2009 runs fine with no crashes so far on my work pc. Running a separate install on some test assemblies.
Disappointed in a few things.
Laughed at the claiming of support for dual monitors when of the left hand feature/property/config manager that takes up large real estate on the left side...
I have a gaming card on my home system which costs about 1/3 of my cad card at work, and I notice no difference in performance. I do not get realview, but thats just eye candy for my specific instance and not something required.
I also dont use assemblies that have more than 100 parts, so your...
We use Cessco in Edmonton for our rolling of cyclinders with a flat profile. They also are able to hold the same tolerances. All of our rolls we have are crowned for creating a cylinder with a peaked center which wouldn't work for your case.
http://www.cessco.ca is their website. You would...
Impossible? Give my head a shake?
Maybe in your facility its not possible. In ours we do this every day. We have cylinders rolled up to 150" long, anywhere from 20" to 100" diameter from plate ranging from 1/2" to 2-1/2" thick. The products have a T.I.R. specification of less than .030".

In regards to my problem of the pop-up warning about "you are trying to change a dimension controlled by a design table"
-there is no checkbox on that warning to not show in the future
-the design table is set to allow changed not block block them
-the design table is set to not show warnings...
On a similar subject. The one warnign pop up box I want to remove is the one that says "you are trying to change a dimension that is controlled by a design table". That dimension pops up in 2008 now whenever i just move a dimension.
I can see that message popping up if i double click to...
Thanks for the replies
TheTick : A misunderstanding, we don't keep adding one more configuration with each new design. We use pack & go, create a new set of files, and use design tables to pick which config we use of parts which are purchasable parts(referenced only). All the manufactured parts...
Since i'm midstream in upgrading our modeling and drafting process's and procedures, including upgrading of all our template files, skeleton sketches, and template drawings, i have the opportunity to change how we organize our drawings.
We only manufacture one main product, but it is custom...
The one that came with 2007 which i believe was the express version was insufficient. As such we created design tables and now use embedded macros to accomplish our design input system. It is fairly extensive system, using excel with about 20 pages/tabs deep of data, leads one through the input...
One can only hope that 2009 fixes zero length dimensions :)
My fear is they seem to keep heading towards a modeler that more resembles maya/3dmax and other free form type artistic modeling, and less towards cad/manufactured modeling. In which case i anticipate more added features for pushing...
Thanks for the replies.
I actually simplified if for the above example. The shaft has a series of 4 turndowns on each end. One side does not always equal the other side, such as a shaft with no drive attachments, one with a single drive, one with a drive on each end, etc. any 2 turndowns may...
