    Looking for correct weld symbology

    I have a sheet metal welding requirement that does not seem to fit neatly into any of the standard weld type callouts. Typically, the sheet metal being welded together is 16ga. (.060") thick. I've used the fillet weld symbol in the past as a more-or-less generic weld symbol, but obviously this...

    Short timing belt - fixed motor or adjustable?

    Hello Engineering community, I'm in the process of doing some major modifications to my X-Carve CNC router. I've already converted it to ACME screw drive, and am about to upgrade once again to linear rails. My question is this: When designing for my timing belt that drives the screws, is it...

    Color assignment by object type

    Is it possible to assign a color to an object type? More specifically, I want to assign RED (for example) to SPLINES, and I want it done automatically (globally). The reason for this is simple: when we export sheet metal flat-patterns out of an Inventor drawing, we import it into AutoCAD for...

    Spline-free stencil letters DXF or DWG?

    Hello all, I am looking for a simple block-type font for stencil letters/numbers that will NOT create splines when exploded. Our laser cutter software has issues with splines, so I'm looking for characters made up of simple line & arc type construction. I'm not holding out much hope for a TTF or...

    ASME Y14.5 standard for Reference Dimensions?

    I couldn't find anything in the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard that governs the identification of reference dimensions. True, they are most commonly identified with parenthesis (1.250), but is there anything that controls this by way of actual standard? The real application to my question is in...

    Catia V5 to Teamcenter compliance checklist?

    We have an upcoming project that will require us to create Catia V5r21 files that must be Teamcenter compliant, but we will be using Catia without any sort of Teamcenter plug-in. Our deliverable files must simply be Teamcenter compliant. Is there anyone who has done this before, and may have...

    Hello all, I started a new job (tool design), and am now back on Catia V5. I'm trying to dimension a group of holes on a welded assembly. There are (4) pads with (3) holes each. I want to specify one of the holes in one of the pads as a datum point for coordinate dimensions, and dimension the...

    Dimensioning: Default control of secondary unit decimal places?

    Our customer mandates that we use dual-dimensioning: INCH[METRIC] and constantly jumping between 2 and 3 place dimensions requires a LOT of mouse clicks to update a dimension properly from 2 to 3 or vice-versa. I would LOVE to be able to utilize the EDIT DIMENSION box that pops up when you...

    Is there a way to deeply customize how dimensions are displayed?

    I'm not refering to the components like gap sizes, text and arrow sizes, etc, etc. that are easily available in the menu. I'm refering to how a dimension is displayed. For example, a dual ref. dimension inch[metric] is displayed as follows: (31.55)[(801.5)] Our customer's long-standing standard...
