UPDATE FOLKS!
Hi, ok well im now a little wiser four months on =:O)
Just overwriting the "front" view at your preferred front view pretty much auto aligns all the other views and everything to my preferred way of doing things (YZ front).
My start model has a little 100mm ref cube and three axis...
Thank you for your replies.
I have to say i dont fancy eco squeeze! sounds a bit risky for my conservative soul, nothing from autocad, have renamed the big sketch and created offshoot models, deleted all the lines not pertaining to the child models, but the file size stays the same.
It was a...
Hi,
Im currently just doing 2D layouts SLDPRT Sketching and Ive noticed that just in sketches the files can accrue a size SW doesnt like (i.e over 1Mb per sketch). Thereafter I split the sketch into separate models, i.e. delete 80% of the number of lines in the sketch, but the file size...
From a philosophical point of view, the post assembly plastic weld operations are themselves a separate entity / process, and could perhaps be best represented by a new part, i.e. weld bead etc. With all the weld beads thereafter collected as there own sub assy.
Thanks very much for your quick responses much obliged!
The solution I am pursuing is as follows.
I have simply drawn a cube and gone old school! Used the normal to face view feature (right click after highlighting face). Then pressed spaced bar and created a new named view. Sometimes the view...

Hi, have read a couple of threads on this see reference, but dont think I have "deep" defined my template satisfactorily thus far.
I want XYZ to be in their correct formats for as according to the rest of planet earth (i.e. Z up : it seems a rather basic error), i.e. not the...
Success...............

Cheers Sir Limey!
That looks just the ticket.
Ive saved a bunch of links to investigate this stuff in a few weeks once some other rubbish is out of the way. Im told Solidworks to Catia V6 conversion is easy enough - we will see!
I propose to grab as many models as possible, then cherry pick /...
From my perspective (20 years CAD, 10 years parametrically), inheriting some generous souls parametric solid models of engine bits and bobs that I can cherry pick from will be easier than starting from scratch.
This opinion is not aligned though with messrs hydrae & thundair! whose comments...
Hi Thundair!
Thanks for your quick reply and links, much appreciated.
yeah the patent thing accelerates in time and cost quite quickly, you need everything ready to rock, the 12 months cover doesnt last long ...........just 12 months! =:o)
Yep im semi expert on V5 now, but as you said...
Hello ladies and gents,
Apologies but I am on the scrounge big time for some Catia (or maybe solidworks) generic engine parts! Now unemployed in a melting car industry, would like take some of my mad inventions lurking on the backburner for about 10 years, forwards!
I reckon I can get a...
