AutoCAD and Inventor
As far as I know, regardless of what unit you did your design in, if you draw on a 1:1 scale in model space, all you have to do is specify the units and it will convert to inches or whatever. In the old days the command was "units" and then you went from there. I don't think you have to...
If you have Inventor 11 with simulation then you can add gravity into the assembly, give weight to the components by specifying materials in the parts. Setting up the environment correctly will give you the effect with the rolling ball - it will even bounce when it hits the wall. The snowflake...
First of all, which version of AutoCAD are you using? I am asking this because if you install more RAM, you will still be limited to 2 gigs if you are running on 32 bit Windows XP. Only AutoCAD 2007 is a 64 bit compatible version, but to use that ability and utilise more than 2 gigs of ram...
Ok I have done a sample based on your info and the downloaded ipt. I have done some screenshots if anybody can give me an idea of how to get this onto this page or wherever to share it....
Howsit,

3. Relief shape.
4. Relief width...
As I am a committed Inventor user my bias leans towards the Autodesk products. To come up in defence for Inventor, the component generators are state of the art (this is a comment from a SW customer of mine) which for pulley design should do the trick nicely for you. Get your Autodesk reseller...
Hi Sw2006,
The standard Vault installation on the dvd only works with a limited sql server as part of the installation. When you reach a certain number of users you have to install (purchase) the full sql server in order for vault to work.
Incidently, vault 5 is in my eyes better than any of...
Hi, Check the Autodesk website for their recommendations. There is even an HP link that will give you specific model numbers and performance tips. Hope it helps.
I have been using Autodesk software and not being American, maintains that this is one of the few good things coming from the big US of A - the others are root beer, jelly beans, and Camerion Diaz. We are a reseller doing a whole host of industrial type software and have certified application...
If you have a registered version of AutoCAD then you should be able to access the online training courses on their website. You have to register yourself for that and they have different topics that is covered. For a start that should do, after that use the books recommended.
Hi,
As far as I understand from our AE's if you reduce the number of files and subfolders in a project and try and stay below 200 your opening times will reduce. Something to do with the Microsoft Explorer side of things.
And yes doing more sub assy's should reduce your loading time. Try to...
