This isn't meant to be UK-centric but here goes.....
I just wanted to get a feel for what my fellow Engineers thought about the present credit-crisis and the affect it has had on your own jobs and job prospects.
Do you feel that the job market has been squeezed?
Or is there any difference...
All,
A relation of mine has recently had an interview (by telephone) for a position with a large US medical multinational. She told me that the telephone interview was conducted using the Gallup Interview process, which I have never heard of.
So curiousity has got the better of me and I was...
Apologies to all the US guys, but this is a question for UK engineers...
Because of Mr. Brown's last budjet changes, I am no longer able to work under an umbrella company. I have to set up my own limited company, and to continue trading, I consequently need to get insurance (porfessional...
What I think is a very interesting situation is happening in the Eng. Dept. where I am presently working (as a contractor, I am getting what feels like an outsider's view as it develops)
The team (excluding myself and other contractors) has just had their quarterly 'state-of-the-nation' meeting...
On another site and came across this little bit from cadwire

Initially.
I had a little smirk, followed by a sort of a self-satisfied glow.....followed by....
Damn....I'm 38 this year.
Followed by the last three hours of depression.....
Finally....

Today seems to be another one of those days where things are bugging me far too easily.... If someone can solve this one it is going to save me a lot of donkey work.....
The company I am working for at the moment have a lot of legacy parts that were created before they adopted 'start parts'...
Hopefully this is a simple one, but is there a congig option (or drawing.dtl) that would allow dimensions that are Show/Erase in origin to be a different colour from manually added dims in drawing mode?

Reading a thread today, I was reminded of one of my worst interviews that I ever had....
I was contacted by an agent who said he had a position he thought I might be interested in. He forwarded my CV to th eclient who got back the next day to arrange an interview for the following Monday...
So here is my problem....
The company I contract for use ProE (WF1, WF3 to come in the next month). Well actually all but one engineer, who just happens to use Inventor (not sure which release). Unfortunately he happens to be the one who models the engines (big engines) and so far all he has...
All,
I have a drawing question (from my team leader) that I am not sure which direction to take. Any help/advice will be appreciated.
I have a top level drawing of the machine that this company makes. My leader wants to put the CoG of the machine on the assembly drawing (and dimension it, for...
All,
I have previously used a bespoke bit of PTC software that was developed with CATERPILLAR to do hydraulic hose routings. The package (Fluid Lines) is based loosely on Pro/Pipe. One very nice bit of the package was a command called 'Teleport' which allowed me to move components from one...
All,
I have been landed with a sheet metal part that is merged from another sheet metal part (I will kill whoever used merge). My problem is that when I create the flat state of the merged part, there are a series of holes that I want to remove using a family table from the final flat pattern...
Just something I saw on the web today

85% slower for ProE, but just take a look at UGS.
Yet again it looks like Microsoft has failed to impress the world.

Just a flippant topic that I'd like to put in here (I know that this has been discussed before, but now that WF3 is on the market, I just wonder has it released a whole new set of demons)...
So here goes....
If PTC rang you in the morning (assuming that it is not too early) and asked you what...
All,
A quick question that I have been asked (and don't know the answer to).....
What controls whether an individual station on a networked system can see a preview of a drawing?
I think it is whether a drawing has been saved on that station, but would like confirmation.
If the above is...
