I'm creating a u-bolt sub-assembly. I've got a FW, LW, & Nut all mated to each other & concentric to one leg. It's still free to move coaxially on the leg.
I then mirror the hardware about a plane of symmetry and the new components show up on the other leg. However, they have no mates and can...

Perhaps a dumb question but you're "talking" to somebody who can be incredibly dumb sometimes. Fortunately, this isn't one of 'em. Excel is installed.
It turns out that Areva is right on.
Areva:
Thanks, Eddy. WRT #3, I believe that the "contents" are just...
I'm in the exploratory phase of learning SWX. In playing with BOM's, I've come up with a couple questions that I can't find answers to.
1) On the Insert->Tables menu in my drawing, the Excel-based BOM is grayed out. Any ideas why? The standard BOM seems to perform as expected.
2) The part...
I'm a brand-new SWX user (with prior experience on SE 6 & Inv 6). I was fiddling with the slot feature from the palette and noticed something I've not been able to do myself:
They appear to have dimensioned the slot-length directly from the outside tangents of the two arcs. Whenever I try, it...
Being given responsibility without authority.
Being told we have no money for improvements but always seeing money to fix all the screw-ups.
Band-aid fixes to get the shipment out the door without ever trying to address the root cause of the problems.
No bonuses, no retirement plan, lousy...
In the current job climate, switching industries is very tough because employers are typically looking for an exact fit.
However, if your MSME has some focus on automotive then that should help.
It would also help if you can network and find an internal contact so that your resume actually...
Related to this is "What is the role of Architectural Engineers?"
My university had an Architectural Engineering major, along with Architecture and Strutural Engineering. I always wondered what was the relationship between the three.
Joerd, thank you very much.
I'm not sure if you saw this question somewhere else. This was my only post and I did a search but didn't find the answer.
No matter, though. Your code is precisely what I was trying to accomplish.
Thanks again for sharing your skill with me.
Can someone tell me how to programmatically add cells to a named range?
For example, I'd like to begin at cell C3 and the next 3 sets of cells space 4 rows apart and the corresponding set in column H ending up with a named range containing C3, H3, C7, H7, C11, H11, C15, H15.
I'll ultimately...
See if you can find one of the MS Word user groups. They are frequented by some very knowledgable folks.
As a rule, I wouldn't expect the ENG-TIPS techies to be up on the intracacies of Word.
At the bottom of your screen you'll see a series of buttons (Snap-Grid-Ortho...) The last one will say either "Model" or "Paper". If it says "model" then you are in model space even though you're in a layout. Click the button to toggle between Model Space (MS) &...
The way the I do it is to simply freeze the layer with the hidden lines (usually PH-xxx). If I want to see them in model space but not in paperspace then I go into the viewport and freeze-in-current-viewport.
I am not familiar with the HIDE command.
I'd like to redefine the standard "construction line" button so that my construction lines are automatically created on a layer named "Construction" whose color is red and linetype is phantom. In doing so, I'd like to keep my current layer set to whatever it is when the...
Do you have a 3D solid to work with?
If so, go into a paperspace viewport (open one of the layouts - presuming version = 2xxx then double-click inside the viewport).
Then use the view icons to select which view you'd like.
Then use solprof.
This will create 2D entities of your 3D solid...
If it's really $5,000 for ACAD, you should consider the leap to a parametric modeler.
I find using layouts and paperspace in the 2xxx versions much more efficient than in r14 (sorry, I never used r13) - I'm skeptical of recovering $5k in a year, though. I guess it depends on your burden rate...
Thanks to everybody.
To chicopee and IFRs - Thanks for your responses. Rereading my post I see that I was not clear about the problem I was having. It wasn't the size of the characters but the actual dimension value displayed. Great dissertation on PS/MS, though, chicopee.
TVE - That did the...
I've got a file created by somebody else. I then dropped in a PS layout that I've been using.
When I go to dimension the model from paperspace, the dimension is not scaling to model space - it's just showing the actual paperspace distance. If I do my dimension in model space, then the dimension...
