How to report a bug

If you think you have found a bug that is not in the list below, please report it to us. This article explains how to report an issue.

Known issues

1: Undo delete view

Steps to recreate the issue: When you manually delete a view while creating a new drawing, then undo it, Drew thinks the view is still deleted.

Workaround: Do not manually delete a view when creating a new drawing with Drew. Instead, use the checkboxes to add and remove 2D and 3D views.

Plan for fixing: We are planning to add support for Undo and Redo.

 

2: Creating body sheets crashes SOLIDWORKS

Steps to recreate the issue: Add body sheets for a model with silhouette edges.

Workaround: Let SOLIDWORKS breathe after adding a couple of sheets. It only crashes when it gets swamped with work, it seems.

Plan for fixing: This has been an issue inside SOLIDWORKS for years. We have been investigating this issue together with senior developers at SOLIDWORKS; we actually managed to crash the kernel. They are working on a fix.

 

3: Flip flat pattern does not work properly

Steps to recreate the issue: Create a flat pattern sheet for a sheet metal body. Then click Flip a few times.

Workaround: None

Plan for fixing: This is an issue with SOLIDWORKS that we have tried to fix multiple times already. We do not know how to fix it. We will test future SOLIDWORKS versions to see if the problem disappears.

 

4: Cannot create a drawing for a part with a Split feature

Steps to recreate the issue: Create a part and add a Split feature. Create a drawing.

Workaround: None

Plan for fixing: This is an issue with SOLIDWORKS. We have found no workaround.
