    .bak Files

    marisse Haggis already said that. The issue is that mrspetos doesn't want to eliminate the .bak files. He wants them to be saved in a different location.

    .bak Files

    A DOS command is an interesting solution. Let us expand for a moment. Are there other ways to clear the hard drive of .bak files if you cannot access a DOS prompt or use the search feature? I have worked for places in the past where I could only access AutoCAD and Ideas. I couldn't so much...

    .bak Files

    I am not saying they are bad I am agreeing with mrspetos when he says they are a nusiance. I know when I have a hundred drawings in a folder it would be much nicer to see only the drawings and not the .bak files too. I am fine with the fact that .bak files exsist but I wish they were in a temp...

    .bak Files

    I sense some unnecessary sarcasm. It is not hard to delete files but it IS a royal PITA to delete them when you are handling several (maybe even 100’s of) drawings a day. It is one more redundant and ridiculous task to do before you can continue with the rest of your work. Then consider a...

    .bak Files

    I am busy enough. Very monotonous which makes it boring. I'd rather be designing engines. How about you? The MOVEBAK command is not compatible with autolisp in a command but there is a way around it. From Autodesk's site: The following example runs the MOVEBAK command from the AutoCAD...

    .bak Files

    mrspetos, To save the .bak files elsewhere after any save operation (save, quick save, and save as) you need to use the MOVEBAK Express Tool. You must key-in MOVEBAK or go to the Express menu>select tool>then move bak files>then give it the location (path) for the .bak file. imhuge999 (AKA...

    Dual Stage Fuel injectors?

    I went through some piles stuff and cannot find anything. I suspect it is in my shop and it looks like a bomb went off in there. Anyhow since injectors are pulsewidth modulated simply vary the pulse to get the flow you are after. You don't have to have a fancy injector for that.

    Dual Stage Fuel injectors?

    I would suggest looking into injectors that are used in multi-pulsed HCCI applications. I think I know of some companies that make what you are talking about. Let me dig through my piles of stuff and see if I can find some info. I believe AVL makes something like what you are talking about...

    Cam drive noise reduction

    Wow. I forgot about this thread. This was a while ago. FYI the nodal cam drive we were talking about is a cam that is driven from the outup (flywheel) end of the engine as opposed to the front end.

    Cam drive noise reduction

    I do not doubt that a gear drive on a CI engine would have some harsh modes but I did not see that Ivymike mentioned anything about CI engines. The whole project started with a guy and his idea and we ran with it. The purpose of my involvementwas to replace the front cam drive on an engine to...

    Cam drive noise reduction

    I have some experience with this. My original idea that actually led to some (but very little) success was to machine a flywheel that had a diameter in the center that would run the cam and an outer diameter that grabbed the starter. (It made the flywheel look similar to a v-belt pulley except...
