    Fuel Injector Dimensions / Tolerances

    Where can I get drawings, with dimensions and tolerances, for common gasoline fuel injectors, like 42#, 36#, 55#, both low and high impedance, like the ones from bosch or lucas, etc.? Something that will tell me how large that hole needs to be in the bottom of the fuel rail, what kind of...

    Tool to cut injector ports in a fuel rail?

    I am trying to make a new custom set of fuel rails. I have been told that there is a special 'port tool' used to cut the injector holes in the bottom of the fuel rail, that makes the correct radius for the o-rings and such. Can you tell me what this is called and where I can find one please...

    scan/import into SW?

    I have a gasket that I'm trying to use to create a flange from. It is kind of a complex shape (for me anyway) and doesn't really have any straight sections, its all curves. Is there a way to trace this gasket or maybe scan it on a document scanner, then be able to import this image into SW...

    3D Scanning? Maybe for Donald Trump.

    I've got some parts that I would *like* to have 3D scanned. They are all tubular parts, some semi-complex, others VERY simple. The goal is to get these prototpye physical parts into a 3D CAD file that I can send out to get quotes on getting them reproduced. I would like to have them in a...

    How to get a complex tubular object into CAD?

    What I *wish* I could find is a place where I take my parts, they lay them on a table, push a button, bam, scanned 360 degrees, maybe even a penetrating scan like an MRI, CAT scan or 3D Xray, for inside surfaces/cavities, then translated into a nice 3D cad file of my choice (SW of course). I...

    3D DXF files convert to 3D Solidworks files?

    I made a post last night here: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=121877&page=1 Which is kind of related to this. How do I get an .igs file from this wireframe? Is that a format that autocad can save to instead of a .dxf/dwg? It sounds like if I can get an .igs file, I could open it...

    Importing AutoCAD wireframe into SW

    I'm having some tubular parts measured with a CMM. The guy told me he'd give me an AutoCAD file with the wireframes of the parts. I don't know what version of AutoCAD yet. My question is can I bring this into SW and be able to manipulate it and if so, whats the best method. Whats the...

    Adding threaded holes to a nearly completed part?

    Thanks guys, thats what I was missing, editing the sketch created by hole wizard. That did the trick.

    Adding threaded holes to a nearly completed part?

    I've got a small part that I'm almost done with. All that is left is to add 4 small threaded bolt holes (4-48). The problem is that I can't seem to position/locate these holes exactly. What I want to do is create points for the center of each bolt hole, smart dimension them to the exact...

    How to get a complex tubular object into CAD?

    Actually CMM (coordinate measuring machine) was what I was looking for (same thing, different name). I had heard of it before, but couldn't remember what it was called, therefore I couldn't google. I found it this morning and called and found several in my local area and am going to take my...

    How to get a complex tubular object into CAD?

    I have some complex pieces of tubing that I would like to get into CAD so that I can get quotes on getting it reproduced. I know there is some method or device, where they take something like a v-shaped wand, index it to a known starting point (x,y,z), then drag the v-shaped wand (straddling...

    Extrude a shape thats a different size on both ends?

    I have a shape I need to extrude. The problem is that I need it to taper as it extrudes. For instance, picture a rectangular piece of tubing with very round corners, that is 2.0" x 1.45" on one end, I need to extrude this, about 6" in length, making both dimensions grow to 2.5" x 1.95" on the...

    Threading a pre-existing hole?

    I have an aluminum extrusion. It has a .70" ID hole in the middle of the extrusion. I need to thread both ends of this hole (extrusion is 14" long. I need to thread for a 3/4-16 fitting, .800 deep, on each end of this hole. When I use the hole wizard, pick all the specs, click next, then...

    cropping/adjusting space size/orientation

    I'm an AutoCAD newb, using '05. I have four issues I've been trying to solve. I have a flange that I scanned on a scanner, cleaned up in a graphics program, then used a utility to convert it from a photoshop file to an autocad file. 1.) The problem is that the drawing space where this object...
