    Will this PC be able to handle heavy-duty modelling and rendering?

    As far as I understand it a 32bit system can actually support 4GB Ram. The 3GB switch is used to reserve 1GB for system memory and allow your programs to use the remaining 3GB. see http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEmem.mspx

    How to move a hole callout?

    Thanks CorBlimey. Last night I found I could add an extra leader to the callout with a ctrl drag. It seems a shame that the original leader can't then be deleted without, deleting the callout.

    Dimension reporting in Exel BOM's for multiple configurations

    I have a Part with two length configurations. In my BOM at the assembly level I am using the length dimension as part of my cutting list, but it only ever reports the dimension in the configuration that the part was last saved at. Is there any way to link the configuration length to a cell in...

    Flip Directions in a Design Table?

    I think I've solved it. I ended up creating a new configuration and supressing the first bend then creating the opposite bend using the original sketch. I still seems a little inelegant to me but has solved the problem.

    Flip Directions in a Design Table?

    Essentially what i Have is a sheet metal part that is used as drawn and opposite hand. I could mirror the part to achieve the desired result, but thought there must be a way to control the direction of a fold using configurations.

    Flip Directions in a Design Table?

    Happy New Year! Does anybody know if there is a way to flip the direction of a sheet metal bend in a design table? Actually I suppose the same syntax should also work for flipping an extrude direction.

    Dimensioning Query

    Is it Possible to list the names of dimensions used in features?(eg. the dimension controlling a draft angle in an extrude or the Number of instances in an array) Also is it possible to change the names of dimensions within features? (eg. change D1@extrude1 to A@extrude1) Any Help greatly...
