    Rendering Clear Plastic

    Can anyone suggest a good place to start when rendering clear plastic? I need to generate a very realistic image of a product, but everything I try in Photoworks looks very bad. For the material, do I use Polycarbonate, Polypropylene, Glass? I need a white background, but don't know if I can...

    Scaling Decals

    Timoteo, I do not have that much experience with PW. I took a digital image of a piece of aluminum treadplate.

    Sheet Metal A Plastic Part

    Does anyone know how to create a circular sheet metal part, when it has cutouts that do not pass completely through the part? If I sheet metal a block that has a cutout the whole way through, it will work. If the cutout stops short of the opposite wall, it will not work. This is a model of a...

    Linking Attributes To Drawing Template

    Hi, Can anyone tell me how to link part or assembly attributes to notes in a drawing template? I would like to have a title block fill in automatically when a view of a part or assembly is made. I believe this is possible, but the help files are not very helpful. Thank you, Jack
