Melissa Appel, DS SolidWorks Product Definition Specialist, started an engaging forum thread on the SolidWorks Forum. She invites SolidWorks users to answer the question:
What are the silliest workarounds you use in drawings, and what is the actual goal?
To date, there are 124 responses. Most comments cover one or more particular cases where a silly workaround has to be used in order to acheive desireable results.
There are many topics covered. Several comments are about well covered (and mostly resolved) topics, like the elimination of the Dimension Palette. There’s a few solutions to problems some users experience. Other topics cover little problems, like the fact that a user is forced to double-escape from the Ordinate Dimension command before a new set ordinate dimensions can be started. Then there are big topics, like the fact that SolidWorks doesn’t provide any method to break dimension extension lines around other leaders and extension lines (unless they are actually cross through an arrow).
There’s a lot of good information in the forum thread, but I’m sure there are a great number of topics to cover! Check our the forum thread and add your own or comment on existing topics.
