Greetings,
I use break lines periodically in drawings, and I was showing a peer this feature, however, on their machine, once the break lines were placed, I was unable to pick them in order to delete them from the view. I have transferred thier part and draft files to my pc and it works fine...
Greetings,
One of the guys I work with ask me for help in constraining some parts in his assembly. Now these parts were imports from Ideas, so they have there reference planes all over the place. He is wanting to constrain some parts that do not have common geometry to others, however, we can...
I recently had a supplier go under and they were supplying an extruded rigid PVC part. Tooling was transferred to a new supplier and they are unable to produce the part in PVC, but would like to offer it in HIPS. I know that the 2 materials are fairly inter-changeable for some applications...
Greetings,
I am trying to create a circular pattern with sketches, however each time I try I do not get the sketch to pattern around the circle. Basically, I have a disc, with rectangles (3) at 120 degree BC along the outer edge. I am using the sketches for the assembly to use as mate features...
Greetings,
I am looking for some advice on the best process to import data that is in an "iges" format. Many of our customers are using other programs (Pro-E, Catia, etc.) and send CAD data to us for reference. The data is supplied in an iges format, but when imported, we only get surfaces and...
Greetings,
I have been asked by the plant manager who just found out that he must switch from ACAD to SE and has all the plant layout drawings in ACAD. I now that I can open the dwg file and see that line colors and dimensions were maintained, but how do I twick layer controls like turning on...
Greetings,
I have made some sheet metal parts in V17, and have them in the bent format and saved them as flat. My question is how to show the part in both formats on a fabrication drawing that would be reviewed by manufacturing in order to obtain overall sizes?
Greetings wiseones,
I am in need of suggestions on a method to put a cutout that is of uniform depth along a radial surface. Basically, I have a thin walled semi-sphere shape that is 2 mm thick, and I need to put grooves that are 1 mm deep on the out side. The groove need to run from the top...
Greetings, Now that I have modeled the design, created parts and assemblies, I am creating production drawings and need to either create a new titleblock or tweek the SE std one to reflect proprietary disclaimers and company name. I have searched the help menus with no success. Please advise.
Okay, I know it is here somewhere, but I am unable to find the command to keep the link between the part file and the dft file. When I update my part, the drawing keeps the old dimensions and profile. How do I get it to automatically update?
Greetings Wise Ones,
I am curious if it is possible, and how to create a single sketch and then use it to create multiple parts that are designed around the primary sketch? Example, if I draw a box, then offset it. I need to then make 4 separate legs that follow the box profile. I would like...
I have a profile that I want the end to tmper down by 30%. The general shape of the feature is circular. I am trying to add the taper to the end. The feature is basically a thin walled tube with a 15% opening. I have tried the protrude with a draft, which isn't correct, and doesn't work...
Greetings again, there is a command in SW called "Convery Entity" that allows you to basically copy a sketch / item from one feature and use it without recreating it to make a new feature. How do I do this in SE?
I have used SW for 5+ years and am now at a company that is switching from SDRC to SE V17. I have been going though the tutorials, but am having difficulty due to my history with SW's. Can anyone recommend any techniques or cross reference tools that would aid me in this transition?
