Here is #3,8:
3.Plan the work; then work the plan.
......
8.Use an engineering team. That way not one person can be
blamed for mistakes.
TheTick,
thanx for the input... I'll add it to my list if you don't mind. I gave you star for this one. [smarty]

Outside Solid Works:
1.Work on the 'KISS' principle: Keep It Simple Stupid.
2.Don't assume the shop knows your design intent.
3.------------------
4.Build it as if you were going to buy it.
5.When creating a design, always create a parallel path backup, in case your original falls through.
6.If...
I'm dealing with PCBs quite often. I always ask our PCB design group for IGES data.
I'm using AutoCAD as interface/first step to clean up the files from unnecessary data and then open it in SW, generating model with the features I need for the design.
I found this is the most practical way so...
I'm using Visual Safe Source (VSS) - part of MS Visual Studio to back up all my data. Simple, easy to use and this enables me to keep track of any changes/revs. Simply update database and put your comments. Beauty of this is cmplete part history at any time and ability to roll back to very first...
Gents,
I just learned the another way around:
1-Start new assembly.
2-Insert the part you want the origin to be moved and constrain geometry to the assembly origin as you want it to be in the part.
3 - Save as PART - done...
The new part's origin will be as you constrained it in the auxilary...
Hi,
Is there a way to move a Part in relation to the origin (part evironment), other then constrain base feature?
Let's say if I have a part imported ("dumb"solid body) and I want to change the origin without going thru features recognition?
Thank you
Not the library, but capable CAD system - this is what you are looking for. Since your company already purchased AutoCAD add-in (fittings library), SW can easily take it too. No sweat.
www.3dcontentcentral.com is a good site too as mentioned above.
Cheers
Scanning, rastering - vectorizing - would be a long way to go. Even though there is a helpful tool in SW to do it (see TheTick's post above).
Build 3D model usind blueprints as a reference, generate 2D prints and save them in either format - this is shortcut and the only way to store an accurate...
