    Creating A Database And Using The Data For Project Quotes

    QualityEngr; I tried the exercise mentioned above, and I notice that if my heading is called "CATEGORY" for example jam nut, for every jam nut that is inserted under this heading, that's how many jam nuts will appear in my combo-box. "Too cumbersome" I would like to have a split window with a...

    Creating A Database And Using The Data For Project Quotes

    The idea that I had in mind was to open a template file, select a component from a list and the balance of the information would automatically be filled in other fields. I understand that this can get rather lengthy and complicated. Selecting a component from a drop down menu would be nice. The...

    Sensing An Extremely Long Distance With Precision

    Thanks for the tip, if the cost is right, the link that IRstuff referred me to will work very well. If someone has a similar application, you might want to look at this device. http://www.plslaser.com/prodspecfs_pls1.htm

    Sensing An Extremely Long Distance With Precision

    Answers to the questions above; (1) The units are to be ±.10" (approx. 1/8") (2) The target will be as big as the sensor will need it. (3) Budget will depend on the customer ($4000 too expensive!) (4) Distances? Min.=4 FT, Max.=15-16 FT.

    Changing The Deformation Scale Ratio With COSMOSXpress

    What I meant about changing the "Deformation Scale Ratio" was the display scale (view on the screen), not the actual model scale. This has nothing to do with material used, forces in the right direction, etc. This is clearly a visual setting.

    Sensing An Extremely Long Distance With Precision

    Anyone could recommend an economical way to sense a steel plate at a distance of 16 feet with precision to 2 decimal places? I've found Ultrasonic Sensors that can sense the distance, not the precision but costs a fortune. Any response will be greatly appreciated!
