    Section through part

    Hmm, I see what you're saying. Sounds like work. Too bad I wouldn't be able to selectively section, like showing turbine blades within a cut housing. Thanks for the idea. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can...

    Section through part

    Hello, I've seen many parts in the past sectioned like the one uploaded, but I can't seem to get Section View to do that. When it takes out both planes I'm left with a quarter of the part, not 3/4 like I simulated. What am I not doing right? Thanks! Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc...

    Flat pattern of contiguous surfaces

    Hello, I'm trying to create a label that will wrap around a drafted plastic part, uploaded, and realized it's not just the perimeters of the ends and straight lines connecting them. Is there a way to obtain the flat pattern that would result from unfolding the outer faces? Thanks! Mechanical...

    Hosed eDrawings dimensions

    You've got a point there. I checked the tested drivers and they don't list any of the GeForce ones from NVIDIA. That would probably be the issue. Thanks for opening that up on your end. I will try the version of eDrawings I have at work which uses a different graphics card and see what...

    Hosed eDrawings dimensions

    They open up just fine in SW, no weird dims or text. And I just opened up one of my own that I had made a while back, see upload, and it gets messed up too. My concern is would others get the same when I send them an slddrw to open on their eDrawings viewer?? Thanks. Mechanical Engineer...

    Hosed eDrawings dimensions

    No, just the ones I get from them. I can work around it, just annoying. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pausch

    Hosed eDrawings dimensions

    It was saved as an slddrw and I opened it up with eDrawings like usual. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pausch

    Rotating view using Mac mouse

    Hello, I just finished installing SW2011 SP3 on my iMac at home and running it through Parallels 6 so I can work away from the office. I can't seem to get the Mighty Mouse to rotate parts or assemblies when I click and drag as I can on my Windows PC at work. The ball works great for zooming...

    Hosed eDrawings dimensions

    Hello, I received an eDrawing recently from a design house and when I opened it all the dimensions had this weird 'overline' on them, see uploaded tiff. Any idea what's causing that? I'm running 2011 SP4. Thanks! Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect...

    What's a P.F. counterbore??

    Hello, I received the attached view from an outside source and can't figure out what they want with a P.F. counterbore. I know I'll kick myself when I get an answer. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks!! Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect...

    Downward arrow mate icon

    Wow, that's a new one on me. Can someone give me an example of a non-grounding mate? How is that different from a fully defined mate? I don't get it :( Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited...

    Downward arrow mate icon

    Hello, I've searched the help hi and low for this one but no luck. I received some assembly files that have an additional mate icon next to some of the mates. It appears as a downward-pointing arrow touching a flat green surface. It shows up next to some of the coincident as well as...

    Default lights scheme

    Hello, I was wondering what the default lights are for SW. If I pull up a new part document and look at the lights manager does it show me the default configuration? Like where the directional lights are and their properties. Is there a default button whereby I can get all the lights back to...

    Updating models that use forming tools

    Hello, I'm wondering if there is a way to have sheet metal parts that have forming tools applied update when the forming tool is modified. I don't see a way to click on something to make that happen so I've had to delete and reinsert the revised tool. Am I going about this the wrong way...
