    How Do I Shorten an Antique Truck Frame?

    If you have access to TNN (The National Network) on cable tv, they have shows such as "Trucks" that do that sort of thing on Saturday mornings. They might even have a Q&A on their website. 75 & beautiful Thank you West Coast, look out East Coast because Chicago is ____________ today!!

    BSCE...interest dropped after graduation.

    Hef, Yes, the key variables are necessity and desire. This is what we all must answer in the delicate balance of our existences. A lesson best learned on one's own. (75 and cloudy) Thank you West Coast, look out East Coast because Chicago is ____________ today!!

    BSCE...interest dropped after graduation.

    Haf, Do grocery stores not need employees, too? My point was only to suggest that if DNA is not ready to "be an Engineer", he/she shouldn't fight it. Enjoy life while you can. Make friends and family and eventually we all find our place in the Universe (and in the job market). But...

    BSCE...interest dropped after graduation.

    DNA - I think what you find missing is the career that you've been waiting your whole life for is not all that you had hoped it would be. Like a juror in a courtroom, if there is any doubt, you need to step back and look at it again. As I posted in another thread in this forum, life is...

    Is there more to engineering than this.?

    My thoughts are these: I am not currently, nor studying to be, an engineer. I'm just a CAD operator who has always worked in an engineering department. I have found that just about every Engineer that I've worked for is so wound up with numbers, formulas, and solutions, etc that the ability...

    Future developments of CAD????

    Every new software release needs to include a list of the jobs that it has just obsoleted by making the program easier, quicker, more intelligent, etc, etc!!! And then a fistful of resumes to hand out to the employees. (cold & breezy with some rain) Thank you West Coast, look out East Coast...

    inserting iso view into drawing

    Is the "2d" drawing a new (empty) drawing? If so, before adding the Iso block, set up the UCS in the new (2d) drawing to the same of the iso drawing (1,-1,1). If you are inserting the iso into a drawing with existing entities, try going the other way. Open the iso drawing. Set the...

    European wiring standards

    Maybe the people at www.interpower.com can help. They mainly sell the electrical components that are used on an exported product. Hope you could find what you need.

    Part numbers vs. Drawing numbers

    jdsewell, Thinking about your situation more...If I understand correctly, you have three different drawings to change when one part number changes. Sounds like us. That is why we are also looking to upgrade from AutoCAD 2000 to Pro-E or Inventor. Change one drawing, and all other prints fall...

    Part numbers vs. Drawing numbers

    The theory, I think, points to a situation where multiple parts relating to an assembly are all detailed on one drawing. He points out in his book that a company may have the same basic design envelope (needing only one drawing to show the design) with the opportunity to have variants within...

    Part numbers vs. Drawing numbers

    Good day everyone. This site has been a very nice resource for me in the five days that I've been a member. I hope that I can receive a little schooling here by some of you folks. This is a question about Engineering theory, I believe. I am reading "Bill of Material, Structured for...
