    Objects on Monitor STILL Distorted - CADKEY 99

    So what does happen when you set your display size equal to your 11.625 x 22.75 actual size? Can you determine why your "usable" diagonal measurement isn't closer to the full 27" capability? Are your running your graphic card resolution at the recommended values for the monitor? Do any other...

    Can't remember how to calculate an ARC LENGTH in C/K99

    Data, Verify, Perimeter will also give the length as long as the actual arc is separate from the rest of the circle.

    129.611/360 x 3.625 = ARC LENGTH Verify, Distance, 2 Points is the easiest method for the distance measurement.

    Does KeyCreator trash files

    Moldcore, Thanks for the feedback. I have the demo version of KeyCreator 6.5. I am most interested in testing the assembly functionality but I can't find a way to do so since this crippled version won't allow saving of any files. I admit to minimal time with the demo and I am assuming that the...

    Does KeyCreator trash files

    My current workplace is stuck in the dark ages of Cadkey 99. I recently had a 20MB file in which about 80% of the objects went into that otherworld state where they wouldn't render or allow themselves to be copy/pasted into other files. Healing didn't work since they were no longer solids...

    Adding smooth font in Cadkey 99

    Kyle, Find the file named sfnt1.fnt in the Cadkey99/English folder and rename it to whatever you want for archival purposes since you may want to restore the original functionality. Then find the smooth.fnt file in this folder and rename it to be sfnt1.fnt. You might want to make a copy of the...

    keyway vs spline

    QD and other taper lock bushings will still use a key. Providing a minimal radius at the corners of the keyway will help. This would require a clearance chamfer or radius on the key as well. Here is an alternative to keys or shrink fits...

    Newbie to Drafting

    I agree with Ajack1. Why convince someone with such simple needs to go 3D. They are looking for minimal cost and obviously a 2D only package will suffice. While my personal preference is Solidworks without question, why don't you give the FREE SolidEdge Layout software a try. Here is the link...

    Mitsubishi Melsec F protocol

    I have a Melsec F1 programming manual, circa '87, but it doesn't say a thing about PLC/PC communication of any kind. My experience was of the "standalone" variety at the time. I do recall some talk of PC programmability but we didn't have the capability. Come to think about it, I didn't get my...
