I've always thought that any kind of program that tracks my time "working" on a particular drawing, or model would be disastrous to my career...
I often have 30 different models or drawings open at any given time...
I may even have something on my screen, but I could be out on the shop floor...
We often have one or two pages of isometric views with balloons and the cutlist.
Then the following pages are the dimensioned welded assembly.
Then followed by individual weldment parts any holes, or machining that needs done.

No I didn't Scott... I searched the forums, but evidently my search terms didn't hit the right note. LOL
I'm striking out wherever I look.

Customer wants us to import our 3D model into a .dgn file for them to put into their layout.
Is this possible without purchasing any expensive software?
I've Googled myself dizzy and can't find a definitive answer.

We have fully pneumatically powered turntables that have safety flaps than stop motion if they contact a person or item.
Right now, they are a hinged steel flap, that is spring-loaded, and when compressed, it closes a pneumatic valve, which in turn shuts off the pneumatic motors.
Admittedly...
IRStuff,
Yes. I read and commented in that one, but was curious as to what responses it would get here. I think Pats Pub is a very small audience.

I only live 1-1/2 miles from work, so bike to work frequently.
In fact, after riding to work all summer, I ended up riding with my 1st grader to her school, locking her bike up there, then riding in to work.
I eat reasonable lunches (PB&J is my usual)
I get home and can't stand flopping down on...
I'm not an automotive engineer, but am a car guy... I think it's hideous, and impractical. Those flat panels won't resist dents and dings at all. May also cause reflective glare to other vehicles. Is there and type of crumple zones? Front headroom is probably good. What about rear?
Range is one...
I would look into what is going to be involved in trimming and welding a bunch of angle iron together.
You do not want your production guys having to notch a bunch of chunks out of the angle iron in order to weld them together.
Is this for work, or a class assignment?

Would love to see some pics of your drawings when you're done.
Sounds like you are a serious newbie thrown in head first.

Our normal suppliers don't sell them, and I've Googled myself to death with no success.
I have a roller conveyor cart that is fork truck loaded, and pushed off onto a conveyor by hand.
We normally would use 3-1/2" .300 wall rollers for this applications, but they aren't meeting ergo...
Tom,
That is excellent info.
I wonder how often they'll release a new version that won't migrate old releases in properly.
I think Solidworks got lazy on this one.
Many are just getting comfortable with Workgroup PDM and are using it successfully for revision control. Now we're going to lose all...
I rarely use the standard isometric views. I use the dynamic rotate view and rotate the view until what I'm wanting to show, shows best.

It is much more workable now...
Assembly model tree still looks pretty blue-gray unless you have some parts expanded.

Most of us here have learned to do our jobs either thru schooling, or from years of experience. We can give tips, but none of us are going to do your job for you.
I suggest spending some time in the Solidworks surfacing tutorials.

That's a task not for the beginner. Surfacing is your friend here.

Looks like a scan of a very crude stamping welded to a shaft.
Does the model need to be exactly like it? or just be a functional replacement?
Doesn't look like it would be hard to model with traditional features, versus surfacing.
Some sweeps, extrudes, a hole, and a mirror feature, and you're...
Disruption in the space-time continuum?
We just passed "Back to the Future Day"...
Maybe there were some minor timeline events happening leading up to it?
