Hi,
I have been made mechanical drawings most of my life and I guess I am having a brain sneeze (Thanks Si).
Besides just long hand stating it, how would you draft having a bore interference fit a shaft regardless of the shaft diameter. In this case the shaft varies and we do not want to...
I am designing a device that needs retractable casters. I found an example on-line in the Brunson 230-F but cannot work out how to design this. Has anyone got an idea?
Requirements: Retract/deploy 3 or 4 casters using foot or hand lever. Casters must lift load of approx. 200# approx 1/2" off...
What does "UNO" stand for? This is on a metric drawing and applies to a set of holes. I Can't find this out on web?? I used to know in another life. I think it is a DIN standard? Any help appreciated even direction to correct thread/forum.

I'm doing some charity work that involves putting a wire rope under tension between two block walls.
I can't find anything down and dirty on this subject.
Can someone point me in the correct direction?
Specs.
>12" block walls
>distance between walls is 60'
>load on cable is 350# max. with...
Try this again. Got a good answer before but did not fit question.
I want to use leader text and have whatever I type encircled with a balloon. The old 2d autocad did this with a symbol.
To forestall one wrong solution the autodesk balloon only works with the BOM and so is clunky. Great if...
Need to know what this is called. A customer gave the dimensions and the CAD but has left town and I can't find one to determine the load bearing cap. He said it was in McMaster but still can't find.
In case my pic doesn't post it is a roller 2" od X 2.5 in long on a shaft with holes to mount...
We have a branch that is still in the stone age. We can't send them a .dwg and when we send them an AutoCAD drawing in .dxf they see nothing in place of the tables. Is there a way I can "flatten" (they called it a snapshot in Pro/E) the drawing? This would of course remove all references to the...
When I print my drawings the embedded tables are not printing. This suddenly started w/o any changes to OS or Inventor. I need help!! Oh yea I also need to know how to fix this.

I need to have numerals and/or text circled, similar to a balloon but "without" a leader or any reference. Can anyone tell me how to do this on a drawing?
Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good viewer to use with Vault? We need it to read at a minimum .dwg, .ipt, .idw, .iam, .dwg, .dwf AND if possible .pdf
We will be utilizing 10 seats to start out.
Thanks

The VAR said this wasn't a good idea. I want to try out 11 by installing on same computer as 10 before committing to it (My wife says I'm afraid of commitment)Does anyone have experience in this? I do have another computer that I can put a fresh install on, just not as powerful.
Inventor 11 arrived on my desk 04/10/06 (one month ago). It is still sitting there because I keep waiting for reports of common folk who have been brave enough to install. Has anyone out there got anything to say about release 11, good or bad ? Or if I have missed the post please direct me.
Thx...
I have a model with a obround intersected by a cone. Being as it is Ti, I would like to create a flat pattern for the fabrication shop.
The large end of the cone lays against one of the flats of the obround but also intersects both of the end radius sections. I used the cavity feature and have...
I can retrieve model dimensions but cannot retrieve the pattern dimensions and number of (in this case, holes). Is this a feature Inventor lacks?

Hi,
Just got proficient with SolidWorks and changed jobs and software again!
My Inventor questions are:
1> Is it ok to mate features in assembly, how about work planes or does it matter? I want to build robust models and it took a while to figure this out in SW.
2> Are there any other “best...
I need guidance. Started with SW 2004 and presently we are on 2005 SP 0.1. I’ve been fighting different stability problems since week one. I’m really wondering about SW in general. I have just cleaned SW off hard drive and reinstalled with windows SP2. It seems a little more stable but weirder...
Had Dimension colors modified like I wanted.
Updated 2004 with latest SP and can't get them to change
One answer - Tools\Options\System Options\Colors\Dimensions Imported - Non imported.. <-- won't work
Is there anything else I can check before I blame the SP?
I'm having crashes that terminate my session instantily, 1/2 the time with a message that states SW has to terminate due to an unexpected handling error. The only major difference over stable assemblies, that I can think of, is that I have imported step files in these assemblies.
My question...
I've got to make a "Movie" today to send to a client. I've got an acceptable finished movie but would like to do two things. #1 Decrease the jerkiness and #2 have the "movie" pause longer at key points. The following are my parameters/settings.
I'm using a "Large" assembly as my subject and...
>Thanks Scott Baugh for advising posting this as new thread and referencing old thread<. I found an old thread559-74771 "solidworks plays musical parts behind my back" that best addresses the number one issue I have with SW. The ending was left hanging and still lacks a promising answer. Many of...
