Bob, I can't help you, but I can tell you that I have run into the same problem a while ago. It shouldn't happen, so after reading you're thread and some of the answers that some supplied, I thought I'd give it another try: What do you think: now it works! After exploding I can still select all...

dear all, this problem is not a problem anymore. Our customer has exaggerated the requirements for the material a little. After doing a little testing ourselves we have found that temperatures will not exceed 160deg C, and the product doesn't have to meet any strength requirements at this...

Well OK, but my main goal is to find a sealing material with certain properties (hardness app. 50-70 shore A, maximum service temperature 200 deg Celcius etc, etc)which also is accepted by the automotive industrie to be used in the factories. The problem in using silicone materials is that the...

Scott, you've made my day: [sunshine] Mike J Wilson has made exactly what I wanted. thanks, Aart

OK, thanks guys for the examples, but I'm affraid this is not want I want. I don't want the text to "distort", when projected on the cilindrical surface. I think I wasn't clear in describing the problem. Imagine text in the orientation that you have used (Scott and Jack) with the...

I also have a question about text: Is it in anyway possible to extrude text on a cilindrical face, in the way that the text-"plane" is the surface of the cilinder. The text has to be perpendicular to the axis. Imagine text on the cup of coffee you drink in the morning: just like that ...

you're right, so if you want the dimensions, you don't open a new sketch and if you don't want the dimensions you open a new sketch before pasting, Thanks, this is vital information for optimizing my method of working, Aart

I know that it's possible to copy a sketch. Too bad that only the sketch elements and some relations, but not the dimensions aren't copied. The way to copy? Just select the sketch you want to copy in the feature manager,then press <ctrl><c>. After this select a plane or a face you want the...

dear dompie (are you dutch by any chance?), it's very simple to use an equotation: first you dimension the angles between the planes you want to use in the equotation. Decide which one you want to be the driving dimension and which one you want to be driven. In the assembly, you select in the...

Thank you for the compliment Tatej, I am very interested in the assembly you've build, please send it to me: a.schmid@elton.nl thank you very much, Aart

I think I will have to add some extra comments to my thread: The way to relate the rotation-speeds that I suggested is very static. You can define extra static situations for example by creating a design-table, or by creating configurations yourself. To make a smooth movement between these...

hello dompie, what I would try: make a relation between the rotation speeds in this way: Create angular dimensions in the assembly between a plane in the assembly and a plane in the part(Do this for both parts, one clockwise, the other counterclockwise). When you have done this, you can relate...

Rokahn, I think you do it right. The '-' sign in the feature manager means that you can collapse the part. When you click on the '-',it will change to a '+' sign. Try it. So when this is it, you don't have a problem at all. When you exit the edit-part-environment, check the in-context mate...

I have also been trying to find an easy way to achieve this. My perception of the problem was like Charley sees it too. I have checked out both solutions on the site of Scott and I also have a solution which may (or may not) be useful. I tried to find an alternative solution for holes on a...

When you start a new part, you will always need a base feature. If you come to a point that you want to change the way the part file is defined, you will have to reconsider all kinds of features. When you collapse all features in the feature manager tree, you can start by editing your base...

Well Chumley, first of all: thank you for replying. I will try to explain the application of the product: We make a sealing device for fire and smoke-prevention doors. These doors are used in all kinds of environments. One of the environments in which it will be used is in the automotive...

a good question and also interesting answers. I would like to have a solid fill pattern, does somebody know what the definition of such a fill would be, so I can add it to the <C:\ProgramFiles\SolidWorks\lang\english\sldwks.ptn> file ? Aart Schmid

Thank you SnowCrash, the file formats are indeed comprehendable text files. This a good sign. I will ask someone to figure out a way to convert the data for me, again: thanks a lot, Aart

hello, my name is aart schmid and i am working on a door sealing device. our customer produces doors and he also sells to the automotive industry. he states that silicone is unacceptable as a material because the automotive industry doesn't accept this material in the production environment...

thank you for trying to help me, but it doesn't work. Although T-CAM has an option to read IGES files, this function isn't operational in our version of T-CAM. So it's of no use to try all kinds of options in saving IGES files. By the way: what is VAR?? thanks anyway, Aart
