    heat pipes for car engines?

    My goal is to design a IC engine cooling system with an inlet and exhaust, and the least possible resistance to airflow through the cooling matrix. With conventional radiators there is substantial restriction with the fin and tube construction. I am looking at using a liquid heat sink for the...

    how do you activate a new axis

    Hi itsmyjob, I found the 'other axis' option in the caliper measurement thing, and it works, but doesn't that make the 'set axis as current' property in the axis on the tree, redundant? And since you have to pick the option with every measurement, my macro program will still not work, since it...

    how do you activate a new axis

    Thank you both for your help. I can certainly set the new axis to active. However, when I use the caliper thing to measure the coordinates of a point, the resulting values still come from the default axis, not the new one. I have heard that this may be a bug with V5R13.

    jackk, did you ever solve the 'reflect curve based on a pt' problem?

    Jackk, Thank you for the help! You have saved me from a lot of time and effort!

    jackk, did you ever solve the 'reflect curve based on a pt' problem?

    I am still trying to find a way in V5 to create a reflect curve on a surface based on a point. You had the same problem; any luck in resolving it?

    how do you activate a new axis

    I have a V5 macro program that needs to use a different coordinate system for the model. So I tried the axis function to create a new axis. But I can't find a way to make it active. Workaround: move geometry all over the place, which is a pain.

    V5 reflect curve based on a point

    Curve1-Reflect-Conic I need this capability in V5! If anyone knows how, please let us know!
