Don't have '07, but I'm assuming the measure tool isn't smart enough to do it.
A workaround would be to create a flat "shim" part of x thickness.
Insert the shim tangent to surface A.
Insert another copy of the shim tangent to surface B and parallel to the first shim.
Measure shim to shim and...
Thanks for the quick response.
I can't do a), because I don't have access to the vehicle until next year (rental).
I guess it's time to start working the phones at the tire manufacturer.
Thanks again.

Hello,
I need some help finding a reference-able source for tire stiffness / spring rate data.
We are evaluating the affect of seismic loading on a multi-wheeled transporter. (e.g. Goldhofer SPMT) The transporter has multiple 215 / 75 R17.5 tires mounted to vertically mounted hydraulic...
Thanks to all who responded. I agree that QAFitz' comment regarding ANI and cutomer concurrance, and "in writing" are good advice. Therein lies the hiccup.
We actually have a difference of opinion with our customer. (First time ever! Honest![peace])
Some specifics:
We are providing a welded...
Hello all.
I am seeking discussion on the ASME definition of what a "tubular product" is, and applicable examination requirements.
Let's say a certificate holder buys a forged rod, then bores a hole down the center of the rod. Is this a tube? Do the material inspection requirements for...
kroth,
Some of this thread sounds like a conversation between me and "the AutoCAD guy" who sits next to me - but you have the right attitude: Try it before you write it off!
With that said, a couple of things that seem to have helped some of our recent "converts" are:
One thing SW does well...
I'm running SW2004 SP2.1, and trying to get a certain section view of an assembly.
My problem is that when I start the section view command, the orientation of the cutting plane is not quite right. If I rotate the plane around, it moves away from the center of my part. My part is oriented to...
It looks like Lock View did the trick.
But, I still had problems selecting the center point after one line was constrained to it. After a little experimenting, I discovered a neat feature.
I moved both my horizontal centerline and my vertical sketch line (for the section line) away from the...
Sorry for the delay, I have had, in no particular order, a French class, internet fiber line cut, and a Doctor's appointment. [sadeyes]
Tick -
1. Cannot constrain a sketched line.
2. Cannot constrain a section line.
A different (better?) description of the situation: I am unable to constrain...
I should have been more specific. I was talking about the end view.
The side view I can constrain directly to the temporary axis, then hide the temporary axes.
Hey gang.
I'm running 2004 , SP2.1.
I am generating a drawing of a cylindrical part. I have not previously had much luck selecting the the end of the temporary axis to accurately position the centerlines. So my workaround to place my centerlines is to insert a point onto the temporary axis...
Hey guys, I tried the benchmark as well. I didn't have the stunning success like aromech did, but I did notice the following file was installed along with the benchmark:
C:\Program Files\SolidWorks 2003 Benchmark\SWXbenchmark Help.htm
From that file:
The following is a list of options set by...

Shortcut keys
The menus in older versions of Windows had an underline beneath certain letters. Keyboard-savvy users simply pressed Alt and the underlined letter to activate that menu item. No more taking the hands off the keyboard to find...
Anybody have a suggestion for creating nondestructive examination symbols?
I've attempted to KISS and just put the NDE requirements in a note and reference the note in the tail of my weld symbol, but there's a little bit of a religious war going on here. It seems AutoCAD (or some add-on...
