    Possible to convert 2D sketch to 3D model?

    Layout mode is just that, for part layout not sketching. Normally you create your 3D model in model mode then open layout mode to dimension your part. Layout mode will automatically create views of the part created in Model mode. Sketches made in Layout cannot be viewed in model mode, at...

    Possible to convert 2D sketch to 3D model?

    Your question is confusing. Not sure what you mean by “sketch toggle”. Do you mean Layout mode or wireframe? There is a 3D wireframe to solid converter under tools but it has limitations. If your 2D drawing is just that, a flat view of 3 or more sides of the part then a solid model could be...

    Converting splines to lines and arc's

    There is a Tools CDE “add in” for that that has been around for a long time but I’m not 100% sure if was in CK19, it's been too long.

    Constrain an object to another

    Are you using Cadkey or KeyCreator? Cadkey wasn’t able to do assemblies. Cadkey, now KeyCreator is a direct modeler, no need for constraints. This forum is dead, have you tried posting on the Kubotek webforum? Lots of users there. You don’t need to be current on maintenance to post, just a...

    Selectable Text PDF export KeyCreator/Cadkey

    I’m pretty sure KeyCreator can’t do this but there is plenty of PDF to Text converters out there, some that are free.

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

    One thing should be pointed out is that 3.625 is not the circumference of a 1.1625 dia. circle, it's 3.652. May be a typo.

    Hole inside a plate. How to mill?

    I would suggest looking at a casting if the quantities and tolerances allow for it. If only a couple of parts then an die sink EDM is the only logical solution as presently designed.

    Access Violation

    Even though it may not be related it may help to know your computer specs. When KC 10.0 was first released there was some reports of “access violation” errors. They seemed to be related to imported settings, such as toolbars, from earlier versions, and video card settings. Try using the...

    kadkey19 on 64bit machine

    I just updated to a Win7 64 bit machine and haven’t loaded CK19 yet but have read on the Cadkey forum that it will run fine. You may have to run it in XP compatible mode on some hardware. Some of the CDE programs, like Dynamouse may not work but it sounds like you won’t need that for legacy...

    no loop through new edges and vertices error

    Without looking at the surface it’s hard to say why you’re getting the message. My guess is that the shape of the offset surface is distorting the edges enough to cause incomplete edges or gaps. If you offset a smaller amount does it work? Look at it this way. If you have a concave surface...

    2old2, Did you get this resolved? http://www.cnczone.com/forums/members/moldcore.html

    Any CK99 users in the Flagstaff, AZ Area?

    I think the fonts go in the English folder. Did you take note of where they came from? Your .prt & ptn files can go into their respective folders. After re-installing, did Cadkey work other than the font you wanted and your custom keyboard and fonts. They don’t have the ability on this forum...

    Any CK99 users in the Flagstaff, AZ Area?

    Just move the those .kbd & .tbr files into Cadkey’s root directory. Or you may have to point Cadkey to these files in the Tools>options>setup menu.

    Opened Cadkey 99 and found a white screen and functions not working?

    I can’t remember if there was an R2. I was about this time the Cadkey introduced the license that tied your software to a piece of hardware, such as hard drive or network card. That pissed off a lot of users that used one copy on multiple machines. I noticed that I have the manuals for CK99...

    Opened Cadkey 99 and found a white screen and functions not working?

    Just create a new folder for your files that you want to save. Move the files you want to save there and then uninstall CK99 before re-installing. Is your version of CK99 one that requires a license? If you have a legitimate license you should be able to register it with Kubotek and log into...

    Evaluating 3D CAD software - Which one???

    I’m surprised (or should I not be) that no one ever mentions KeyCreator (the new Cadkey) when considering 3D CAD. It’s always been 3D and around since the 80’s. It’s evolved into a great program today, even available in a 64 bit version. It’s a direct modeler with no constraints (history) and...

    IGES file created for Espirit from CadKey

    We use Parasolid xt to import into Surfcam here. Just tried an IGES using all the default export options and it worked fine. Problem in Esprit maybe?

    IGES file created for Espirit from CadKey

    What version of Cadkey/KeyCreator are you using? The older versions of Cadkey had a strange export routine that will take some explaining. With KeyCreator all you have to do is select File>Export>IGES>select the entities, then give it a name and a location to save.
