Hello, colleagues.

I’d like to ask you for some information about TopSolid’WOOD. I think that results will be interesting for us.
Thank you.

Hi, Ole "What's complex is about part A >you made a drilling in one of the A part >the problem is that we cannot clean the numbering so we would like that TS compare again existing numbering and create have a new index only for the new part A that had PX001 and change to PX005 for example do yo...

I think that it is great idea and we can say that it is a final formula:

Yes/No/Repair

And it looks good.

Thank you, Todd for this discussion and help.
We don't have this magic option but I feel myself better now.

Is it possible at all to manage data of "in-place design" assemblies by PDM-system?

I think that possible decision is “to freeze/unfreeze” some indexes manually and remove free indexes only during numbering of assembly. This idea is not the best because it is manual procedure and therefore it is not safe completely. But it is better than nothing. May be, to freeze indexes of parts ...

Hi, Todd!

Thank for your answer. It is important for me.
I use the same algorithm. Exactly. But it does not solve a problem. I prepared short video – the situation is extremely simplified in this example but illustrates problem, I think.

Hello! Do you use TopSolid’WOOD + PDM system? What kind of PDM do you use? There are 4 users of TSW and TSW CAM in our company and our projects usually have long life-cycle with a huge number of modifications. And I suppose that it is a good idea to use PDM system to manage data in this situation. H...

Hello all! I’d like to ask you for help with general matter. There is one cotinuous problem for me in TopSolid – part ID. I’m trying to make decision one year but I’ve not found good variant yet. I mean "design in-place" technology. Now I run “number automatically” procedure (with special ...

Hi, Ken. I don’t know if you still need this information – there is a way to use other-sized parts. In the part definition dialogue you must add “over dimensions” data into the overvaluation section (on the tab “Cutting-up”) and use “Nest rough” on the tab “Nesting”. It works. Best regards, Vladimir.

Hi, Todd.

Thank you.
I’ll inform Czech reseller of TopSolid.
This bug forces me to use manual mode and adds two-three weeks to my project. It's a bad news but it's not catastrophe (I hope).

Good luck,
Vladimir.

Hello all, I have question about CAM operation analysis. I’m working on project with big number of unique parts. Each part has irregular shape holes (number of holes is about 400-500). These holes were made as “through one” pocket and this pocket was based on multi-selected curves. And so, in genera...
