I have a macro which I pieced together from another one found on the web. It saves a drawing as a pdf and names the file with a concatenated list of properties. My problem is that the properties I want it to look at are in the part file, not the drawing, and I don't know how to get the macro to...
Why can't you create two assembly files, one saved as the part# of the as-cast part, the other as the part# of the machined part. Both assemblies will have a single instance of the same model inserted into them, but in the "machined" assembly the part will be configured (gasp) with the machined...
You are correct. That change allows the macor to funciton. Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything, because as you might have noticed I never populated the array that's being sorted with the names of the sheets. Do you mind trying to take a stab at that using the getnames function?
My problem...
OK here's my 2nd try. I've truncated this to onyl encompass the issue I'm concerned with.
Please, if anyone can help me with this, I'd be grateful. This one gives me "Subscript out of range" on the "First = LBound(sheetNameArray())" line in the sub-routine.
Thanks,
James...
No, but if you need a pattern in a 3D sketch, you can created it in a regular sketch and then use the convert entities command to transfer your pattern from the 2D sketch to the 3D sketch.
I'm new to VBA and this macro-writing business, but here is my attempt.
This macro:
-inserts a sheet, naming it with the correct number (it does not get called sheetcount + 1 because we want to disregard one of the sheets when numbering them)
-Deletes a particular template note on inserted...
You might consider using a program called mIRC, to send your parts files over an IRC (Internet relay Chat) channel. By doing this you can avoid the hassle of FTPs and e-mail, and you won't be limited by file size (transfers only limited by your connection speed).
Of course you and whoever...
I really appreciate you going through the trouble of trying this out...I would like to see you model too..
you can send it to mcdonald@clas.net
thanks.
Thanks a lot for the help guys. I havn't tried Motionworks yet, though I've heard of it. I'll look into it. The idea for the curve is great. I didn't know you could do that. Could you maybe go a little more in-depth on what a de-limited text file is? By free points do you just mean...
Oliver, thanks for the reply.
To be honest I've just been doing some initial model studies, and haven't yet modeled the housing EXACTLY. I anticipated having troubles in this area, so I didn't want to get too far into the model and find that it was impossible.
How to model the housing...
I'm an Industrial Design Technology / Technical Graphics major currently taking my 2nd Solidworks class. I don't usually get stumped all that easy but the project I've chosen for my midterm is giving me problems.
I'm making a model of a wankel motor (like in the RX7) and am having troubles...
I posted this in the vibration/acoustics forum as well. I hope that's ok.
It seems like with each new model of car it is claimed to be some measure (30-40%) "stiffer" than the previous generation, laterally or longitudinally. For some cars, there are aftermarket parts to increase...
It seems like with each new model of car it is claimed to be some measure (30-40%) "stiffer" than the previous generation, laterally or longitudinally. For some cars, there are aftermarket parts to increase stiffness of the unibody, such as subframe braces and strut/shock tower bars...
