I am working on the part design for a collapsible container that has a center section made up of bellows (similar to the picture below). The intention is that as the container is emptied out, the bellows could be latched one-by-one and the container would become shorter to permit easier access...
I'm tasked with designing a lift system for a frame that goes around the outside of a 12" x 18" rectangular structure. Due to budgetary constraints, we don't have many choices and a pneumatic system is what we tentatively settled on.
The preliminary design has four air cylinders, one at each...
I just built a new machine with XP Pro. SE has started doing all sorts of weird things (crashing, hanging, etc.). I only have SE patch #4 installed, so I was wondering if that has something to do with it.
Or, was v11 never meant to work with XP? If so, when did XP compatibility start...
Does anyone know how to run a global interference check?
I'm sick of having to click on each and every part in my assembly every time I want to check it.
I'm using v11.
Thanks,
Chris
I've received a similar error in the past. Might be related, might not.
When I work on the parts of an assembly, their features change. Sometimes the constraints will become invalid because of the changes.
i.e. Add draft to a part, on face that is used for a constraint. Since the part can't...
Your model is out of date. The grey corners signify that something is wrong.
There are 3 things that can show up: a thin grey box around the drawing, thick grey corners, or both.
The thin grey box means that the part file is newer than the view in the drawing. This typically happens when you...
Hi,
I was handed a model of a part and it's my job to design the injection mold that'll produce it. I'm having trouble defining the split-line, as it travels along radiused, splined surfaces for most of the part.
Has anyone found a plug-in that integrates with SE?
Thanks,
Chris Kirchen
That's happened to me before too. Entire toolbars would go into hiding. Unfortunately, a reboot didn't solve it this time.
Shortly after I posted, I did find a solution. I forgot all about this thread until the notifier e-mailed me!
Anyway, here's how I got the command to un-grey:
It...
I've been working on the same assembly for a while now. About an hour ago, I went to move one of the parts with the 'Move Part' command. But, the button was greyed out and didn't work.
I know it greys out when all the parts in the assembly are fully constrained. I have a few that aren't, so...
Hi,
Try turning down the hardware acceleration on your video card. Right click on the desktop and it's under:
Properties > Advanced > Troubleshooting
Set the slider one tick to the left and check to see if SE is any better. Keep going, one tick at a time, until it's OK. You'll have to...
Since most of my designs end up as plastic parts, almost every face requires a draft and every edge requires a round.
When in the concept stage of a design, usually I don't want to worry about the drafts, rounds, and chamfers. I'm focused on solving the problem at hand. Adding the drafts...
Hi all,
I've got an interesting problem.
I finished designing the rough version of a part the other day. Today, I went back and started to add rounds, chamfers, drafts, etc.
Not all of the features could be added to the end of the feature list, so I used the Goto command a couple of times...
High and dry is right. We've been using SE since version 5. Last year, my company hit a really bad dry spell and we had to cut back to the bare necessities. Maintenance was not one of them.
By reading this forum and others, I know that there are at least 6 or 7 patches for V11. When I...
