In the assembly model I previously posted, is it possible to make a design table in the assembly and drive the parts from that? I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to make changes in the assembly to the center duct plate, and have it redraw the flanges. What is basically happening is the...
Hello,
I apologize in advance for asking such a simple question, but I am struggling to change my display styles in Autocad. I am running 2008 MEP and I would like to have the default setup for any new drawing I open to have the snaps off, the grid off, and the view style to be realistic. I...

Take a look at the Fill Pattern function. It will do what you want without the need for equations.
I tried the fill pattern, but it did not seem to do the trick.
Thank you so very much for the rapid replies. I have made quite a bit of progress and am uploading my model that I have built so far. I have run into 1 small snag. The center piece on the assembly is just to show duct open size, and the side flanges are modled to it. I followed the steps...
Good morning to everybody. I have a question about configurations. I am trying to build a rectangular flat duct flange to weld onto the end of a piece of HVAC ducting. My customer specs that I must pre hole the flange for him, and the max centerline distance between holes cannot exceed 2"...
Hello,
I am using SW 2007, and am wondering if it is possible to have SW create drawings of the weldment parts. I can do a "save bodies" and "rip" the weldment sections into separate part files, which I could make drawings of. the problem is, that once ripped I think they lose relations to...
First I would like to again thank the people who helped with this post. Those macros are awesome and work very well.
Again I have to ask for help though. I have used the above macros to create thousands of part files. Now I have been tasked with creating flat pattern dxf's of all those part...
Quantities vary from 1 up to 340. The number of parts is well in the thousands. This is something that does happen often, and if I could find semi automated way, I could start and let it just run through the night.
Actually, I apologize I posted that last comment prematurely. There is one step I am missing. In the spreadsheet it also denotes the quantity of each line item to be brought into the assembly. I have now taken this spreadsheet created configs, and am able to import them all into a seembly ...
We currently use Sigma Nest with SW 2007, and found it to be very compatable.
Pros: It integrates very well. We will have a piece of furniture (sheet metal) modeled, and just tell Sigma Nest to import that model. It will run SW in the background, generate flat patterns off all the parts in...
I have a interesting problem before me. I cuurently use SW 2007, and Sigma Nest. Sigma Nest will pull in a assembly from SW , flatten the parts, and nest them for our laser. sigma Nest will look at an assembly and automatically generate the flat patterns in SW, import the correct number of...
