I used the hide dimension line command, because what I needed to do was linear foreshortened dimension which solidworks doesn't support. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it's close enough.

Here's what I'm talking about http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=d2e76748-ae43-40fe-b754-c2f28acb9dcd&file=Eng_Tips_Picture_Example_2.png

I'm trying to dimension to something fairly far away from the part itself and I don't want the dimension line to go off the drawing page. Is there a way to cut off a dimension? To only have one leader the dimension and then the line ends at some point?

I think you will probably be fine as long as you don't put your seal on anything.

That might work, let me try that out.

The coordinate system is angled differently from default. It's not a matter of relabeling the axes. To manually change one set of coordinates to the other coordinate system. I'd have to use a transformation matrix. Which I am not all that thrilled to try to use. I wanted to check if there was...

Is there a way to use the curve through xyz points command and have it use a different coordinate system that I've defined rather than the default one?

Does anyone know where I can get a good tutorial on macros?

Ok in summary I'm using Solidworks 2010 http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=d8fcfc8b-0515-4966-9069-5aa4ae197cae&file=Max_distance_between_two_curves.png This picture should illustrate is what I'm trying to do. I'm also trying to measure this on a dwg file. All I want is a way...

I'm in 2010

I tried toggling the xyz measurements and it hasn't done anything.

Is there a way to get the measurement tool to measure the maximum distance between two curves? Because there seems to be an option on the popup that appears when the tool is activated but it doesn't seem to do anything. It still measures between the closest points. Am I using it wrong?

I live in the Greenville area and it's a pretty nice place.

I found in my job searching after college that companies very rarely asked for my GPA. Mostly companies only seem to care about what working (or equivalent Research or Project) experience you have. Also 3.0 from GT will not weigh you down in the slightest.

So there is no command that can do this in Solidworks? It is going to be extremely difficult to make this fillet by a sweep. I'd be pulling my hair out.

Does any one if you can use a variable radius to not just change the fillet radius along the edge but to make the radius themselves non constant. I mean have the distance the fillet extends be longer on one surface than the other?

I believe you are talking about this? http://www.wired.com/design/2012/11/staples-goes-3-d/ I'll just leave this here then.

We'll be able to design parts without as much consideration of how it'll machined. The metal additive printers are really cool. There is a commercial level 3D printer about 20 feet away from where I'm sitting. I get to play with it, it's really cool.

Yes it is I! I am you from an indeterminate amount of time in the Past! I am here to warn you about things that have already happened and you are very much aware of!

I've always been quite gifted with words both in written and spoken forms for an Engineer. So I've never had trouble with that issue. The things I've had problems with 4 months into my career is handling office issues and knowing what work prioritize when my boss keeps dumping things on me...
