?? Uhhhhh... yeah of course if you already knew a priori that it was an unstable structure. And if you knew it was unstable, no sane person would change the loads in a way that will cause it to fail. Also, no sane engineer would design and build an unstable structure to begin with either. But...

What is the procedure for tightening or loosening PT at #11, which has 2 PTs? Or any PTs in general for that matter. Assume both PTs in #11 are tightened to their max compression load and you want to loosen them. Do you loosen both simultaneously (so you will need two jacks)? Do you loosen one...

This part always bugs me about autodesk inventor. With solid edge its a two step process. When you are in sketch mode and you want to rotate something, you have two choices after selecting the sketches you want to rotate. First you select the center point, and then you select the end reference...

nevermind, boolean subtract found

How do you create a negative of a feature using ST3? I dont have the mold design addon. For example, I create the positive part that is a mouse for example. I want to create the mold for this curvature surface. So ideally I will extrude a full block in assembly as another part file, then I want...

I know you can ultimately create the same geometry after dimensioning and constraining drawn features. But this is ridiculously slow. In other programs that allows snapping, you can simply draw construction lines etc and rely on these to quickly and efficiently create drawings. Im still...

What do you mean by giving a distance? Do you mean using the 'constraint defined' commands, where you already have an object drawed and you want to define relationships relative to other lines? Do you mean you can snap onto features when doing that? What I mean is not have to go through the...

THanks for the links. I just looked at the video and it doesnt seem he did any snapping onto previously draw objects. It seems he was using the grid snapping and he drew objects using multiples of the grid size so it worked out, but if it was some fractional value he wouldnt have been able to...

Im used to solid works solid edge and autodesk inventor. Im starting to try out catia v5. How do you snap lines onto objects when drawing new objects in sketch mode or when trying to move a sketched object? I cant seem to do this. Say you already have an extruded part. Then on a surface you do...
