I recently updated to Autodesk Inventor 2014 from 2012 and I am unable to get my template for my IDW to work as it did in the previous version. I had my dimension style set to three decimal places, the default in my installation is two places. I can change this in the style library each time I...
I have a WPS that has been qualified to section IX. The PQR specimen was welded in the 1G position and P1 material was used. All requirements of QW-452, QW-160, & QW-194 were met. Due to a conflict of interests I need to pose the question "What is the max fillet weld size allowed per this WPS in...
I have a test plate welded in the 1G position, it is a 1" A36 test plate with a 45 degree bevel and 1/4" backing. I am performing two side bends, does the backing need to be removed? My test sample is prepared in accordance to Figure 4.13 and the test jig was built in conformance to Figure 4.15.
I have the ASME BPVC section 9 as well as the section 2 A & C printed editions but have no addenda after 2009. Is this code a 3 year renewal, meaning I need to purchase the code again at this point to be compliant with code provisions?
I have a machinist who is running a Renishaw probing system on our horizontal milling machines. We are fairly new to this and need to know how to connect a printer to the machine and output the results of an inspection. We do have the printer connected thru a RS232 cable. We have the probe...
I'm using inventor 2012 and Gibbs 2010 and the inventor has an add in allowing me to export directly to Gibbs. When I do this I get the model into Gibbs but I can't do anything in the machining operations with it. I am not very proficient with Gibbs but my guys at the shop are and they can't get...
I got the. Idw template saved to the default location, with help from thus forum, but now when I create a drawing the file name is not updated into the field in the lower right corner. I can get around this but is there an easy fix for it to load the name of the part model into the drawing? And...
I can't find an option for precision settings on dimension in idw files. I can change it in the editor window but I'm looking for a general environment change, so that each time a pull a dimension it is created with precision to the third decimal place. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I need to save a default title block that can be used each time I create a drawing from a part model. I have a title block from another drawing I want to save and alter slightly. How do I carry this out?
When I model a part and create a .dwg file from my .drw file my scale is not correct. I use ACAD and dwg editor primarily as my 2D drafting programs after creating the part and .drw file using pro e. Sometimes my scale is 1:1 like I want and other times it is not. What am I doin wrong and how do...
We have to machine a 5.50-4 acme 2G internal thread and have no gage to check the part. My boss wants me to calculate the dimensional criteria to machine a check gage. Where do I the information needed to do this? We have made gages in the past to get by until a gage could be ordered and...
Where do I find the test plate dimensions for a performance qual test. I have found thickness but not length and width. If I have sufficient enough material for the required mechanical tests is that all I need?
I have a large ductile iron valve(48" waterway) that is in need of weld repair in the main external support rib of the valve. I am planning to use a 7018 rod and preheat to 550-750 F.and am hoping to achieve a PWHT of 850-1000 F for a period of 2-4 hrs. I have some concerns due to my limitations...
I have a welder qualified to weld full penn groove welds in the 1G position. For my range qualified (elec characteristics) to use in production do I reference the +/-15% as stated in QW409.5?
I performed a test using a GMAW process in the 1G position. The matl was SA 516-70 and the plates were beveled at 37.5 each, leaving a .125 land. The root was open .093. I used a solid lincoln wire(ER70S-6). I used Argon(95%)Oxygen(5%)mix for a shielding gas. I failed my vickers hardness survey...
Can I use my PQR for p no.1 group no. 2 steel on any steel in that P no. and Group no. or do I have to qualify each type of steel. It seems to me I should be able to have the one PQR for this type of material but I cant find it in the code book in black and white to ease my worries?
