    Putting Volume in a drawing template

    I got it to work. I ended up using a BOM and just hiding the column that I did not want to see. Thank you all for the help. It has been a rather simple thing that I have been working on when I have had spare moments. It was only today that I sat down and thought the whole thing through...

    Putting Volume in a drawing template

    Over the weekend we upgraded to 2004. I guess we found a way to communicate with our manufacture that is still using 2003. Anyway I was just wondering if there is a better way to display the volume with in 2004? I hope there is. None of the other ways are ideal. We would just like to add...

    Putting Volume in a drawing template

    It seems as though I can not have only a custom value in a BOM. I want to have only the volume viable in a BOM within a drawing. So have the custom property called “VOLUME” which is linked to the volume of the part. This works well, however I also have another unit for volume within the BOM...

    Is UL approval needed to sell in the United States?

    I am working on a charger power supply for a low voltage application. Without a complete redesign it will not be made completely of UL approved parts. We will probably only make and sell 500 to 1000 total. So my question is this, Is UL approval needed to sell a product or not? ~ Mitch...

    Putting Volume in a drawing template

    How does one create a BOM with the custom property in it that works? I can not seem to make a BOM that SW likes. I have been getting errors when I try to insert it in to the drawing. Mitch "People hardly ever make use of the freedom which they have, for example, freedom of thought" Kierkegaard

    Merge Faces

    Thank you Scott. It was tangency that was causing the problem. And with a little tweaking of the path sketch it was all fixed. I am interested in the optimization command but I do not know how to activate it. Where can I find that command? ~ Mitch "People hardly ever make use of the...

    Merge Faces

    I have a part that I made with a sweep. The fist section of this sweep has only two faces, but the rest of the sweep has 6 faces on each section. Is there away to merge the faces so it looks better, or better yet is there a away to split faces? I have tried Kniting the surfaces but that...

    Putting Volume in a drawing template

    That sounds good but I am not the only person That sounds good but I am not the only one that modifies the parts. However there are only a few of us that do, so if I gave them the macro file this could work. How would I go about making such a macro? I have never linked a macro to...

    Putting Volume in a drawing template

    Often I need to add volume to a drawing. I have been doing this by adding a note on the drawing. This works but it means that I have to renter the value when I make changes to the part. Is there a good way to get the part volume both in English as well as Metric values on the drawing...
