Handleman or anyone else,
How do you get 2 axis systems to list in Mate Selection box? When I hold control key and pick the 2 axis sys on screen they highlight red, but then when I get into Mate command only 1 axis name is listed. My problem is I can never get 2 to list as you did in your...
In Assembly - I have 2 identical parts that are randomly sitting in space. Each part has it's own coord. axis system on it. I need to get these 2 parts to match up (overlay) to each other exactly by matching the 2 axis systems together, leg by leg (x on x, y on y, and z on z). Nothing tried...
In SW PART (not assembly and not drawing).
I am trying to find out if there is a way to see, all at once, all of your hidden elements (line, curve, surfs) that go hidden as you go along doing your design.
I am coming from CATIA where you can easily toggle between work area and hidden area...
Hi I am new to SW coming from Catia v5. I am trying to find out if SW has layers or levels in the 3D space area of the program. I can only find info about detail drawings etc. which is of no use to me.
SW is the only CAD program I have seen in 30 years that seems to not have layers in 3D design...
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a way to rotate your view on the screen, using spaceball (rotate command icon or 2 mouse button method), about a LINE, instead of a focal point. For example, if you had the face of a clock you can set center point as focal point and then move...
When I use the Translate command to translate surfaces, using the axis to axis option, the color of the surfaces all change to one color, that being the default light yellow color. For example, 3 surfaces each having a different color (red, green, blue) and after translation, they all change...
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out something in the Freestyle Workbench.
As an example, I have a surface in the shape of an egg. I want to be able to draw a random shaped spline on the entire surface of the egg. I'm selecting the "curve on surface" command to do this.
My problem is that you are not...
Hi,
I took a test recently that I could not get thru. A part of it involved filleting the 3 edges that would be at one corner of a cube. The radii for the edges = 5, 18, and 20.
You could only use the "SHAPE FILLET" command and the "TRIM SUPPORT" options within the command had to be unchecked...
Can someone please help me with angle measuring problems. In Catia V4, using the analysis command, I was able to have 3 parallel lines to each other in space, pick one line, a second line (as the axis line), then the third line to be given the angle measurement between the 2 lines (line 1 & 3)...
I'm trying to find a way to create a title block sheet once (which I know how to do) and then be able to load it up to use again on a whole new and different drawing (not another sheet, but a whole new project and the drawing for it). I'm not looking to Insert > object either. I need to be able...
In GSD workbench, I'm trying to do a fill surface of a rectangle made up of slightly wavy splines. Problem is that I have minor gaps because I cannot coincide the end points in sketcher or in 3d space (option not available in constrait definition dialog box). Is there a trick to this or command...
