Where can download an S-N Curve for 4130? Thanks,

I've been using MathCAD for years. All of a sudden it ignores manual page breaks. If anyone has this problem I would appreciate advice. Thank You.

I have been using ComosWorks for machine design for several years. I just recently started using it to analyze small structures with beam elements. I am wondering if RISA-3D is better suited (easier to use) for structures. Does anyone have experience with both programs? How do they compare?

Borgunit, I guess we need to assume I'm a total idiot. Do you know good books that I can use to get a background so I can ask intelligent questions and understand simple answers? I'm using AutoCAD 2007 Bible by Ellen Finkelstein. Other than the script file I mentioned, her examples of...

I've written a lot in Basic in the 80's, and a fair amount in early VB. I have a book and access to VB 6. I haven't used VBA with AutoCAD. Let's give it a shot and if I get lost I'll find someone to help me with the VB part of it. Thanks, Larry

Hi There, I have several hundred drawings (paths and file names)listed in an Excel spreadsheet. I need a program to open each dwg, determine if specific layers and text styles are in that drawing, and if so, if they are being used. Then I need the results added to columns in the Excel...

I use Versa-Check to print accounting checks on a blank form. For some reason, every time I open SolidWorks, an Install window opens, and begins to install Versa-Check, even though Versa-Check is already installed and runs properly. I've un-installed and re-installed both SolidWorks and...

Kenat, The paintiff is a privately owned company worth hundreds of millions. Thanks for your offer. I didn't expect to get anywhere near this many valuable comments. The title block used attributes entered upon insertion, but no links or relationships to other files. Thanks, Larry

Cbrn, It's way past the menance stage. I heard that legal expenses are well over $1 million so far, and we are months from a final trial date. Unfortunately hardly any of that goes to me. LOL. Larry

DrawOH, You're right. You would think the plaintiff's engineer would have thought about having to defend his claims under oath as you suggest. Evidently some people, even intelligent people, make claims like this causually and without thinking ahead. On the other hand, I've seen cases where...

This is out of my field, but could you use an LVDT or resistance type linear measuring instrument with a fairly high sampling rate? Larry

SylvestreW, That's a good idea, but now none of us can use it. Maybe a licensing fee? LOL Larry

Ataloss, See my reply to Kenat above. The title block isn't the real issue. The defendant came up with a better design for the actual tool and the plaintiff doesn't want the competition. If I could disclose all of the morbid details the situation would make more sense. Thanks, Larry

Sbozy25, Sorry if I got you upset, although it's sometimes hard not to be. My report is due shortly, but this thing will go on for months. If you are interested, I'll let you know how it ends. Thanks, Larry

Kenat, I wouldn't worry. The real issue is that the defendant (little guy) has a better design than the plaintiff (big guy) and the title block issue is just a means to make him spend money defending himself and hopefully put him out of business. Larry

Mike, You are right. In this case, when the issue came up the title blocks were immediately replaced. (It was a contract draftsman, not the defendant who modified the title block.) The plaintiff is claiming it took him thousands of man-hours to develop the title block, and that his title block...

Thanks for your continuing comments. If you think about it, every title block is an adaptation of someone else's, whether it is a Standard (ANSI, ISO, etc.) or another company. The guy's previous employer didn't start his design from scratch either.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your opinions and your quick repsonse. I'm acting as an expert witness. I'm not personally involved. I agree the guy shouldn't have used his previous employer's file. It is a fairly standard title block with no visible references to the previous employer...

If this is an improper posting, please let me know. I'm new to this site, and I do not want to violate your policies. I am a mechanical engineer and I represent a designer who copied and modified his previous employer's AutoCAD title block to use at his new company. I would like to get...
