    Part count in Draft enviromnent, is it possible?

    Hi beachcomber I want to display the quantity in the part drawing as it helps the guys on shop floor to know how many of part "A" they must fabricate. The shops overhere do not look at the assembly and each worker gets a specific part to fabricate) It also removes one more step i have to...

    Part count in Draft enviromnent, is it possible?

    Hi Is there a way to show part count(linked to the assembly) in the draft drawing of a specific part? For example lets say you have 10x of part B in the assembly, i would like 10 to show up(automatically) in the quantity cartridge in the draft file of part B. (So i dont have to do it manually...

    Questions for Mechanical engineer technologist

    Its seems to me that MET courses in the rest of canada and the US is quite different when compared to overhere(Quebec) Maybe someone could post up the typical MET courses in the US or canada. My MET exams where never of the "back of the book" you had start at the begining of the...

    Questions for Mechanical engineer technologist

    Its to further hone my skills i dont know about MET courses in the US but in canada its very a complete course. I had the same number of machine design, materials and physics courses as my friends with BA in ME. I think it would more geared towards some structural courses as i think its lacking...

    Questions for Mechanical engineer technologist

    Any of you guys ME technologists? Ive been an ME tech for about 6 years designing machines and i love it..but i would like to perfect myself and thinking of taking some extra course at Uni.(maybe some kinematics and some structural courses) Just wondering if you guys ever felt the need to get...

    Yield or Tensile strength for calculating parts

    Well gather you can use which ever force with the factor of safety, just depends on the -situation(lives in danger) -material(brittle or ductile etc) -How well you know the working conditions

    Yield or Tensile strength for calculating parts

    Well lets say look at both scenarios If the widget fails there will lives in danger.. And the opposite..

    Yield or Tensile strength for calculating parts

    by safety factor i meant to say "Factors of safety" From 1.5 to 4 depending on the application.

    Yield or Tensile strength for calculating parts

    I have always used the "ultimate strength" of a material when i know the safety factor and the "yield strength" in other situations.(when i dont have the safety factor) Is this accurate?(just having doubts after a debate i had with a fellow machine designer) Thank you in advance

    Viewperf.10 which benchmark reflects SE performance?

    Thank you for all the replies:0 HDS: thats exactly the reply i was hopping for, i will most definetly check out spec.apc benchmark! thank you

    Viewperf.10 which benchmark reflects SE performance?

    I’m in the process of building a new workstation to run SE. In the process of picking up the graphic card Looking at the ViewPerf. 10 benchmark, i was wondering which of the tests will most closely reflect SE performance? UGNX because it’s from the same company or SW because apparently it...

    Fits and tolerances

    Thank you for all the replies Dimensions for the part is as follows, A square shaft .250" wide and .375 long must into blind square hole .375" deep. I applied and LC7 fit clearence 0.004 to 0.0008 Fonction: Must easily deassembled by hand with little play. Die cast Tolerances are +-0.019"...

    Fits and tolerances

    Here it goes.. The other day i was designing two die cast parts that are supposed to slide into another,now i get to the part were i calculate my Fits. Now i know all about Locational clearence fits,force fits etc.. and that you have to consider the fabrication process quality ie: milling...

    Solid edge calculating bend tubes

    Exactly i need to know the lenght for documention, but... First ,i dont konw how to unbend a tube(round or square) Second, how to make SE calculate elongation of the unbend tubing just like a normal sheet metal part!?

    Solid edge calculating bend tubes

    Anyone know a trick to unbend tubes in solid edge? I need to know the lenght of tube needed before bending. Is there a program outhere that can do such calculations?

    How on earth do i edit the content in the title block?

    thanks fwc! just one more question...is it hard to create draft templates?
  19. RBX

    How on earth do i edit the content in the title block?

    Thanks for the input but is there a way to fill in the fields without manually going in the backround sheet and typing everything?(seems to be time consuming to put the cursor just right in each box i.e title,drawn by... etc)
