    drawing/document sign-off and release

    I hope you meant to say that you are *planning* to transition your company to electronic signature for approval etc. In any event, ISO standards require that you indicate the original author of the document on all releases of the document, and that you indicate the initial release of the...

    Experiences on SolidWorks and SAP R/3 configurator

    I think that your post is certainly applicable to this fourm... although not exposed to quite the same level of activity as the SolidWorks forum. I notice that nobody answered in the SolidWorks forum, so I thought I'd respond here since this is where I found your post. Are you offering to...

    Human Force to Turn a Bolt

    I believe that there are two factors that you need to consider: 1. Pain threashold -- the area of the wrech at the applied force will effect the tolerable pressure experienced by the operator. 2. The proper use of a wrench involves torque, which implies a force couple -- both hands should be...

    Examples of "good" engineering program management?

    Mathew & Dave, I think that Program Management and Portfolio Management are lofty goals of many large organizations... lofty because to properly manage multiple projects, and their interdependant input and outputs, a plan or tracking mechanism must exist. The input and output milestones must...

    Determine the Control Limits

    Yutaini, It seems to me that you need to design your experiment before you start charting results. Certainly you have more that two variables to measure -- time and temperature. How do you measure success or failure? Whatever these factors are, they need to be represented in your chart...

    AutoCAD 2000 with MS Word???

    Another way to capture any image from any application (even 3D rendered images) is to use the <Print Screen> button to capture the image on your monitor -- it places it on the clipboard. Use the <ALT><Print Screen> to capture just the active window. Once on the clipboard, just paste into Word...

    Who's job anyway?

    The primary responsibility of Configuration Management lies with the owners of the Design Control. I believe this to be true regardless of the industry. Depending on the industry, there may be others that play a smaller roll in Configuration Management. For instance, an Engineer-to-Order...

    Who's job anyway?

    Configuration Management is also a software category. For manufacturers that can mix and match components, a rules-based configurator can be programmed to allow a Sales Engineer, or even a customer, to configure a desired product through a web-site or software application. The BOM of a custom...

    Need help getting organized!!

    CODE-BLUE, You describe a common problem that plagues many engineering departments. As cadkid and sc indicated, some try to make sence of all their drawings by utilizing the hierarchial structures of the OS's folders. Sometimes this is not enough though. There are electronic/engineering...

    AutoCAD 12 - Locked User

    tigerbob, AutoCAD R12 uses the ACAD.PWD file to track user licenses/passwords. If you can no longer get into AutoCAD, try deleting the ACAD.PDL file. The ACAD.PWL file is a zero length file that gets created that indicates that the ACAD.PWD file is in use. If this doesn't fix the problem, you...
