    Rust prevention on metal tooling.

    Part Routing through Machine shop Layout

    I have been working in ACAD 14 for a few years, but still don't utilize ACAD as well as I would like. I have a project that I have been working on for quite a while and I was wondering if someone would help me. I am not even sure that this is possible, but I think that it is. I have a 2D...

    Line changes when viewing in Paper space

    I have tried linetype scale - no difference. And when I load in an old drawing (I chose one that has a lot of different line types) again all the lines look continuous. And I already tried zooming in (and out) - guess what?!?!? No difference. I have been playing around with the custom title...

    Line changes when viewing in Paper space

    I am working in R14 and in my years working with AutoCAD I have never seen this. I have a center line (or for that matter anything BUT a solid line) in model space. When I switch over to paper space, the line changes from a center line to a solid one. This is happening on all the drawings...

    Printing/plotting configuration problem

    We've had this same problem over and over again. Instead of changing pen colors and widths - go through the following steps. Side note... Now I have a bonus pack attached to my R14. What that means is that you may find PREFERENCES under the TOOLS menu or OPTIONS menu. 1. Go to...

    No display after commands.

    Are you talking about your dialog boxes? If you are, there is a simple fix... If you are not getting a dialog box when you want to plot type in "CMDDIA" at the command line. If the value is set to 0 (zero) re-set it to 1 (by typing in 1 at the promt)and the dialog box should return...

    Work Measurement Training

    I'm looking for work measurement/time study training. I'm not looking for training on specific computer programs (which seem abundant), but rather a general course to explain and demonstrate time study principles and techniques. I have found (and contacted) "Industrial Timestudy...

    Stop Watch Boards-digital

    C-four (www.c-four.com) and Business Pro (www.asco.com) are what I'm researching right now. I haven't finished doing my research on those companies, and I'm still looking into other companies. Both run on Palm type computers and from the research I've done thus far, it looks much better than...
