    display both text and image of dicom file

    I need to display both the text and image of a dicom file. When I use dicomread, I got the image only, not the text. When I do the following: info = dicominfo('CT-MONO2-16-ankle.dcm'); Y = dicomread(info); imshow(Y, []); The text (metadata?) is shown in info, but the image doesn't show it...

    replace a part/component in drawing

    Thanks for all your replies! The method by rlj4794 works smoothly. So I think the case is closed.

    replace a part/component in drawing

    Hi, experts; I am having this trouble: First, I built an assembly named assembly_original. Then, I used this assembly to create a drawing called drawing_A. Then, I copied assembly_original, and modified it as assembly_modified. Since assembly_original has not changed, drawing_A will not...

    line visibility at different viewing angle

    this is the file location. Thanks CorBlimeyLimey for the help. http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=4002193 As you can see, the two vertical lines on the top strip are not quite visible from this top view. Some other views are worse. Any idea how to this would happen?

    line visibility at different viewing angle

    I am having trouble to have a split line displayed when it is exposed. I created an surface body S first, then I split it with a split line L. When I view this surface with split line from different angles, although in all angles the whole split line L is visible, in some cases only a portion of...

    intersection line missing in 2D engineering drawing

    first question: I am trying to get some patent drawings for a 3D machine. second question: it is true that each sketch can be individually adjusted, I just learned this. The trouble with this is that, sketch line will be always regardless of viewing angle. I think the fundamental issue is...

    intersection line missing in 2D engineering drawing

    In my case this is an assembly, the sphere and cylinder are both components (In reality they are both more complicated than sphere and cylinder). It seems Surface Trims can only be used in a part. Can I use one component (which is a surface body) to trim another component in a assembly? The...

    intersection line missing in 2D engineering drawing

    My case is similar to the following: A = sphere surface body of radius 1 center at origin B = cylinder surface body of radius 0.5 and length of 2 center at origin A and B would have 2 intersection lines. That is the intersection line I am looking for, but is missing in 2D engineering drawing

    intersection line missing in 2D engineering drawing

    I found that the intersection lines are missing in 2D engineering drawing. In 3D models the missing of intersection lines are acceptable due to the shade difference of two bodies, but in 2D engineering drawing, it is very obvious. Any way to correct it? Thanks. This forum is very helpful. And I...

    orientation in 2D engineering drawing

    I am still new to solidworks. I build a 3D assembly, and now am trying to get a 2D line drawing. In the property manage of drawing view, it give all the standard 9 orientation options: front, back, right, left, top, bottom, isometric, trimetric, and dimentric. The trouble is, the best...

    where are those tool commands hidden?

    I am doing those online tutorial. They have some strange commands that I can't find it anywhere on feature tool bar, so I had to click on the online tutorial, then it will show up on the feature tool bar. Examples of such commands are "Delete Solid/Surface" and "Move/Copy Bodies". Where are...

    SW aborts when trying to open new part in assembly

    Thanks for your info. I restart my computer, follow the instruction (this time by insert->component->new part) , and it still aborts "due to unhandled error", and ask me to contact support representative.

    SW aborts when trying to open new part in assembly

    yes. The hinge is an assembly, and tutorial wants me to create the pin (new part) within the assembly. (I repeat your sentence to make it clear.) skiwindsurf

    SW aborts when trying to open new part in assembly

    Thanks for those who replied to my last question. I have a 2005 educational version, I am trying to follow the online tutorial. In the "advance design" lesson, which is a door hinge, after I put the two hinges together, the next step is to insert a pin into the connection. Here the tutorial...

    where is "Linear Sketch and Repeat Tool" command?

    Newcomer, in deep trouble. I am using solidworks 2006, just went thru the hell to install it and make it work. One tutorial shows the usage of "Linear Sketch and Repeat Tool", but I can't find this command anywhere in the software, help, please! skiwindsurfer
