In this example we have an STI threaded hole that requires a the thread insert and some kind of thread locker. Its simple to define a local assembly process for this.
1. In the Drawing, add the balloon as usual. Flag note 6 next to the STI (item 3) points us to an assembly note on page one.
2. Right click on item 3 and choose "Add to Stack" from the drop down menu. We do have the option of choosing the direction of where the balloon stack will go.
3. In order to make the balloon stay, we need to select a part for it to reference. Just choose to main part (in this case, item one) depending on how your defaults are set up. You should have two items ones. My balloon selection is set to "Item Number".
4. Now we need to edit the second item number one to reflect what's actually on the BOM. This needs needs to be edited manually. In this case our thread locker is item 2 with a quantity of "AR" (As Required). Click on the balloon and select "Text" from the Balloon text entry on the Balloon Settings menu.
5. All that's left is define the quantity of "AR" next to the balloon..which of course is optional. Your BOM should match up with your balloons.

SolidWorks will generally run on any graphics card that supports OpenGL. For a production environment, using one of the "green-lighted" cards on their website is highly recommended.. . Using a non-recommended card will typically result in reduced performance, which could include all or some of the following symptoms:. * Slow and choppy zoom/pan/rotate.. * Bad repaint (leftover highlighted objects, mouse trails, blank dialogs, etc.). * Ghosting of document windows in the background showing through other document windows in the foreground.. * Frequent crashing.. . The SolidWorks software will typically detect an unsupported graphics card and automatically enable "Software OpenGL" mode. This mode reduces the demands on the graphics hardware and driver, resulting in increased stability but decreased performance (slow/choppy). You can manually set this option by closing all open documents and going to Tools > Options > Performance, and turn on "Use software OpenGL.". . Finally, if you're most interested in rendering (ray-tracing) using PhotoWorks, then the graphics card actually doesn't matter. Photorendering is done in the processor. A fast, dual-core CPU, and a good amount of RAM will help your PhotoWorks usage, not the graphics card you're using.
