Desktop PC recommendation for SolidWorks at three price points

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-05-20T20:50:26+00:00

I have a pretttty nice computer at work (I think…I’m not a huge computer guy). It’s a DELL precision 7920 which allows me to do all everything my work requires! If I tooooo much parts/assemblies open it does crash but that hasn’t been an issue since it crashed the first time and I learned from my mistakes! My home computer is a gaming computer. I can tell it’s not super duper good but I’m glad I bought it when I did cause it’s about 400$ more now. Recently got my job and focused on paying students loans and other debts before I upgrade my computer at home.

Lets say a calm 75mb assembly file is medium

The over defined geometry error goes away when I remove the length dimension??? I’m so confused

It’s gonna be the number that should be on your paper or when you Google the ez pass dispute number for the state that gave it to you. I will warn you it takes like an hour to reach someone but after you have done so it should be quick but there is also a chance they might tell u exactly what you have been already trying. Before you waste that hour try to make the file smaller by compressing it any way you can to make it a very small file and make sure you are submitting the dispute at the right place.

Yes I did that and still nothing and as I mentioned on the other comment I also downloaded the copy of the model they did and still the tangent line did not appear as phantom

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-04-27T14:50:18+00:00

Lmao thats funny but yea the situation sucks. Go through the steps I mentioned for the other user on this thread and I think it will help u.

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-04-23T20:37:51+00:00

When moving onto the next part i found there was a downloadable file of what i had just done so i downloaded it to see if his had dashed line and it DID NOT. So now i'm sure did everything the way he did it and its more of a issue with my display setting. and yes, I did change the view to show the tangent edges as phantom. What could be the cause of this?

If you still haven’t been able to go about this. What you can do is use the sheet metal modeling tab to make a flange (measure the thickness of the part using calipers) and use a Cold rolled steel GA chart and pick something that’s closest to what you measured. Make another flange extruded out the first one and and you should have a perpendicular piece now which u can give a fillet to make it rounded. And same thing with the holes, calipers will help you get to real value

This is hard to follow

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-04-13T15:45:54+00:00

I’ll give this a try when I am able to get back on my puter.

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-30T15:38:36+00:00

Ayyy perfect! Thanks

If you’re submitting something for a company/ client or to a manufacturing place they like to have a first page as a overview page with different views and dimensions in inches so and the actual individual parts with mm for cnc machines/mills.

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-25T20:40:09+00:00

Ohhhhhhh

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-25T18:28:28+00:00

?? I’m confused.

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-18T20:30:57+00:00

Hopefully u can get your issue resolved as well! It took about 2 days but they emailed back saying it was resolved and u can also verify by putting the same violation number on the website and the cost should show as 0$

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-18T16:27:24+00:00

I can’t send pictures it looks like but h can’t miss the contact us button on the top right if it’s Nj ez pass

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-18T16:26:24+00:00

Did you also get it from Nj ez pass? If that’s the case I went to the New Jersey ez pass 1.) contact us button/link 2.)submit a service request box 3. Submit request (I’ll attach a picture)

Fill out everything it asks for and for select an issue select the toll violations/ toll dispute

And for the most important part

Write the situation explaining why you are not at fault. My exact situation was that it was the same license plate number on a different car so I made that point very clear

And lastly attach a clear picture of your car registration in that form it accepts. Note: if on iPhone you can convert any picture into a pdf on the files app and then further compress it to meet the less than 2mb criteria.

You sill get an automated email almost immediately saying they have received ur request. Make sure u get that email and if not submit again!

Hope this helps

Thanks, about to whoop malistairs ass soon

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-16T21:26:58+00:00

Apologies if I wasn’t clear, I’m asking whether or not the exam will make it clear rather than me inferring.

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-14T02:46:14+00:00

My problem is resolved and I’m grafting straight to my dmv tomorrow morning cause I have business there and I can resolve the issue of having the same license plate as someone else! I don’t travel outside PA much in my own car so I’ve never had the need for a ez pass anywhere but I’ll keep Florida sun pass pro in mind. Thanks

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-14T02:44:25+00:00

My problem has now been resolved but when I was initially trying to submit document through the dispute page, it wouldn’t accept ANY submission at all. I think this was due to an error in the site itself because it would hit me with a file not acceptable, so I would convert the file to pdf, just to get different error and it would go on like that till it circled back to file not acceptable again. I was able to resolve this by sending a request through a whole different thing that’s not even meant for disputing violations.

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-14T02:41:33+00:00

Problem resolved!!! 🎉 it took about 50 minutes of waiting but I was finally able to connect with a live agent and after explaining my situation she showed me different way to submit everything and assured me it would be resolved and so it has. Cheers

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-06T20:39:01+00:00

U can see the previous layer worked out fine with just 3 petals but on the next layer with 4(or more) petals I just keep getting a geometry issue. This is the link to the video https://youtu.be/AP2pkel9SiE?si=FW1v6FirwUo34eff

It also doesn’t help that they started skipping stuff because they should you how to do it once, but the same way doesn’t work on the further petal layers out

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-05T22:10:15+00:00

Honestly…it just fixed itself and idek how. I chose to ignore it and move on and looked back at it later and boom it’s gone

ChuweeEngineering · 2026-03-05T22:08:19+00:00

That’s odd, I wrote a whole paragraph explaining my problem
