    Bravo to Solid Edge conversion: program given- doesnt work properly

    It's been 11 months since I initially posted this message, tried many things. Have read tons about converting BravoDraft .dwg files to Solid Edge dwg or AutoCAD dwg. There seems to be no easy and simple way. We're still working with Bravo unfortunately. Let me know if you find anything...

    wearing taps too fast, looking for 7H and 8H specs, thanks all

    The material used is a Cast Alloy Steel similar to Catapilar Alloy used on costruction equipment. The holes have a depth of 1.38 min to 1.62 max and are full thread depth. We use coolant as well as standard taps. There are 4 holes to be tapped each side. Thanks for all the help guys

    wearing taps too fast, looking for 7H and 8H specs, thanks all

    What I've listed in the initial post is for 6H tolerances. That is what we are curently using. But were going through a 50$ tap every part and a half(8 holes per part-600 parts to finish still). Since the material is really hard we are looking to use a larger drill and then when tapping there is...

    Bravo to Solid Edge conversion: program given- doesnt work properly

    In contact with USG technical support, I have been told: "Just rename the file so the extension is .CMD. This works good with a shortcut to BravoDraft. Just chance the shortcut startin directory to the one you want to do the translation on. Next start the shortcut. When BravooDraft is prompting...

    Converting BRAVO to SW or pfd- 2D to 3D

    Many many many posts talk about converting old 2D drawings to SW, and it seems like its been suggested to re draw the files individually. The company I am working for has near 20 000 files needed to convert form BRAVO to SW or PDF format, some form of presorvation. (bravo and SW both have DWG...

    Transformation of manual drawings to 3D CAD

    As to previous posts, I was wondering if anyone has found a program that will convert 2D Bravo files to SW or pdf in mass amounts. (for presorvation purposes) Our company is going through a retrofit in joining with another company and we are responsible to transfer our 20 000 drawings from the...
