Is there an advantage to using a sketch pattern instead of using feature pattern? Just wondering if one way would be preferred over the other.
Example:
If you have a piece of steel plate and you sketch a hexagon to extrude-cut from the material. Then do a feature pattern of the extrude to...
Is the symbol that is used to note microinches in surface finish anywhere in SW? I would like to add the symbol in a plating note on the drawing.
Thanks

This is something I came across the other day and I thought it may be useful info for others.

Problem:
I recently ran ito a situation where I was trying to create a drawing from a Part/Assembly and when the View Palette popped up it was empty. What made it really strange was that...

Well, I guess this subject generated much more interest and heat for that matter than I expected. I do appreciate everyones opinion and I do mean everyone. I will be taking the test again later this year after some more studying on the areas that I was unfamiliar with and see how the next time...

WOW, nothing like getting bent out of shape. Maybe with your extensive SW knowledge you can use the flex and deform tool to straighten yourself out again. I am not sure how you misunderstood my intention here and I do not recall asking you for anything much less your sympathy.
I am...
Pointless? I strongly disagree. How many users out there would need to know things from the whole spectrum of SW functionality to perform thier job duties? How does knowing the default SW hotkeys make me a better designer? Maybe I use my own HKs or none at all. That is absolutely a personal...
I took the CSWP test and I was disappointed in the overall format. I have never used the default SW hotkeys so why would I know what hotkeys do what (multiple choice). Can you use the flex and deform commands on the same part? No idea, never used either one. Never got to the assembly or...
Awesome,
Thanks very much for the input.
rfus - Your suggestions is exactly what I was looking for.
ctopher - Could you please expand on your comment regarding problems if I follow rfus's suggestion when using the part in an assembly. Maybe an example scenario.
Thanks again.

Hello all,
When done modeling a part is it possible to move the part so that the parts center of mass is at the origin? Or is it possible to set up the part from the begining so that the part origin updates as the center of mass changes (as features are added). I guess it depends how you look...
