I'm trying to insert the louver that comes with Solidworks and when I drag it over from the Design Library to a simple plate that I've already added the Sheet-Metal feature to, I get the following error: "Are you trying to make a derived part?"
If I say Yes, then it starts the derived part process (bad). If I say No then it simply opens the louver in it's own window. At no time do I get the preview that I recall seeing in 2004. Anyone know what stupid mistake I'm making here?
Matthew,
Works here, SW2005 SP0.1. There's only one louver tool in the default library, so I'm assuming it's the same one.

OK, I've just been down this road.
RMB on your forming tolls folder and make sure that in the popup you have it selected as such. All should work as expected now.
HTH, Muggs
Bless you sir. That did the trick.

I'll take the blessing, but it was my VAR that needed to help me.
Glad that did the trick. Muggs
