I'm haveing very erratic results mirroring parts in assemblies, and am hoping others have some tips.
Example, I have been drawing a computer workstation that is a countertop set on top of 2 nearly identical 19" rack mount cabinets. I built one side, then mirrored many of the components to the...
Just a note so others don't have the same problem I ran into yesterday.
After getting far into a complex cabinet assy I found that the 19" rack mount section was the wrong size.
Traced it down to some reference lines. Turns out that all CONSTRUCTION GEOMETRY is in centerline format (not...
Probably a silly question, but:
When editing a part in-context of an assembly the features you add don't get added to the base part. Generally this is a good thing. But, sometimes I want the new features as part of the base part.
Is there a way to easily add these features to the base part...
I draw a lot of electrical boxes/connector panels.
Example: A 9 pin connector requires a round .813" hole with 4 holes in a .97" sq pattern centered on the circle. These 4 holes need to either be .159" if tapped 10-32, or .201" if clearance (depends how the connector is attatched).
? Is...
Howdy,
I just got a new video card, so I can finally go back to using 2 monitors. Something I had for years on a Mac.
Some questions for anyone out there using 2 monitors:
1) I put my toolbars on the 2nd monitor so I could make my drawing area bigger. This works well, except SW doesn't...
Is there a way to make a specific part/s transparent in a detail drawing while all other parts still display hidden lines removed?
What I'm doing is doing 3D overall parts layout views of some electronics cabinets. I'd like to make it so you can see through the cabinet (as if it were...
Yesterday I was attempting to bend an existing part. The arm on one of the roller limit switches we use had to be bent. It was bent down 90 degrees, the bent back up 90, into a Z shape to avoid an obstacle.
The only tool in SW I could find to try to do this was the flex command, but instead of...
