We as designers are responsible for being certain that the materials we call for parts to be made of are in compliance and the drawings go out with requirements for certs. But these edicts for notes come down from above and sometimes make more sense to management than the people who have to...

We are required to place a RoHS compliance note on the drawing of every part that comprises an assembly that we sell as RoHS compliant. The note we have been using may be a bit ambiguous and I was wondering what other people use as their standard note. We use: ALL MATERIAL, HARDWARE AND FINISH...

I generally use the hole pattern (tapped holes) that sits below the slot to make a feature driven pattern. It does require that you mate one of the fasteners to the hole first instead of being able to use a smart mate to the feature in the surface that, usually the flat washer, the first...

I have progressive lenses but they seem to only progressively make my eyesight worse. I'll have to try some separate dedicated glasses and see how they work out. Besides, the progressives are a pain if you want to lay down and watch TV.

I like the arm adjustability on that one. Unfortunately I live in a cube farm with a wrap around desk so I currently use a chair with one arm off so that my mouse arm rests on the table and my left on an arm rest.

I have tried for a position that puts more of the weight on my legs than my a$$ but I don't know how the physics of that is supposed to work. In a sitting position the center of gravity kind of forces most of the weight to be right on my seat. It seems the only way to change that would be to...

It looks like the Herman Miller Equa chair has ample padding at the front of the chair where my chair seems to be lacking it. That may be a key feature for me to look for since that is the main zone that seems to be causing me pain. I haven't had much problem with chair theft yet but that may be...

http://quicksearch.dla.mil/ is the site I use to find mil specs. Very many are superseded by SAE specs which you have to pay for but the historic superseded ones should, in most cases give enough info to create or confirm model geometry. http://www.mcmaster.com/# McMaster-Carr also has lots of...

Does anyone have one of those aeron chairs? Are they worth it?

Thanks MadMango, apparently the only pain at work isn't just the boss and the bugs. I've been wishing for a department masseuse for years now. They say we should be buying mattresses more often but I think my chair padding died a long time ago.

I am thinking about that option. I just don't want to go and spend $1000 and find the chair is no more comfortable than a moderately priced one. Hoping someone out there found one that stays comfortable for those long hours in the zone and could tell me about it.

This may be a bit off topic but it is something we probably all deal with. Does anyone have any recommendations for task chairs? I have worked for the same company for over 20 years and I think most of our chairs started here before I did. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat all day long and...

I mentioned that solution to him and he said he had tried it. Maybe, like you said, it has to be reset repeatedly and so that was why he said it wouldn't work. I suggested to him to make some sections of the sketch into sketch blocks to reduce the entity count and number of conditions to solve...

I can't tonight. Just about quitting time. I couldn't believe it myself until I saw it. I thought maybe he was confused by the things that should be undoable but aren't. But I watched him delete lines in the sketch and the undo and redo under the edit menu stayed grayed out. Guess we'll try...

I didn't mean a limitation on how many steps back you can go. I meant that he can't undo AT ALL because he has too many entities in the sketch.

Has anyone ever had their "undo" stop working altogether? A co-worker just ran into that issue. I think he got an error message stating something like "too many entities". I watched him and basic things like deleting a line in a sketch can not be undone. Is there a limit to the number of...

I've been using the gaming pad for a little while now. It has been good so far and I expect it will get better as my brain gets trained to it. One change I'd make to it if I could would be to change the button that switches between the 3 sets of key definitions into a slider so that I can...

With the gaming pad I don't have to take my eyes off the monitor. I have 59 control triggers under one hand that can be set up to run intuitively. Even just having a left hand number entry pad helps. The only time I need the keyboard is when I have to enter allot of text. The one thing I can...

I had been thinking about trying a new device since my Space Navigator wasn't getting much use due to the lack of enough buttons. I had seen a slew of devices discussed and the Belkin n52te was mentioned. So when it came on sale at WOOT.com for $35 shipped I jumped at it. Is anyone out there...

That's my conclusion too. It's just my nature to do my research before speaking to the salesperson.
