How To Check Solidworks License Number
Awilda
I have a c# application that runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit OS.In my app, how can I programatically check that solidworks is installed or not on computer.If we can check it by reading registry key ,then provide me path for both 32-bit and 64-bit.Tell me if there are other ways also to check it.
This is for beginers....
I think there are many ways to check Whether Solidworks is installed or not , but according to my perspective when Solidworks is installed it creates some folders in registery.
Just follow this steps to check it...

To make the Best of Eng-Tips Forums FAQ731-376 RE: Toolbox bearing numbers tap90291 (Mechanical)(OP)9 Sep 04 07:35I understand that, what I don't know from the pull down what the size will be whe I insert it, and how to describe it for purchasing. I am having to check models here in the U.S. that a partner company in France built, and in this particular case an ANSI metric bearing had been inseted. It was an AFBMA 20.1-47-35-38,DE,NC,38_68. This was its named configuration, I have not been able to find a cross reference to enable me to develop a mfg's part number. That was problem #1, #2 the bearing OD, ID and width were wrong, I would guess, that the definition was hosed up between their Solidworks settings and ours. My numer one problem would be to know what I have when I look at the properties etc. I can work through SKF's or Torringtons parts in the tool box but I was trying to ID what had been inseted and move on. Just must not be up to snuff with the French.
Scott thanks for replying. You are most helpful to all of us.

TAP RE: Toolbox bearing numbers SBaugh (Mechanical)10 Sep 04 11:151) You can change the Config name at the bottom of the Menu that is given to you when you drop the bearing into an assembly. As for Cross referencing etc... I don't know about that.
2) Do you have an example bearing that shows this? Please list the bearing and I'll take a look at min here.
Other then above, I'm not sure what excatly your after.

To make the Best of Eng-Tips Forums FAQ731-376 RE: Toolbox bearing numbers tap90291 (Mechanical)(OP)10 Sep 04 12:11Insert a toolbox bearing from ansi metric, bearings, ball bearings, radial ball (afbma 20.1). Say I need a 17mm bore X 35mm O.D. Why would I know without choosing a size 40-17 that, this particular size is what I need. The part number is AFBMA 20.1-40-17-12,DE,NC_68. I guess I am not familiar with the (AFBMA 20.1) Type of designation. If for instance with the toolbox bearings from say SKF, I can insert say a 6003 bearing number I can find in a catalog. But what catalog can I go to for the afbma 20.1. I was trying to identify a bearing inserted in an assy done in France. The bearing would not fit and I spent a fair amount of time trying to find a bearing that would work. I could not find one that would work, and finally tried the SKF parts and used a 6003. Different bearings for sure. I was trying to get a handle on how the size/name really was generated and how to tell purchasing who to look to for quotations. Thanks again.
TAP RE: Toolbox bearing numbers DesignSmith (Mechanical)12 Sep 04 23:19Here is a link that explains portions of the metric AFBMA numbering scheme.
GlobalSpec is a SW /3D Content Central search partner.
For a more thorough explanation, you can buy the actual standards as downloadable PDF files from sources such as:

or

Otherwise, larger manufacturers like SKF and Timken will have a cross-reference chart in the back of their master catalog or on their website.

I always loaded files into the system through the Import to workspace command in the WGM under the tools sub menu. In there you can preview the reference files, tell the system to reuse files already in the database etc. Also you'll be able to see if there are any ghost objects that you need to resolve (torn paper). Try using the import to workspace command and use the next button to preview, then after it looks good use finish to complete. For large assemblies (2Gbs including all references) this could take me an hour or two to resolve. but smaller ones, (a few hundred Mbs with the parent assembly being 100+Mbs) were always resolved within 15min, typically within 2 or 3 minutes.
Thanks for the reply Steve. Using the Import to Workspace is what I had to do. The assembly is external references and circular references. I was hoping to use the "Save to Workspace" option though since that is what most of our users will be taught.
I ended up teaching one person in each department the import to workspace functonality. I also ended up having a queue of models and assemblies to load on my PC while I worked on other administration type stuff in the browsers. Glad you figured it out
PTC wants to learn more about the issue you described in this post, "saving large SolidWorks assembly to workspace in PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager". If there is any genuine software issue or necessary enhancement in Saving SolidWorks assemblies to Workspace action, we would like to investigate and address it.
If you already reported the same issue to PTC Technical Support can you please let me know the Case number? Or if not, can you please kindly open it for us? PTC Technical Support case is most efficient way to collect information required for PTC R&D's investigation for potential bug fix and also you can track how the issue through it.
My understanding of how it works/why it crashes is that Windchill is forcing Solidworks to resolve all its references. When solidworks gets a circular reference (very easy to do) it becomes nearly impossible to load into Windchill. (resulting in a crashed application). Which frankly I'm fine with because I don't want files like that in the database, however it can be hard for people to figure this out initially until they know what to look for.
Now click to create a start point and an endpoint, all the while picking up as many balloons as you like along the way. To add, remove or reorder a balloon, just drag it onto or away from the magnetic line.
You can enable or disable the quantity per balloon, just check the checkbox. I use the Override value a lot in the situations I mentioned above, even though using override is not very future-proof. When the hole pattern changes and the number of bolts in that subsection changes, the count does not update.
To fix that, add those configurations to the BOM by clicking the column and then the Column Property button. This will add a quantity column for each configuration, but you can hide that column if you want. Just right-click the column letter > Hide > Column.
I had some trouble in the past with broken links, but I just tested a few different scenarios in SOLIDWORKS 2018 and I could not confirm this method. I think his method worked in the past, but SOLIDWORKS has apparently improved the software recently.
