    SolidWorks to Inventor?

    He was able to read the STEP file I sent him after all... It seems likely that the problem was not the software :-) Thanks, though for all the suggestions.

    SolidWorks to Inventor?

    Forgive me for posting a question which I'm sure has been answered in the past. For some reason, I'm unable to search this forum right now, I have a customer using Inventor requesting a solid model of our product. I've taken my assembly, saved it as a part and sent it to him in .sat, .step, and...

    work after having baby

    Metgirl05, Congratulations. I think some people on this board are overdoing it a bit with the “never get a job if you take time off” warnings. When I graduated, I was unable to find an engineering job, and ended up doing something completely different (non-technical sales) for two and a half...

    Keeping Women in Engineering

    Up until lately I’ve had a pretty typical woman-in-engineering experience: graduated in a class of 5-10% women, worked primarily with men, was mostly treated like “one of the guys” (in a good way) with only a few exceptions. Now, I work in an engineering department in which half of the engineers...

    What interview questions are actually useful?

    Thanks for all of the ideas, everyone. The posts have really given me a lot to think about. I’m very concerned about identifying people who would and wouldn’t be a good “fit” for the position and for the company. We’ve lost a number of engineers over the past year, about half of which, I’d say...

    What interview questions are actually useful?

    Just a year after the completion of my 2-1/2 year horrendous job search, I find myself in the position of interviewing others for the position I started in. I've never interviewed people before, and although I know what I don't like about interview questions, I'm having a hard time coming up...

    Parts/Assemblies Checking into Vault as "Standard Library Documents"

    Ahah! The folder that I was checking in from was mistakenly designated as a "Standard Library Document" folder. Mystery solved. Rebecca

    Parts/Assemblies Checking into Vault as "Standard Library Documents"

    Nothing was built from toolbox parts- they were all made from scratch. Everything is going into the right project folder- in fact they are going into the same folder as my previous checkin- which I had no problems with. Rebecca

    Parts/Assemblies Checking into Vault as "Standard Library Documents"

    I am checking in parts and assemblies (created by someone else) to the vault. But instead of showing up as parts and assemblies in the vault, they are showing up as file type: "Standard Library Document". I checked in some of my own files earlier today without incident. (I'm using SW 2005 SP...
