    Scale in Note.

    No thats not it, thread559-155291 Thats basically the standard SW help. When you have a standard view (not detail etc). We put multiple parts on one sheet & sometimes scale them differently, how can we show the scale for each part on the drawing in a note: We have good reasons to do this.

    Dimension arc length. to control min max arc.

    Tried both ways when it does not work? Can't work out why some will work on drawing then it won't?

    Rounding dimensions to nearest 0.5

    How can we get SW2005 to round drawing dimensions to the nearest 0.5mm? This is for structural steel and workshop does not work to better than 0.5mm. Reason (this is only 1 example) we don't model to exact is say we want to dimension to the middle of SHS89 (Square Hollow Section) it would be...

    Hi, i think I had some success with 6800NU. I start with the complete instructions from www.nvworld.ru Rivatuner & softquadro4. Had a 4200x8 to start that worked as Quadro. Then got a partially faulty 6800NU put that in without uninstalling driver & it detected it as FX4000 ! Also there is a...

    Skeleton model
