You can also check out Ion Nitriding or Vacuum nitriding to avoid the surface effects.

Do a file, save as, choose new location, new name, then... click the "reference" box and edit (slow double click) the model path and file name, select ok (that menu will be updated and close), select "save" and you have: A new drawing, a new model in a new location.

Don't get the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 510M as installed on the HP nx9420. It's not compatible and I'm using open GL as a workaround. Sure wish there was a fix.

Yes, that is what happened. Thank you!!

I have a SW2005 sp01.1 file that shows a tolerance in "view only" or preview that changes when the file is opened to edit. How is that possible? I sent the "view only" drawing as a pdf to vendor who caught the mistake. When the drawing is opened for editing it is correct.

Check for gas pulsation and use orifices and or bottles to fix. Bracing of lines in and out will also help with this problem. Bolted on mass tuned to cancel resonance can be successful.

I'm looking for a way to design springs with configs that have "free lgth", "installed", "actuated", etc, as configs. This takes quite a bit of setting up to make it work. Surely there is a template available for say, compression springs, extension springs, etc.

Sorry, my mistake; I meant to say A (I used beta = 2*pi angle of rotation in Mathcad). Can't figure this out yet. Any idea? -Monkeywrench

Referring to sreid's post: "The equation you seek for a single Cardan joint for the input shaft/output shaft speed is Woutput/Winput = cosB/(1-sin^2[B]sin^2[A]) where B = angle between the shafts A = rotational angle of the input shaft" When I plot this, I get a sine wave from +1 to -1 as the...

Scott: WOW - that works! One star for you. I'll use this often since I keep all drawings for the project in one file and occasionally add existing drawings to the file rather than create them there. Thanks for the tip. -Monkeywrench

Thanks for the response; it would not have been a problem if I had known the road was "dead end". -Monkeywrench

I have multiple sheets in the project drawing (castings, details, assemblies, etc). I have an existing detailed drawing that I want to add as "insert sheet". I can insert a view, but not the corresponding sections, details, etc. Is there any way to do this?

Most new functionality encourages upgrades. Backwards compatibility functionality does not do so. A cynical perspective is that SW wants to encourage more upgrades.

To transmit 15hp for 1500 hours, I'm looking at: 16/32 pitch, 24 teeth External spline length = .50 inch 1 7/16 nominal shaft, steel, 6 inch long spline approx in middle of shaft 1 7/16 ductile iron round hub, 2 inch wide Internal spline length = 2 inch Must slide back and forth 1.2 inches...

Thanks for the responses. I looked on my Win2000 C: drive and found a SW Backups folder that was empty. Woops, I thought I wasn't making any backups for some reason, or I had recently cleaned them all out; but that wasn't the case: another folder under Documents and Settings/ myname/ Local...

Thanks, I tried the export to parasolid, then featureworks, but not much success due to threads, etc not recognized. At least I have the solid for the assembly.

One component of a large assembly was converted to SW2004 sp01. I need to get it back to 2003 sp3.1 rather than recreate from scratch. Is there any way to do this?
