    3D Dimensioning?

    Hi all, I keep hearing about the new ANSI Y GD&T standards through which we can (fully)dimension the CAD 3D model itself without actually having a drawing for that model [I may be wrong!]. Could someone throw more light on this and tell me in brief how this new GD & T std. is different/an...

    pro/cabling acting funny!

    Hi all, I had posted this Q on Pro/users but didn't get a satisfactory reply- So here it goes. I use Pro/cabling (Pro/E 2001) to show how how wires are routed in a ballast (for visualization only).

The legacy AutoCAD drawing shows the part in 'open' and 'closed' conditions (with diff. set of dimensions for each view- the part looks diff in each of the views). I need to make a new model & drawing for this. Right...

    laptop that run Pro/e and simple FEA- Centrino or Pentium4?

    Hi All, I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this :-). I wanted a recommendation on the laptops that can run fairly big CAD models and relatively simple FEA models. We had zeroed down on a laptop with P4 3GHz/800FSB,512MB Ram laptop. And someone got to read an article about...
