Of course!!! I feel like such a fool, the label will totally wrinkle. Ok, still time left to redesign that to a flat rectangle, from there I know how to get the label dimensions figured out. BIG thanks for pointing out that glaring error. Gerry www.scatmat.com

Hi Jabberwocky, I am confused. If I were to ask a graphic designer to make me a self adhesive label to stick on the face of the part in question (in real world production). How would I get the exact dimensions of the label to the designer so that he/she could make it? Keeping in mind that the...

Just catching up with how to do all this: My file is here, the white recessed area needs to be covered with a label. http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=41289 thanks Gerry

Hi, I have to create a label from a curved cylinder, and it's not an easy rectangle. Is there a way to project a flat profile from a curved (recessed for the label) surface? I need to get this part done long before the prototype model arrives. Any tips Thanks Gerry www.scatmat.com

Hi guys, we routinely send part files back and forth to our manufacturer in China. It's becoming a file management nightmare. How can you track revision changes to part files? Currently I send the file along with a email detailing each change, be it dimensional or a new feature. This seems...

I attended this place, http://www.camosun.bc.ca/tt/mech/ I don't recommend it either. However, make of it what I will, I did manage to land a really awesome job (much much later), that turned into sort of an industrial design position. So really I can't complain. You can't blame school for...

I graduated as a Mechanical Technologist, and we did have a few coures in drafting. What I really need to do is quickly draw illustrative drawings, more of an artist's conceptual drawing. The nitty gritty detail engineering drawings can come later. My approach as a designer is to get the...

Hi Fellow engineers designers and solidworks guru's. I find myself having to sketch on a whiteboard (in front of others) frequently. To be totally honest, my sketching skills SUCK. If I am be be competitive, keep my job, grow as a designer I need to learn how to draw. Since I have no formal...

Hi fellow workers, I am one of two solidworks users at my company, we also work in conjunction with two electronics techs. The four of us cannot decide on how to properly manage our files. We need help. The current engineering process goes like this: We come up with an idea, we prototytpe...

Hi Gang, I have our company logo, i converted it to a dxf and inserted it into a SW drawing sheet. Then i copied the sketch which consists of mostly splines into my part drawing. However it's a whee bit too big. How can i scale down my sketch. It won't allow me to convert entities, or allow...

THANKS!! Note font that did it sw2003 excell driven BOM

Can this be adjusted, if so where is it done, My bom is huge, taking up more than half the drawing page. I can't find any thing that references the bom font or table size? Thanks for any help GErry

I ordered "Digital Lighting and Rendering"by Jeremy Birn (ISBN 1-56205-954-8). It's easy to follow for newbies like me, and after only a few pages into the book my renderings are looking much better. Gerry Bolda

ok i'll start, We use (well are hoping to) photoworks for pre-sales drooling. Basically we come up with an idea, in order to pre-sell that idea a nice glossy picture is required to get all our distributors pumped up. I see realistic rendering being a very valuable tool for future employment...

Hi guru's I'm playing around with some of the advanced settings in photoworks 3, and my part is starting to look pretty darn cool. However......I find that the part on my screen is far lighter in shade than my rendered part. It takes about 5 min to render each time after I make a change, i...

Thanks that worked just super!!! Gerry

Hi, I am desiging a promotional product. Essentially it's a scaled down model of one of our products. It will fit on the end of a pencil and remind the user that they should look us up on the net, or buy on of our products. Yeah I know, cheezy marketing.... I have all the parts that make up...

hi guys, here's a pdf page with my design, can you have a look and see if it's feasable. Top dome maybe PETG or PC and base LDPE. http://www.scatmat.com/ScarecrowPOP/pop_photos.pdf

Right....Show sketch, man that solves alot of problems. I had them disapearing on me before, but now it makes total sense. thanks very much!!!

Hi, I created a set of construction lines and used them as my reference for a sketch. On a new sketch why can i not use those constuction lines from the previous sketch to reference a new sketch. I hope that makes some sense. I'm trying to avoid redrawing construction lines that use multiple...
