I am looking for a 3D model of an ASCO pilot operated slide valve U8401B101 and have not been able to find one. What do ya'll (Texas term for Yuz Guys) do? I thought I would check here first before modeling one. I looked thru the SolidWorks design library with no success.
Thanks in advance...
The before mentioned document is great, but our specific situation relates to all new drawings. We are a start up company, just under two years old, and our standards are being clarified and documented still. I try to add my input when I can, but sometimes they fall on deaf ears who want to do...
If nothing else the forum posters here sure cover the bases. Thanks all for your help. I will address this person with diplomatic finess and see if I can turn this injustice around.

Thanks all for your input on this. I pointed out to this individual that our drawing titleblock stated "Interpret Drawing Per ASME Y14.5M-1994 (R2004)", but he insisted that it was an acceptable practice. I was thrown by the statement and came to this forum for some back-up.
If anyone can find...
We are using ASME Y14.5M-1994 (R2004) on our detail drawings and I have a question. I am being told that the standard says one can use the old style datum reference (I.E.: -A-) under the new standard. Is this true? I have not been able to find this statement in the standard yet.

Thanks CorBilmeyLimey and ctopher, it is working for me now. Switching back and forth between UG/NX and SolidWorks I tend to have a brain freeze on all things CADual at times. I will endeavor to remember this technique next time I come upon this requirement in a model.

OK, what did you guys do? I tried it again with the Hole Wizard and after I selected the face for location and went to Positions and hovered the cursor over the center of the boss it selected the center and I now have the threaded hole I needed.
Thanks all for thinking happy thoughts for me...
Yes, I am using the Hole Wizard and will not allow 0.00 distances off of the planes for location.

I have run into this situation before (Using SW2007) and have yet to figure out the best/easiest method to do this. I have a round boss created with revolve and now would like to add a threaded hole in the center of that boss. System will not allow choosing the center point using the revolve...
I have been using Unigraphics/NX since version 8 back in the early nineties and just this past year have started using SolidWorks 2007. The transition was rather painless and now that I am tri-CADual (Used AutoCAD for 2 years between 2003 and 2005) my resume is more impressive and my worth has...
John is correct, but as a clarification you could also input 0,0,0 as the Base Point for the move to location in the Point Constructor menu.

We are running SW2007 on a PC and are modeling gears. The initial model would be the blank (Gear w/o teeth.) and has its own drawing. Then we take that blank and add teeth and it becomes another part number with its own drawing.
I NX5 there is a function called promoting or wave linking giving...
Thanks hudson888,
You are correct, we are switching to NX5 and the import of the format part file works correctly in that version. The .jpeg file displays when the format is imported in. I just happened to be finishing up an older project in NX3 and found that the logo .jpeg file would not...
I am creating (NX3 on a PC) drawing formats with our new logo. I will eventually convert these format files into patterns and templates, but for now they are just NX part files.
I inserted the .jpg logo file like this: Insert > Image > Browse to .jpg file and selct it > I then resize the logo...
