In the new 2013 SP 0, Measure tool (tape ruler icon) has an option to measure point to point, minimum between circles and project on plane.
I have just discovered, that if the perpendicular from cylinder center does not overlap the face you want to measure to, it gives the distance to nearest...
CorBlimeyLimey is right;
If your wing narrows in toward the end, you will have to set up planes one through the wing perpendicular to the flow, and a lot (one for each groove) parallel to flow. Make a sketch from the interfering model and flow-parallel planes, make a sketch of the groove on the...
Why not make two BOM templates, one for your native language, one for german.
Insert the required BOM (You have a choice option on inserting BOM).
Alas- you will anyway have to decide, if resulting drawing should have german or other language.
The german BOM could be a copy of the first, where...
Actually You request a measure to something which is not there. As VERTICAL is not defined by any line, It´s impossible to measure. If you want it invisible, either do the line and after the dim i set, right-click it and hide it; or insert a plane in the model and give the edge an angle to this...
Hello Helpful Forum!
I've just got a new job. They have used Inventor for some years now, but it appears I'm more or less the only one to do mech. drawings here. As I'm used to SW, how far is readability from Inventor to SW progressed? I have so far only found this question and answers in files...
for scanning, as the sheet size are sometimes quite large, maybe a digital camera with a relative high resolution - a full size Nikon or Canon with a good quality fixed length lens can do a lot.
It might also be a much faster way than using a traditional scanner. You would need a setup as used...

Just adding a link to help finding tools.
It is possible to roll a tread after flowdrill, I've had some parts made this way in AISI304L, 1mm thick, M3 tread. The screws goes in fine, but I shall not be able to say about the low-pressure tightness as our need was just...
Heckler:
It could be the manufacturer, who would like to have a dxf as their manufacturing setup is tuned in for this. If they recieve designs from a lot of different people, it would shure be nice to have it all in a form where you don't have to think different every time. You wouldn't change...
I have occationally the same in SW2000; when in solid mode.
The sketch reappears visual when you switch to one of the wireframe modes.

Ok, i'll request it from SW-Corp.
The reason why I would like to keep wmf is that the documents are not written by me, that is the people there are used to the wmf format and every change does take time to ajust to something you like or can accept.
(I'm just upgrading from SW2000 to SW2005, and...
I haven't tried inserting a pdf in a text document, actually, i'm not sure it does without problems. I have used pdf for mailing drawings of new parts to our suppliers.
If you insert a pdf in a doc, would it be like inserting a bmp or TIFF as a graphics-area?
Again if I convert to dxf, the nice...
The sales department often wishes to have a draft in the proposals. We normally did this using Windows Meta File (*.wmf), as this gives a vectorized output which can be scaled in a Word og StarOffice text document and still keep a nice sharp line quality. If I export using TIFF, the lines are...
If you just want raytracing, try the OSLO LT download:
http://www.sinopt.com/
Might be easier for optics.
This is for designing lenses and mirrors.
I tried (manually) in SW-sketch, but this will only give a direction, not the intensity of a ray of light. The Oslo programme allows to show the...
