    Weld nut Supplier

    Anybody have a good supplier for 7/8-9 UNC Weld nuts? I need to get a handful in for an application and I haven't been able to find anybody stocking anything larger that 3/4-10. Joe Hasik, CSWP

    pneumatic routes/piping

    Looked at E3. Based on what I saw, I would recommend Traceparts ElecWorks, now SW Electrical. All native. E3 will have you moving parasolids back and forth. Joe Hasik, CSWP

    Recommendations for Pressure Relief Valve Manufacturers

    Is anybody aware of a pressure relief valve manufacturer that can do large valves (say 6" flange connections) suitable for Hydrogen service? We are in the process of designing a liquid ring hydrogen compressor and have run into a problem sourcing a non cast iron valve that would be suitable for...

    pneumatic routes/piping

    We had a similar hard sell when it came to Routing. We do an incredible amount of piping and tubing runs on a daily basis. After getting the libraries set up correctly and, more importantly, everyone disciplined in proper use of the libraries and tools, we are able to meet our promised ROI. What...

    NEMA 8 Enclsoure

    Just got off the phone with Adalet, after contacting NEMA for manufacturer recommendations. was basically told "If you find somebody that makes a NEMA 8 box please let us know". In a nutshell I was told that NEMA 8 exists as a rating for oil immersed contacts that would go in to an XP enclosure...

    NEMA 8 Enclsoure

    Positive. I thought the same thing at first as well. I've gotten some mixed results in my searches, but all at least agree that NEMA 8 is for hazardous locations. Not sure if NEMA 8 would use a NEMA 7 panel and simply has different requirements for the components that go into it. Couple of...

    Sub-Assemblies/BOM: Can you have the BOM show components of some, but just assy for others?

    Eric, Does that change the state of the "Show child parts in BOM" option of the assembly? I believe OP was trying to avoid that. I'm running 2012 so I can't check the 2011 behavior. Joe Hasik, CSWP

    Sub-Assemblies/BOM: Can you have the BOM show components of some, but just assy for others?

    Strange, I know it was available in 2011. Joe Hasik, CSWP

    Sub-Assemblies/BOM: Can you have the BOM show components of some, but just assy for others?

    Depending on the version of SW you are using: 1.) Select the assembly BOM. 2.) On the left side of the BOM you will see three arrows pointing left, click on them. 3.) A fly out tool bar for the BOM will appear. There will be a minus sign in a box next to each assembly. Click on that for the...

    Swapping dimensions on a Limit Dimension

    Thanks CBL. I didn't think it would be that...simple? Stupid? Manual? Not sure which adjective I want to use there. All the same, thanks. Joe Hasik, CSWP

    Swapping dimensions on a Limit Dimension

    Folks, Have kind of a strange one that I find rather unnecessary, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Is anybody aware of a way to swap the values, top for bottom, on a limit dimension such as is posted in the attached image? In the image I am looking to swap things so that 13.031 is on top and...

    Balloon Non-Visible Components

    Ah, now it all becomes clear. Depending on your modeling approach, the requirement of a virtual component makes the feature almost completely useless. And, as usual, the undocumented "enhancement" gave us all more of a run around that it was worth. *Shakes head in mild frustration* Joe Hasik, CSWP

    Balloon Non-Visible Components

    CBL, See the attached post from the SW forums detailing a bit of what I mean. https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/17364 Joe Hasik, CSWP
