Hello everybody, I am trying to prepare some Autocad drawings to be sent to the customer. The person who has received the files sent for the first time called me and told me the drawings are not complete or there are errors generated by not found xrefs... Can anybody explain me which is the...

Hello everybody, I'm looking for a simple "FEA" software which should only handle the following: it has a simple drawing interface (something like a sketcher) where I can draw the profile of a bar (or beam) - but just the neutral fiber, just lines and arcs - to be able to represent linear bars...

ok, and...?

Hello, when I generate a trace from a point through the kinematic with the option "create new part" for this trace, it is not positioned correctly - so with the first point in the original point, but somewhere in space! This is not very nice, with Catia 4 it was very simple to obtain the trace...

Unfortunatelly I cannot post the file... (I'm not allowed to...). But I was able to open other step files from different suppliers without problems! And, like I said, I see some elements listed in the structure-tree (feature manager), but nothing in the 3D area. I've used zoom all, but no...

Hello everybody, I have the following problem: I have received a step file from a supplier; this .stp file should contain a big assembly. When I open it in SolidWorks, I see the structure in the structure-tree (left side) but no 3D geometry at all!!! I've tried to reframe many times, I checked...

Hello, I have a parallel installation of WIndows XP Pro 32bit on my Toshiba Satellite A215 with AMD Turion 64x2 processor. The first operating system is Windows XP Pro 64bit... and with it everything works perfect, but under XP 32bit the mouse coursor freezes each 4 seconds for about 0,5...

Hello, how can I copy a sketch from a part to another one? It would be perfect if I could also preserve the constraints... Thanks in advance!

Hello, which is the best way to position PartBodies within a multibody CATPart using constraints (dimensions, etc.) and not using the compass? Are there some recomandations or best practices? For example, if I receive AllCATPart files and I am trying to move some components in other...

Thank you all, specially ShaggyPE - it is exactly what I mean. Now it is clear for me why I am able to create sketches in assy context. ShaggyPE, I gave you a star for that! Thanks again! Donnis

Thanks everybody for answers. I'm starting to get used with 3d sketching and the results are very good! A further question would be what is the use of a sketch made directly in assembly (without creating a new part or editing an existing one)? I'm confused because normally it should only be...

Hello everybody, can somebody give me some advices on how to make pipes in an assembly (industrial installation)? I think I have to use "design in context" because the pipes are linking different equipments and the paths are not very simple. I'm working with SW Office 2006 - so the routing...

Hello everybody, why I cannot see in the type list all types of profiles when I use "Structural member"? For example, if I use "Structural steel" from Toolbox I can choose in ISO/SC Beam between SC100, SC120... but in "Structural member", I select Standard = Iso but under Type is only "angle...

@ IRstuff: Smartsketch is indeed parametric and it has interface with Mathcad, but I cannot represent vectors or force in it... @ PatBethea: WorkingModel has somehow force vector representation (but not so easy to customize and analyse in a professional way) but no parametric... Thank you for...

I know it, CorBlimeyLimey, but is not what I'm looking for... Thanks anyway...

Hello everybody, I'm looking for a software which has a 2d parametric sketcher where I can define a layout of a mechanism, put myself the forces (actions, reactions, friction) and do analysis with them. I must be able to represent the forces as lines with arrows, torques as arcs with arrows...

Thank you all for your answers. The problem was that I simply forgot to close the positioning sketch in that part (didn't "go out" from the sketch). As soon as I closed the sketch, everything came back to normal. Thanks again.

I've already tried it - no success. But thank you for your reply.

Hello, I cannot make, in assembly, a mate (relation, in my case concentricity) between a positioning sketch and a circular edge of a solid... It worked until yesterday, but now, if I activate the "mate" function, I can only select the edge of the 3d solid but not the circle from my positioning...

Hello everybody, is it possible in SW 2007 to right-click on a component in 3D to highlight it in the structure tree? I have a big assembly with a lot of sub-assemblies and components... and I'm trying to find a screw in the structure tree by selecting it first in space (highlight the part)...
