    Fit Spline - Choosing Direction

    I used a demo of the Wiring/Piping Add-on and then analyzed what the add-on was doing. It was basically using the Connection points as geometry for the Fit Spline tool. But somehow the add-on knows the direction. So I’m pretty sure it capable of being used as a wiring tool. Unless anyone else...

    Fit Spline - Choosing Direction

    When I use the Fit Spline tool and unselect the "Closed" box to create a spline segment, the direction that the spline enters/exits the selected geometry is never correct. I use this tool to create wires (cant afford the add-on) in and out of connectors. And if you cant choose what direction...

    Hems and Miter Gap

    im not sure how to add a picture to a forum. I have tried everything to get it to work and it just wont. It only works if i add a hem to a base flange, as soon as you go to a miter flange the hem overlaps. I have tried it on several computers with the same result. Im pretty sure this is a...

    Hems and Miter Gap

    I just upgraded and it still does it. Is there something i might need to set in the options? or am i using the wrong feature? I create a base flange using a rectangular sketch, then i create a miter flange on all four sides with a 0.01" miter gap. Then i create the hem on the 4 sides and the...

    Hems and Miter Gap

    Im running 2005 SP2.0. Is there a reason why the Hems are not creating a Miter Gap? When i change the size of the miter gap in the Hem properties, i can see the preview of the model flicker like its trying to change the gap size, but it never does. The hems just keep intersecting each other. Any...

    Reducing rendering time for Multi region sketches or extrudes

    My computer is a P4 2.4G with 1G ram, Quadro FX500 video and the Virtual is set at 858M. The file sizes range depending on the board, around 3M up to 12M. But usually after i run UNFRAG on them they drop in half. Peter Rudge Daniels Electronics

    Reducing rendering time for Multi region sketches or extrudes

    Sorry, i knew i forgot to mention something. We use the EDA to export from Protel to Solidworks. The problem occurs after the EDA is complete and I want to modify a sketch in the Solidworks part. I will have several extrude features that make up the complete board. (ie TOP PADS, TOP TEXT...

    Reducing rendering time for Multi region sketches or extrudes

    I work for an electronics company that uses the EDA tool to create a very accurate 3D Model of our PCBs. These pcbs become very complex in Solidworks due to the multi region nature of the component pads. These pads are basically rectangles or circles placed all over the PCB and are in the range...
