    Nvidia Quadro NVS420 any good for ST4?

    Good news: I'm able to get a new work computer (workstation) to properly drive 64bit ST4. Bad news: Our contractor IT guy specified the machine w/o allowing engineering input. It came in today and has two(!) Nvidia Quadro NVS420 cards in it. (The combination could drive up to 8 video...

    Co-radial sketch features?

    Wondering how other folks handle this in SE (ST4), when you have multiple circular arc segments that all have the same radius, sharing the same center point? SolidWorks has a "co-radial" constraint, which is pretty nice. In SE, I create a radial construction line from the circular arc center...

    Hole Table for non-circular features?

    I have a sheet metal part that has rectangular slots across the part at different angles. I'd like to note the "center" (centroid) of these slots. I can do it by using a lot of construction lines, circles, etc. I've initially added centerlines to the slots using the Center Line Command...

    ST4 Home License installation failure

    Here's a note I've sent to my VAR on the same subject. Any input here would be appreciated... I have tried a few of times to install SE ST4 on a 32bit Windows XP Professional system (on a home license). I've secured and placed the SE License.dat file on the system. The error message I've...

    Connect in sketches?

    Reviewed this: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=208631, and its associated FAQ prior to posting. Okay, have two lines crossing at an arbitrary angle on a coincident base plane. There was a connection between the two lines at their vertex to start. I then apply a radius to those...

    Round command - deselect?

    Okay, still working my way through ST3 with a new design. I have a part with several rounds applied. One is on an edge I'd like to deselect. Well, the intuitive way (to me) would be to click on the edge to take it out of the selection set, same way as it was added. After some futile clicking...

    External rendering application for ST3?

    Coming from SolidWorks, with a PhotoWorks license, I had the ability to first use PhotoWorks (not too much fun, but fine in the long run), then PhotoView 360. The latter is a trimmed down version (a lot) of Luxology's "modo 501" application. The modo 501 applicatin is fairly rich feature-wise...

    ST3 CAM relationship query from newbie

    I'm in the process of learning ST3 after 10+yrs on SW. So far, so good. Some things I miss, but mainly struggling to find the darn buttons on the ribbon. Clearly sheet metal is very good in ST3... On to my question: See the attached file. I'm trying to get a bushing to track in a slot. I...
