When doing that if the part is using a "revolve" it will ask to select a face or plane or esc to just insert the part. when drawn with an extrude everything works fine.

When Grab the revolve and drag it will attempt to auto-mate to the hole...thats when i get errors. If i grab the part and drag it in I would then have to go and insert the appropriate mates...too time consuming.
What I noticed is anything useing a "revolve" will error. If the feature is an...
Hey guys,
I have a problem when trying to insert a part into an assembly via "smart mates". What I'm doing is try to insert a piece of hardware into a plate. The hardware part uses only 1 feature, revolve, and is built with a design table. What is happening is I "tile" the windows and drag...
Hey Joe,
If you create a "tube" using the "revolved boss/base" (only revolving 359.5°)then create a sketch with your "miter". Use the "insert bends" command. Now it will unfold.
Is this what your looking for?
Ken
Got it...What I did was delete all the inner surfaces then used the "thicken" command. at that point I could then insert bends and unfold.
Thanks everyone.
Ken
I think it is coming in as surfaces. I do run the diagnostics with no avail. The only option there was to remove the surface (then I could "see inside" of the flanges)
I'll try playing with the surface tools and see what happens.
Thanks,
Ken
Hey Guys...
Lets say I have a part that was imported .stp, igs what ever. The part imports with errors. If I go in and try to extrude off the offending flange(s)I receive an error that it does not intersect with the model, even though it is shown in a preview that it is cutting thru. I'm...
Hi guys...
I did some searching on the subject but no luck. What I have is an IGES file that imports as a wireframe 3d sketch. Is there a way to create a solid of this? The part is a plate with tons of features on it, holes, c'bores, c'sinks and pockets, so I'm trying not to redraw it from...
Hey Guys,
Have you noticed differnt flat patterns from auto unfold vs. manual.
What I have is a panel (16 ga) with 1/2 radius flanges 2.00" tall all around. If I unfold it auto it will only give a square corner notch. If I do it manually, where you select the bends, it will return...
Hey Guys,
To get into the download section after you have entered your S.N.. Hit enter and a screen with a bunch of complied jibberish will show. Go to the address bar and remove the "s" from the https:, the hit enter it will redirect and you can get in.
...at least for me.
Ken
If you select "view only" when opening the drawing everything will appear even if the part and assembly files are missing. We have customers that will only send the .slddrw files...not knowing any better.
Ken
Thanks jk...
I was replying before I saw your post. What I did was just browse from windows explorer and highlight the files, right click and select print, it then procedes to print all drawings.
Thanks again,
Ken
Hi guys,
Is there a way to print multiple .sldrw's with actually going in and opening each and every drawing? and without creating a custom script.
Thanks,
Ken
Hi Guys,
If you get drawing files from you customer without the model just select "view only" and then you won't be prompted for file locations and the drawing will display complete.
Ken
Hi Guys,
I had done this in the past, I used a "sketched bend" drawn corner to corner set the angle to maybe 10 dgrees. Then readjust your existing side bends to 80 degrees.
The actual application I did was a 3 sided pan that had 2 sketched bends that initiated in the corners and went to the...
