Whats your practice in writing dates on the Engineering drawings. I design & create drawings. In general, I work on a design for 3 months & then create drawings. What should the Drawn Date & Design Date recorded on the title block of the drawing. ~ BT

Thanks a lot. That's perfect. ~ BT

Hi, I read about creating water mark on the drawings and successfully created a water mark. For this I edited the sheet format and placed an annotation text. I notice that the light colored water mark is actually opaque & blocking (overlapping)the visibility of views/dims in their location. How...

If I understand it correct, SW with provide a color coded numeric value with min and max for "Displacement". It wont measure Deformation, instead play an animation showing the min & max "Deformation" ~ BT

I have a question on reading the results of a Stress analysis of a part. What is the difference between Deformation & Displacement ~ BT

You may want to consider Breakout Section View ~ BT

Thats true in SolidWorks, I am not sure in AutoCAD ~ BT

When I type a string in the filter, only feature manager tree gets filtered showing only items meeting the string criteria. But the graphic shows all the parts. I want it to filter too. ~ BT

If you are accessing parts of a sub-assembly dont ignore Flexible and Rigid properties. ~ BT

ArtL, Good work around. SW will allow this work around solution. But my documentation control dept might not, Because, we will need to check-in to vault, 2 assembly files for the same product. Will try to check if they permit. Thanks. ~ BT

I am quite sure. But want to hear if its right. I have an assembly and want to create 2 exploded views. I think its not possible to create more than 1 exploded view per configuration. I think I need to create a Derived cfg to have the 2nd exploded view. Any other possible ways? Thanks BT ~ BT

While we are on this topic, I have a question about roll forming this profile to get a nice radius (R 129") - Will there be a Straight segments at the ends (holding lengths) ? OR can we achieve radius throughout the part? ~ BT

Thanks for the tip ~ BT

Hello, I am trying to balloon a drawing view for small sub assembly. For one of the parts, I am expecting SW to call out as 2, instead it calls out as *. How can I fix this. ~ BT

Hi, In our assembly section, we use electric nut/screw drivers. Because, they are magnetic, the fasteners are captive in the tool and makes it easier with lesser handling. Now, I am looking for ideas on similar lines to drive a stainless steel fasteners. Are there any ways to reduce the...
