Hello all,
I was wondering if any of the unfortunates people who have upgraded to SW2006 SP3 have had issues with the pdf creation. I recently upgraded from SP0 to SP3, I noticed that certain drawings when saved as pdf (with section areas hatched) creates the hatch marks all over the page.
As...
I need to make a sheet metal ring thickness ranging between .002" and .007" with OD of 11" and ID of 10.50". I cant seem to find any distributors who has shims with OD greater than 6 or 7".
I am in a time crunch that I cannot contact a precision stamping company. If I buy blank shim sheet and...
I have to place a fillet (curved end of an object), say curve A tangent to another curve, say curve B. One constraint I have is the location of curve A is fixed from the horizontal plane. Curve B is fixed in all respects (x,y,z). So if I want to place curve A tangential to B at a particular...
I am not able to modify the options of extension line lengths, offset of extension line from the feature etc. Solidworks seems to have fixed this. I recently upgraded to 2006, I havent seen these options in any SW though.
Very rarely I have the necessity to use a particular size sheet and...
Hi all, Am looking for some good place to learn sheet metal design. I did not give much notice to this unless I noticed lots of companies demanding experience in sheet metal (not just design engg) I am curious to know what it involves.
Any pointers, websites elaborating designs reqts or your...
I installed a free app dwggateway from the autodesk website. Since then I seem to have lost my dialogbox displays.
Simple commands like opening a file, saving etc goes through the command line. Now as much as I love the command line, it gets annoying to type in/copy the path to the file you...
Hello,
I was building a template and noticed that lines that were made a part of a block turn out to be super thick when they are printed in pdf.
However if I dont make it a block, and keep it in layers, it prints fine. The text doesnt seem to be affected in this process, that is...
Hello,
I recently had a tight toleranced dwg where I had called out a +/- 0.00025 on distance between two holes and the same tolerance on the height of the block.
Now the machines I know (like typical bridgeport and other conventional mills) can do tolerances like +/- 0.0005 or lesser...
Hello,
I am trying to find a way of calculating the shear strength caused by a spring force acting perpendicular to the direction of shear. I am a little out of touch with my basics and just remember that there is a relation ship.
Could anybody out there throw me a pointer or two?
Thanks
Hello,
I am sure there are loads of you people out there who have designed a mechanism with ball bearings. I was wondering where to find the cage which holds the balls from touching each other. I am not sure if the terminology I am looking for is correct. I am basically running searches for...
hello all,
I have a very basic question. I came across (on the web) a spring loaded ball plunger which is typically used on many indexing and tooling applns. I am curious to know if the ball at the end is capable of rotating if a horizontal force is apped (say friction which overcomes the...
