    How do you align the dimensions in SE Draft?

    What if I wanted to make the dimensions spaced equally, like a half inch between each one as they are stacked?

    How do you align the dimensions in SE Draft?

    thank you, it works but it lines up the text and not the lines. This is a problem for dimensions that have an offset leader, but it is ok. again thanks.

    thanks, that worked.

    How do you align the dimensions in SE Draft?

    I would like to use a feature like Pro/e snap lines to make all my dims line up on the drawing. Is this a possible feature or do I just have to eyeball it?

    Need to make a subassembly with current parts

    Is there a way to make an assembly and "drag" the contents from the top level assembly to the sub and keep the constraints? I have an assembly with everything constrained and now I need to take a few of the pieces "15 or so" and move them into there own assembly. I know how to do this by...

    Converting an Assembly to "dumb" solid

    CorBlimeyLimey what is the difference in file size of saving as "all components" or surfaces if you have a lot of internal surfaces like you were saying. James

    Converting an Assembly to "dumb" solid

    I have a complex assembly with many surface models and subassemblies with up to 5000 part copy geometry making up a single part. I have to make the entire assembly a single part document. I have tried stp, igs, parasolid, etc. and they all fail. Is there anyway to make a dumb solid out of an...

    Converting an Assembly to "dumb" solid

    I actually mean both. I just remember the old days when you brought in an iges file and it was just one dumb file with no features. I really just need to make a space claim feature of the whole assembly. I have tried the boolean but it doesn't seem to want to work. I think this part is a...

    Converting an Assembly to "dumb" solid

    I have a complex assembly with many surface models and subassemblies with up to 5000 part copy geometry making up a single part. For most of the simple stuff I can individually select them and insert them as a part copy. But I am not allowed to do this with this current job. I have to make...
