You're assuming correctly ajack1, I'm rotating the part to better form a corner, and following, after being flatened, piercing. I've thought also of making some tests in a probe, but also, de deviation values are meaningless for the part. I was just wondering if there was a formula to calculate it.

I'm using this, as ajack1 mentioned, for a progressive tool, I need to rotate the part, and then rotate it again for it's initial position. At the moment I'm considering this will not alter, but I know that it will (very little), so if I could just know how much, it was easy to compensate. I...

Hi, If for example, a steel plate of 1.5mm is bent 30 degrees with an internal radius of 2mm, when we flatten it again, it's lenght will increase, how much? How to calculate this? Thanks, Rjl

Normally I copy both: FrameConfig.CATSettings FrameGeneral.CATSettings this way I can get costumized shortcut keys, and icons in the right places.

So, if I understood, for each drawing I should fill the title block manualy? What I'd like to make is, getting part parameters from the 3D to fill the title block. And these parameters should be user created, like for example: material, dimensions... And I'd like to make this for a lot of...

Discovered why error message was showing, I should use "Text template placement" icon and not the "catalog" icon. Anyway, anyone knows a way to fill titleblock with part parameters without VB? I mean making a kind of template, to use in a lot of drawings. Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to build a titleblock for all of my drawings without using VB. I tried to use "Insert Link Template" from the contextual menu in drafting (checked the online help), save it in catalog, but then, when I try to instanciate it from the catalog, it gives me the following...

Thanks you all for the information !! Now I just need to find the equivalent standards for the steel, here in Europe (I'm in Portugal).

Thanks Metman for your technical answer. Tom: In this case the tool design is complete, just need the material. I'm located in Portugal, if we buy the material, would you send us the right spec. for surface treatment/ heat treatment? Rjl

Hello, I've designed a tool holder and a tool for a cutting process in a CNC lathe (using tip insert on the tool). My problem is to select the best material for the tool holder, and for the tool. Can anyone give an idea of what type of material should I be looking at? I need to avoid...

The type of toolbar I want to create, has some sub-toolbars in it. I know how to create a normal toolbar, but I want one similar to the VIEW toolbar, where you have, for example, the "top view", "iso view", etc., inside a sub-toolbar. (I would send an image, but can't figure how to send it...

Hello, Anyone knows how to make a personal toolbar with a compact toolbar? For example, in the VIEW toolbar, we have two sub-toolbars, the VIEW MODE and the QUICK VIEW. I would like to make a personal toolbar with the commands I want, and, also with one sub-toobar (similar to the structure of...

I know in CATIA it gives circular link issue, but I can assure you that in Solidworks, no problem. You can link them, change values and everything is linked.
