEM!!
I installed SW2009 during the holiday break and have found an issue. If any of you can help me please respond. Here’s what’s going on:
Since installing SW2009 sp0, I am having a problem in an assembly drawing with "link to BOM" option being "grayed out". This is an issue only on my workstation. Also loaded Sw2009 sp1.0 on my laptop and DO NOT have the problem. Uninstalled and re-installed SW2009 and installed sp2.0EV on workstation and continue to have problem. I have done very little work since loading sp2.0EV. One very simple model and all performed well. A couple notes of interest, my laptop is brand new and SW2009 loaded with no problems. My workstation had SW2007 and 2008 on it previous to SW2009 install. I did remove SW2007 and cleaned out the registry as well prior to SW2009 install.
I have been on the Forum board at SW Customer Portal and find about 8 other people reporting the same problem. I posted my computer info as well as the current settings for my workstation but have yet to find any help. My VAR has the same problem but has been unable to help at this point.
Great way to start the new year!! But look, we all get together next week and we’ll solve this thing and all be heroes!!
So, if you haven't already done so, let me know ASAP if you plan on being with us Thursday, January 8th. If you need any more incentive…I’ll pay for gas for four, randomly selected members to attend. What more could you ask for, good food, me, free gas, me, Rodney Hall, me, comradery and me. O.k., enough….See you all there.
Regards to all,
Wes
