I am a new user to Solidworks (our company just switched from Inventor, so far I'm lovin' it!). Anyways, I'm trying to set up the fasteners with the appropriate part numbers and descriptions that pertain to our company.
In doing so, I have opened the "Edit Standards" dialogue box, and exported all configurations of each fastener. Under the already exisiting "Part Number" and "Description" columns, I filled in the necessary information, then imported that spreadsheet back into SW. However, now when I try to edit or insert that fastener, it takes up to 30 seconds as compared to the original 5 seconds!
Is there a better way to edit these fields (without doing it cell by cell in SW) that doesn't take this hit? How does anyone else input your companies information into the fasteners? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
