Thanks. Ironically, I was just trying to do that very same thing when I received the email notification. You've shortened the learning curve for me, donyoung. Thanks.
Thanks, donyoung, that was what I was looking for. Now, along the same lines, is there a way that those annotations will follow the model into the draft? Also, I know PMI will be out in V19, but can I display those annotations in a "viewer" enviroment - like SE Viewer or eDrawings?
Thanks.
I think I may have lost my mind... how do I add text notes to sketches? I'm using sketching to capture some physical info and drive a sheet metal component... but I can't figure out how to add notes to the model space in a sketch. Thanks,
I have two 19" Samsung 920 LCDs side by side right now with a PNY FX1300 video card. I breifly looked at widescreen format LCDs, but was a little skittish because of support issues, etc that show up in the random internet forums. I would like to add one more moniter, but I'm trying to manage...
Right now, with MBD, we're still in the planning phase. We're looking at two options right now...
Option one is to include the assembly file as a eDrawing .easm file, which can be annotated, etc. This would be the product definiton for the entire assembly - which is usually an inseperable...
KENAT; You're an SE user, so you're kind of stuck with some not-so-hot 3D viewers. Depending on the complexity of what your designing for manufacture and if you're using GD&T on these parts - you might want to take a look at eDrawings. We're just starting the process of asking our venders to...
Well, let's take some time to educate ourselves about GD&T... we can all break out our copies of Y14.5 and break it down one step at a time. Some sort of hive-learning. We'd need to find ourselves some sort of leader - Lord Of The Flies-style. Anyone else think this is a good idea?
When we looked at 3D viewers, the measurement tools where one of the key functions that we assessed. I agree with you, josephv, that Adobe's measurement functions where poorly implemented. I will honestly say that I was very excited when I first looked at Adobe, but that has sense worn off...
I think we need to determine the "what-fors" and "whys", before we make decisions on software like Adobe 3D.
For example, we are looking ways to communicate design intent, product definition, etc - using the solid model and a viewer instead of investing in drawings which can't "answer...
Has anyone tried JT2Go? I'm currently comparing the simple collaberation tools available and would like some input on JT2Go. I have spent a bit of time tinkering with it and am less than impressed - especially when compared to eDrawings.
Good reference, Mr Young.
With SE being a history-based modeler, if you use this "bullet-proof" technique - it seems as if, with a bit of work, you're reaping the benefits of both historical and non-historical modeling. When you start using the variable table to control the model - it seems...
A few years ago, a gentleman gave a presentation at SE Summit about "Bullet-Proof Modeling". The concept is to eleminate the vertical "parent/child" model tree and make every feature, etc independant. This uses a plane and an associated sketch to drive every feature. Also some custom...
Several years ago I was hired on as Project Manager at a mid-size manufacturing house. I was tasked with targeting the deep pockets of Law Enforcement and the military. During this time, I recommended the purchase of a 3D MCAD - as we were still using Autocad. I looked around, chatted some...
That's a good tool that I've never used until you recommended it. I'm still holding on hope for a "trim" tool that will trim the 2D entities when they are brought in to SE.
Toffeet; I want to take a moment to thank you for your help in recent weeks, it seems that you're always lending advice...
