Here's the issue. I have a part that has multiple length pem hardware based on a 6-32 stud. As a result, the actual hole punched out in the part is the same diameter regardless of the length.
On my dimensioned drawings I like to use hole table to show what pem hardware is what. If I select...
I have recently upgraded my workstation, and thus are able to use a PCIe graphics card. I have two to choose from. I first started off with a Nvidia Quadro NVS 280, and it actually performed decent. This only qualm with that card is its lack of realview support. So I decided to try an ATI...
I am having some trouble using the feature driven component pattern. I have used it in the past with no problems, but now it is really screwing up. I have a sheet metal part with about 20 holes, all the same size, and made with the hole wizard. I insert 1 pem nut into the part. I then use...
I am having a problem correctly creating electrical connectors. All the ones that came with SW automatically start a rount once you drag it into your assembly, subsequently making the connector part of the cable assembly (which is what I want). However, the new parts that I have created with all...

I am having some trouble with smart fasteners (SW 2004.sp2.1). I have to sets of holes on either side of a cover. I select the face of one side and select insert SF's. Everything is good. It puts one screw for each hole and assumes the screw goes all the way through to the other side. I...
I have read the posts regarding using Pro/Desktop to convert the files to IGES. However, that program is no longer available free to download. Has anyone confirmed the integration of the decrypter for SW2004SP2.1 or found a good way to do it. I downloaded the PS exchange software but they...
I have client that is currently using SW2003. We are doing all our modeling in SW2004. I need a way to send them the part file and allow them to open it up. Is the save-as parasolid my only option. I think if I do that, then I lose all my feature definitions. There has got to be a way, like...
