For 2D drawing file's best name is same to the source part or asm file automatically.
If not, difficult to find the correct 2D drawing file from the part or asm file in the future or open with RMB from the feature tree.

I would like integration with the PDM.

Export to SolidWorks is very slow, even with simple structures.
I don't understand how it can be slow because exported files are empty, apart from referenced files texts strings included.]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:31:37 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-147 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-146

Treehouse 2 is compatible with Windows 7 x64 and SolidWorks 2009/2010. There must be something specific to your configuration that causes Treehouse to fail. Please send an e-mail to labsfeedback@solidworks.com and we will further investigate your problem.

If I close SW2009, nothing happens (no files are created in my destination folder).

The Find Similar materials is a great tool, but needs just a few simple changes. I've tried to use it to find lower impact materials, but still get massive lists of materials which give me no immediate indication whether they will be better or worse in terms of ecological impact. I have to go through the list and select each material choice to look at how it compares to the current material. A simple way would be to highlight each material option in red/green, and better yet rank them (say in overall, as well as the four impact metrics). Also, I get nervous that I don't have other boolean operators when looking for similar materials. Often times I will want a material that will be "greater than or equal to", and the only option I have is "greater than". Well, that means it will exclude materials that are the same as what I've currently got (the workaround is to just reduce the metric by inputing a slightly lower value - say reducing the tensile strength by a small amount and selecting "greater than"). Also, I would really like to be able to look at other materials that are +/- a percentage, that could be useful....I think. Ideally, maybe I could perform a search that is -10% or greater than the current tensile strength, for example. A few points I immediately thought of.

Also, watched a video a week or so ago where they showed off their report generation, and that is not quite there. The report they showed looked polished and nice. What it spit out for me was not looking up to that standard...still, I may need to set up a few options to get that to show up nice. Not clear on that.

Sustainability is a nice tool for sure on a part level LCA. I love that it will be easy for designers to use! They just need to polish off the interface a little more....]]> Tue, 04 Aug 2009 12:24:15 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=sustainability#comment-117 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=blueprintnow#comment-116 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:05:28 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=blueprintnow#comment-116 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=pstudio#comment-115 But I'm facing a problem with it.

The problem with the button previews may have to do with an OpenGL setting in SolidWorks. To change the setting, please go to Options -> Performance and uncheck the "Use Software OpenGL" option. All SW documents must be closed in order to change this setting.

Please report back to us whether or not it worked. Thanks!

1 - Long names. Typically our file format for major assemblies without our machines are "number station description", so naming something "123 456 B0 STA 01 LOAD COMPONENT" is a pretty typical filename. Problem here is that the tree view shows me the first 9 characters and some dots indicating that the name is longer than it likes to show. Frustrating when you're trying to see what you've already done and have to click each individual filename and scroll through with the arrow keys to see the rest.

2 - Linking to existing files. Pretty much the only way to survive in business, even in custom machinery, is to use standard subassemblies that do common things. Not being able to drag an assembly of a common component into the tree is pretty hindering.

3 - Export feature. Each custom machine we build uses a machine-specific assembly template for top level assemblies, and standard assembly templates for the rest. Obviously, this is not possible in the program's current configuration.

Other then all this, it seems like a great start. I very much hope to see this progress, as I definitely would put it to good use.]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:25:00 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-94 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=gallerywidget#comment-93 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:57:24 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=gallerywidget#comment-93 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=pstudio#comment-92

Existing parts, assemblies, drawings easy to include
Ability to add custom icons for vendor purchased parts
Ability to add stuff like glue, pipe, cables, wire, etc
Ability to reshape the layout more to my liking - horizontal lines instead of diagonal, etc.
Ability to switch subassemblies and other icons on and off (explode and implode BOMs)
Ability to reference other trees without showing them
Ability to change color, shape etc of icons for specific requirements.
Tie ins to Parts and Vendors and similar. i.e. if I create a part in P&V, it creates an icon in Treehouse - and vice versa.
Hyperlink capability for each icon to other drawings assemblies, images, spec documents, test procedures, ECNs, etc.
Hyperlink icons to web addresses
Autocreation of part numbers to our standards
Auto add parts created with bottom up design in S/W

The final requirement is that the finished S/W assembly and Treehouse should match exactly. i.e Treehouse IS the BOM.

I can do most of this in Powerpoint now, so you've got to come up with something really special to make me change!

"What would be REALLY sweet is if you could add existing Parts/Assemblies to the tree."

SolidWorks Enterprise PDM Client creates a "Vault View" in the location you specify, which behaves like a virtual folder. It is our experience that using Treehouse to create SolidWorks documents directly in an EPDM Vault View works very smoothly.

Thanks!]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:10:32 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-55 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-54
but for 2D drawing file's best name is same to the souce part or asm file automaticly. if not, difficult to find the correct 2D drawing file from the part or asm file in the future]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2009 02:21:53 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-54 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-53 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 08:53:55 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-53 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=pstudio#comment-52

During a test run this morning, I created a top level assembly with parts and several levels of sub-assemblies under it. Drawings were defined for all assemblies, subs and parts. Treehouse found all my templates without help, so it's menu already included my part/metric part template as well as the various drawing templates - ASME a,b,c, etc..

I assigned unique names to all documents in the tree. The tree was then sent to Solidworks with a one button click. On opening the top level assembly in S/Ws, the feature tree showed (as expected) the entire structure with all names in place. Drawings were linked.

This is NICE. There will surely be more files added as a typical projects moves forward, but this is a great organizational start.]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:45:58 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-49 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-48

Also, I see that if the template has Custom properties in it you can use the custom properties... but.. it would be even better if you could select a custom properties tab to use.

Al in all great work... I see this being a VERY useful tool!!]]> Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:46:00 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=treehouse#comment-43 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-42 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:15:52 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-42 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-41
I'm off to download tagger so I can give it a try!

Has anyone thought about how to see these tags other than within a SW session?]]> Sat, 13 Dec 2008 10:42:28 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-41 http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-40 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:09:04 GMT http://labs.solidworks.com/Products/product.aspx?name=tagger#comment-40
