    Measure tool - use with caution

    In the new 2013 SP 0, Measure tool (tape ruler icon) has an option to measure point to point, minimum between circles and project on plane. I have just discovered, that if the perpendicular from cylinder center does not overlap the face you want to measure to, it gives the distance to nearest...

    Need help modelling a basic wing with chord-wise (streamwise) riblets

    CorBlimeyLimey is right; If your wing narrows in toward the end, you will have to set up planes one through the wing perpendicular to the flow, and a lot (one for each groove) parallel to flow. Make a sketch from the interfering model and flow-parallel planes, make a sketch of the groove on the...

    Two part properties in one BOM cell

    Why not make two BOM templates, one for your native language, one for german. Insert the required BOM (You have a choice option on inserting BOM). Alas- you will anyway have to decide, if resulting drawing should have german or other language. The german BOM could be a copy of the first, where...

    Solidworks Angle from vertical

    Actually You request a measure to something which is not there. As VERTICAL is not defined by any line, It´s impossible to measure. If you want it invisible, either do the line and after the dim i set, right-click it and hide it; or insert a plane in the model and give the edge an angle to this...

    Inventor to SW, what version works now?

    Hello Helpful Forum! I've just got a new job. They have used Inventor for some years now, but it appears I'm more or less the only one to do mech. drawings here. As I'm used to SW, how far is readability from Inventor to SW progressed? I have so far only found this question and answers in files...

    3d Mouse in Inventor 2010

    3Dconnexion runs when you install the driver, maybe the Nav3D is the same? Eventually try update driver etc. Morten K. Thillemann

    raster to vector

    for scanning, as the sheet size are sometimes quite large, maybe a digital camera with a relative high resolution - a full size Nikon or Canon with a good quality fixed length lens can do a lot. It might also be a much faster way than using a traditional scanner. You would need a setup as used...

    Tapping 304 ss Thin Walled Holes.

    http://www.flowdrill.com/ Just adding a link to help finding tools. It is possible to roll a tread after flowdrill, I've had some parts made this way in AISI304L, 1mm thick, M3 tread. The screws goes in fine, but I shall not be able to say about the low-pressure tightness as our need was just...

    Part name/flat pattern question

    Heckler: It could be the manufacturer, who would like to have a dxf as their manufacturing setup is tuned in for this. If they recieve designs from a lot of different people, it would shure be nice to have it all in a form where you don't have to think different every time. You wouldn't change...

    Disapperaing sketches

    I have occationally the same in SW2000; when in solid mode. The sketch reappears visual when you switch to one of the wireframe modes. Morten K. Thillemann

    Exporting illustrations for text-docs

    Ok, i'll request it from SW-Corp. The reason why I would like to keep wmf is that the documents are not written by me, that is the people there are used to the wmf format and every change does take time to ajust to something you like or can accept. (I'm just upgrading from SW2000 to SW2005, and...

    Exporting illustrations for text-docs

    I haven't tried inserting a pdf in a text document, actually, i'm not sure it does without problems. I have used pdf for mailing drawings of new parts to our suppliers. If you insert a pdf in a doc, would it be like inserting a bmp or TIFF as a graphics-area? Again if I convert to dxf, the nice...

    Exporting illustrations for text-docs

    The sales department often wishes to have a draft in the proposals. We normally did this using Windows Meta File (*.wmf), as this gives a vectorized output which can be scaled in a Word og StarOffice text document and still keep a nice sharp line quality. If I export using TIFF, the lines are...

    Ray Trace Request

    If you just want raytracing, try the OSLO LT download: http://www.sinopt.com/ Might be easier for optics. This is for designing lenses and mirrors. I tried (manually) in SW-sketch, but this will only give a direction, not the intensity of a ray of light. The Oslo programme allows to show the...

    Unscaling Drawings for output to .dxf

    I add a sheet with no template, just inserting the part in 1:1 and then when sheet is open exporting this sheet for dxf. The dimension lines etc. are not used in CAM, so you save yourself from removing these and text, and thus minimizing the risc of error. Morten K. Thillemann

    Machining Titanium

    I am not sure about the coated drill. Although my only practical experience in machining titanium comes from milling, we found that the coated mills, like TCN or TiAl would wear (probaby abrasive wear from being the same metal) down much faster than the non-coated HSS or carbide types.

    Programming gears in C++

    Take a look here, there might be a useful idea in some of his downloadable parts. Sorry for my french only goes for tourism and carparts and not particularly well for computerlanguage. http://perso.club-internet.fr/bberry/swcaddb/ He anyway knows how to do gears and springs! s-) Morten...

    I have a Pentium III 850Mhz with 76

    check the swapfile size and place. I have a swapfile primary on drive C at 2Mb, then a secondary at drive D at 800 to 1200 Mb. My machine runs NT, and had simmilar problems with slow movement, long thoughts before showing extrudes etc. Changing swapfile size helped. The C drive was then too...

    Using existing drawing for another part

    How about just making more sheets "add sheet" and then give the header another title? you can hide features like edges in the dwg sheet, so if the cause is to have identical parts with only difference from each other is a hole or a chamfer, these features are drawn to the part, but...
