    Bearing Selection from Toolbox

    "There's your solution." Yeah, I was just hoping I wasn't going to have to do it myself. Too optimistic a thought perhaps. "Ugh. Double ugh. Do the people that make these decisions ever wonder what they will say when these bearings fail and they're defending themselves from the personal injury...

    Bearing Selection from Toolbox

    In most cases I do go to the manufacturer for correct models & yes, I am aware that S6205RS is a genuine bearing number. (You don't know what standard that would be part of do you? Haven't found that information either.) These bearings however are definitely purchased from an unspecified...

    DXF Import as a part

    As long as you import as new part you should be able to do that with a tickbox on the second page of the import dialogue box, without the need for a macro, but it does rely on layers actually having been used instead of just different colours. Is that not working for you?

    Bearing Selection from Toolbox

    Does anyone know if there is a way to be able to choose bearings by OD, Bore & Thickness instead of by what the toolbox refers to as Size? I'm currently creating models & manufacturing drawings of pre-existing products so the dimensions are the information I have. The bearing I needed today was...

    BOM Item Numbers & Ballooning

    Ok, for future reference, I didn't spot this before (perhaps due to the thread title, perhaps because it was 2011), but here is an answer to this problem. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=296318 av8errr, 11 Apr 11 10:18

    BOM Item Numbers & Ballooning

    Hmm. How about getting the balloons to display the cell override values rather than the original entries? This seems like the real flaw to me.

    BOM Item Numbers & Ballooning

    I need to use letters as item numbers. I have no choice in the matter. Is this possible without using overrides? If not, can I link my balloons to the override value that is actually displayed in the BOM? Currently it will only show me the original numerical value. I am not going to be happy...

    How to stop the dwf being created for the preview

    Wow, can't quite believe we managed to miss that, thank you. Presumably we were looking for something more complicated. Both of those things were (but no longer) very much the case & is the crux for the question. More like the 10% of someone else's problems, but sure, why not. I was...

    Accidental Level of Detail Added....

    Not one course that I have been on (specifically relating to use of software) has been worth spending money. Intuition & Google can solve 90% of all problems, presuming you know the actual words to google, and what is this forum for if not the last 10%? Maybe if my previous company had had full...

    How to stop the dwf being created for the preview

    One of the guys I work with has been trying to check a file into Vault from inventor that seems to be stalling on the dwf for the preview & not getting further than that. He want to turn off the feature so that the dwf isn't created. Is this a thing that is possible? Google has given him no...

    Accidental Level of Detail Added....

    Don't be ridiculous. Terminology is predominantly the problem here, not an inability to CAD, which means that it is quicker to ask than google.

    Accidental Level of Detail Added....

    Ok, I now have a secondary problem. My drawing is referencing the level of detail I wasnt to delete, how do I change that?
  13. MysteriousDrX

    Accidental Level of Detail Added....

    Right, it's not that it wasn't visible, so much as that I didn't previously know that that was what inventor called it, so I had to turn it off to find out what it was. I was brought up with Catia, so I would call that the tree (just FYI for anyone else who doesn't know inventor terminology)...

    Accidental Level of Detail Added....

    What5 do you mean by "model browser" ?

    Accidental Level of Detail Added....

    So I've managed to accidentally add a Level of Detail to one of my assemblies. Not only do I not need it, but it is also exactly the same as the full assy. How the hell do I get rid of it?

    Not Crossing Dimensions

    Damn, I was hoping this was just something I'd missed. Nevermind, they can just deal with the Dims crossing each other. Cheers anyway.

    Not Crossing Dimensions

    To be honest, I've over simplified, they are not all 12, some are 24 and sadly, I am being asked to dimension them individually whilst at the same time being complained to that the dimensions overlap. Unfortunately I cannot give you any more information than I have. I don't think it would help...

    Not Crossing Dimensions

    I have a few rectangular shaped components in a Polar Array (corners touching) Thant I need to dimension. Unfortunately there are other components outside of the circle, so I'm going to have to dimension them inside, causing the dimensions to cross each other. Obviously this is bad form & I'd...

    Erroneously Snapping to Lines that don't exist (AutoCAD 2015)

    I rarely consider the location of the origin in AutoCAD & I've never had that problem before, but that does sound like a potential solution. I'll move everything closer & see what happens. Cheers.

    Erroneously Snapping to Lines that don't exist (AutoCAD 2015)

    Ok, this is only a couple of components, but it is still snapping to intersections that don't exist, so I think it'll do. Two blocks, pick points should be in the same place, but I left them where they wanted to snap, that way even if it doesn't work on your computer, you can still see where it...
