Is there a version of eDrawings\u00ae 2015, compatible with the 32-bit version of Windows\u00ae 7 SP1, that can open SOLIDWORKS\u00ae part, assembly, or drawing files?
\n<\/b>Yes. eDrawings 2015 Special Edition (SE) is available, as a one-time-only release. You can download this version of eDrawings from the \u2018FREE CAD TOOLS\u2019 tab of the SOLIDWORKS downloads page<\/a>.
\nNOTE: There will not be any future SE releases.
\nFrom Solution Id: S-068140<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why might Hole Wizard Favorites data be lost after upgrading to SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 2015?<\/strong>
\nStarting from SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 2015, earlier data must be converted because the copy of the earlier file \u201cHoleWizardFavorites.mdb\u201d in the appropriate folder does not work anymore. The procedure to follow is given in Solution Id: S-068042<\/a>.<\/p>\n When using SOLIDWORKS 2014 or SOLIDWORKS 2015, is it possible to import a DWG or DXF file type created in AutoCAD 2014 or AutoCAD 2015?<\/strong>
\nYes, it is possible.
\nAutodesk does not change the DWG or DXF file format with each new release of AutoCAD. Autodesk typically uses a three year cycle when changing file formats. As of February 2015, the last time they changed the file format was with the release of AutoCAD 2013.

What should be configured after changing the server name where MS SQL server is running and used for hosting SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Enterprise PDM vault database?<\/b>
\nWhen the server, where MS SQL server is running and used for hosting SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Enterprise PDM vault database, is renamed; then follow the appropriate sections in the chapter \u201cMoving Server Components to Another System\u201d in the \u201cInstallation Guide\u201d. More information in Solution Id: S-067970<\/a>.<\/p>\n What could cause the error \u201cCould not login to SolidWorks Workgroup PDM. User \u201c<users>\u201d not found.\u201d when trying to login the SOLIDWORKS\u00ae Workgroup VaultAdmin tool?
\n<\/b>This error may be caused by the Workgroup service not finding user information of the vault, which is stored in the file \u201cusers.pdmw\u201d under the folder \u201c\u2026\\VaultData\\pdmrc\\\u201d.\u00a0 To troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps in Solution Id: S-068052<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"icon](\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Flow-Simulation-icon.png\"){kind=icon}
Why is the Fan curve option \u201cFree blowing pressure increase\u201d option recommended when fan manufacturer datasheets usually use \u201cpfs\u201d the static pressure drop?<\/strong>
\nThe Flow Simulation developers recommend the \u201cFree blowing pressure increase\u201d option (Pfa = Pstatic outlet \u2013 Ptotal inlet). See the mathematical and physical justification in Solution Id: S-068212<\/a>.<\/p>\n
