    That makes way more sense, thanks for the information guys. Follow @mrmitche_ on Twitter!

    Threading Depth

    I am creating drawings from parts imported into Solidworks that lost threaded features. Is there a rule of thumb for how much of the hole to leave unthreaded or how far to tap past the end of the bolt? For example, a 40 mm M8 socket head cap screw is holding two blocks together. The block the...

    Limits and Fits

    If I understand what you are saying correctly, then yes. When I insert a dimension in SolidWorks, then under Tolerance/Precision selection "Fit with tolerance" and choose H7, it puts the tolerance number values beside H7 on the drawing. The +-0.005 was manually input for the position, which is...

    Limits and Fits

    Here is some additional information on the parts if it helps. There are two plates in an mold with an insert passing through one (Plate 1) and into the next (Plate 2). The insert passes through Plate 1 with the sliding fit using the hole tolerance H7 and the insert's shaft tolerance g6. This...

    Limits and Fits

    Drawoh, maybe I described it wrong. I took at look at ASME Y14.5 on the symmetrical tolerances, this is not what I was referring to. I simply meant the tolerance type in SolidWorks was symmetrical (instead of basic, bilateral, etc.). So the hole diameter is dimensioned with H7 and then the hole...

    Okay, thank you. When I asked he made it seem like this was some value I should have known. I'll just make notes of the tolerances the company commonly uses and go with those in the future. Follow @mrmitche_ on Twitter!

    Limits and Fits

    I'm dimensioning a bunch of 2D drawings. Some of the dimensions require tolerances where parts fit together (we are using H7/g6 locational clearance). This part I understand for the most part from reading Machinery's Handbook. But another designer added a symmetrical tolerance to the hole centre...

    Maximum Speed of Ball Screw Actuator

    I looked at the table for the SKR models (which are the same as KR, but use a ball cage). This speed table does not show that the precision grade affects the speed. Is this then because the ball cage affects the damping of the resonances you mentioned? Follow @mrmitche_ on Twitter!

    Maximum Speed of Ball Screw Actuator

    I am verifying some specifications for technical drawings of linear ball screw actuators. One of the specs is maximum speed, which I found the equation to be the lead size (mm) * rotational speed (s-1). How come for larger models the speed becomes affected by the accuracy grade and stroke...

    Change Anchor Point of Directional Lights

    The default anchor point for directional lights is the model origin and the direction around that point. It seems that the light has a fixed distance from the anchor point and it prevents me from illuminating the top of my model. Is there a way to move this anchor point or extend the distance...

    Issue with Rigid Link Appearance

    For a reason unknown to me, only when I am using ADAMS/View in my school's computer labs there is an issue when drawing rigid bodies. Links appear with various diagonal lines, as opposed to just the outline (when in front view). The image below demonstrates what I'm talking about. As far as I...
