    K factors for Hydraulic Manifold Block

    Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions or know of published data on K factors for a machined hydraulic manifold block. What I am most interested in is a typical 90 degree bend (eg R/d = 0) created from boring into the block from different sides of block. Also, does standard 'equivalent...

    Camera View Quality

    I have defined a camera view which has really poor performance in that the resulting image looks like the image quality when rotating a large assembly. ie, cylinders have become rectangular blocks. Smaller components are blobs. Large assembly mode is turned off and all other perfomance/image...

    Hi all, We have a component that has been sent to us in .iges from a supplier. Bringing it into SW is no problem but a few of the surfaces don't match (quite a complex piece). Anyway SW can't heal them so there is a constant warninng "!" in the part. Is there any way to tell SW to ignore it...
