    When I used CTL-Mate to mate parts

    When I used CTL-Mate to mate parts in an assembly before SW2021, I used to just get a thin mate selection bar that came up. Now, I get an unrelated multi-function box- Breadcrumb? that appears above the mate selection bar. About half of the time I mate this way, I just get this multi-function...

    Ambient Light Will Not Delete

    "Not per se. I am the engineering department, so what I say goes" Don't I wish! I always have to fight with model displays that someone else set up. It can be frustrating.

    Model Shadow Mirror Image

    All of a sudden, my models show a shadow mirror or identical image right behind the actual model. I must have hit something inadvertently to trigger this, and have tried to get rid of it. Can someone tell me how to get rid of it?

    Inclusion of MIL-SPEC Rev. Letter in a Callout

    A drawing for a part that is to be anodized calls out a MIL-SPEC for the anodizing. The note that calls out the MIL-SPEC included the rev letter after the spec, MIL-A-8625E.

    Integrate ECR with Data Card for EPDM

    Thermocouple Identification

    The spec was from an axial thermistor at that operating temp and resistance value. The plastic (?) part was one that I pulled out of a similar unit. It is actually a lot more dense than plastic, maybe a ceramic? It has the appearance of plastic. So in a nutshell, I want to capture as much of the...

    Thermocouple Identification

    I would like to source a thermocouple with the following rating, or as close as possible, in a strip type configuration. Could anyone identify this style of thermocouple? It is a plastic rectangle, 8.67mm X 25.45mm X 1mm thickness. It has two solder pads. This would be used in temp feedback in a...

    New job and lack of mentorship.

    That is a great opportunity to command the ship. Youre not stuck with someone holding you back with old ideas. Take advantage of the responsibility by letting yourself shape the company and position that you have.

    Jog dimension

    At first glance it looks messy. Can you turn the view horizontal( with note- rotated view X°) and neaten up the dimensioning? Put the smaller dims closer to the part.
