Here is another thing that I have found on the Theme issue.
If you update the graphics driver, (at least for my FX 1500 nVidia) you have to reset the theme to Vista after doing so. This means changing to a different theme and then back to the Vista theme.
I found this after going from the...
For this type of construction, where you are working with distinct extruded contours, it is often easier to work with separate parts in an assembly to make the weldment that you are after.
1. You place the square and horizontal pieces into the assembly first, establish their relationships, and...
Thanks to AnnaWood and Ron Bates for the post about switching to the Vista Theme. It worked for my chronic problem of a stuck model display. This has been a problem (unsolved by the people at my vendor support) ever since I got the new computer with Vista last year.
Here is what it did...
I haven't had time to get to the of the re-installing of the driver yet. Maybe today, but if not everybody have a happy Thanksgiving.
Mindnumb,
Thanks. I usually did it that way, but my my brain got distracted by the new stuff in the Feature Manager and started expanding the tree there instead...
A few more added observations.
The problem (parts being replaced by prism blocks and slow rotation) goes away if I select Shaded Mode display rather than Shaded Mode With Edges. Wireframe display produces the blocks, and HLR shows a few blocks rather than the part. Perspective does not seem to...
We do all of our uotput as pdf here, and use PDF995. It works as a printer driver, so that you get a separate page setup and everthing for it. I also find that it does superior jod of rendering various views compared to the SWX "Save As" method.
It is available by download for no cost. If you...
Scott,
The 2006 is a new install. 2004 is still on the system in a different directory, however.
As I indicated, the drivers are current. (as of last Friday, anyway)
The unusual situation upon rotation is that memory usage (page file size) jumps around while rotating. This would seem to...
I have just upgraded from 2004 to 2006 and find that my largest assembly model rotates very slowly now. Hardware is Athlon 3000+, 1 GB RAM, Quadro 4 700 XGL and software is XP SP2.0, SWX 2006 SP2.0, latest Nvidia 7184 driver from SWX site. I suspect that the model is too large for the 64 MB card...
Does anyone have any experience changing the desktop version of an Asymtek 402 (with needle sense, vision, height sense) to a gantry configuration. I already have to make a custom gantry anyway, so the availability of the 402 that has the right options is attractive. Is it different software...
Ken,
As you can see from the quick crunch of the numbers by tincan, the frame is most stressed by the weight of the 3/16" plate that is laid on it. (60#/ft) This is considerably more than any live load from a 4-wheeler. (am assuming as others have that you mean an ATV) Your problem thus...
