    plastic recommendation

    I've done quite a bit of searching and inquiring but have had no luck. I would have thought someone would have encountered and requested these two requirements on the same part prior. The component is used in a countertop water system and the design is such that this component is wetted and...

    plastic recommendation

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a type of plastic that can be injection molded, be FDA/NSF compliant and UL94 V-0 classified? Low cost is also preferred. Part quantities are in the 150,000/year and the part size is roughly Ø100mm x 75mm. Originally the part was spec'd as ABS/PC blend...

    translation into sine wave

    A DAQ is a data aquisition system. The one I am using is some variation of WINDAQ. The output through the DAQ is simply a set of numbers ranging from 0 to 20 (position of the table in inches). As the table cycles, the numbers increase from 0 to 20 and then decrease from 20 to 0 and repeats...

    translation into sine wave

    I have a reciprocating test table connected to a DAQ that outputs position sampled at the rate of 20 samples per second. The positional output is a range of values from 0 to 20 and over time a sample of 10 cycles is normal. I would like to graph this set of data in the form of a sine wave; 0...

    dimension display

    cowski, That is the item at issue: There was no indication that the view was out of date. No icon in the navigator nor were the dimensions greyed as I have seen in the past. Actually, I believe the view to be not out of date. It just seems that updating the view corrected the dimension. I...

    dimension display

    ewh, Are you saying that views (automatically) update when a drawing is opened, or to (manually) update the views after opening a drawing?

    dimension display

    In NX4 I'm having difficulty with a displayed dimension. I have a dimension that is exactly .21418. When displayed as a two decimal dimension on the drawing, it shows as .22 until the view is updated. I don't know how to explain this behavoir and it now makes me question all the dims on all...

    HOW TO MAKE A DRAWING OUT OF A PART FILE

    Why is it beneficial? Can anyone list these benefits? What about disadvantages to creating the drawing within the part file? Why is this not a good idea?

    pattern along helix

    In UG NX4, how can I pattern a cone (or any other design feature) along a helix? Imagine a 10" diameter cylinder, 36" long. I need a series of inverted cones (large diameter outward) patterned along a defined helix curve. There are actually about 150 of these cones, so modeling them...

    After you create your note, you can hold down the ALT key and move the note without association to existing objects. HTH

    load options save error

    Using NX4 (without TC) when I change load options, specifically search directories, and hit the save button, I get: Unexpected failure 1020014 from save defaults and none of the changes are saved. Anyone seen this before? It gets annoying having to define search directories every time an...

    display circles not ovals

    In Autocad 2002, how do I adjust the display to show circular circles (not ovals)? I remember doing this a long time ago, but now can't seem to recall. I searched and found this contained in a query on the solidworks forum: Would someone please divulge this method? This is beginning to drive...

    format -> visible in view

    I'm using NX4, am learning UG and have never used any previous releases. Can someone explain the use of "visible in view" settings? Often, when dealing with a file, looking for some small glitch or other reason for a problem in a model, coworkers suggest toggling the visible in view settings...

    extra wide electrical tape

    telecomguy, I have some of the 66' wide stuff already - it's just a wee bit short. I found a 6" wide vinyl tape at edemco.com. It is .005 thick and comes in varying colors. I think I can make it work. Thanks for the suggestions.

    extra wide electrical tape

    Can anyone suggest a source for extra wide electrical (vinyl) tape? I'm looking for something in the 6"-8" width range. Color is unimportant. Thanks in advance.
