Am I on Glue? Or can I use Glue? What exactly is your question?

I'm looking for an option to assemble 2 small aluminum parts without having to cut threads in them. The reasons I want to avoid cutting threads in the parts are: 1- the diameter is 1.75" to 2". 2- the thread engagement length is .225" 3- loads are very small 4- reduce cost Part #1 is a plate...

What's a good lightweight DXF viewer? Any good lightweight DFT viewers?

unclesyd, Did you buy the enhanced aluminum in a sheet form and then form it to a shape? Or is the coating applied after the reflector is formed? I'm looking for 2'x2' sheet of .030" thick aluminum the has this dielectric coating applied, any ideas where to buy it? Also in regards to...

NickE, thanks for the quick reply! I've being testing highly polished aluminum (CoilZak) and it works very well for visible and IR, but not as well as I hoped for UV. From some Googling I've found a company called Acton Research Corporation that makes a coating out of No. 3000-SI Al-SiO2. Does...

I'm looking for a material that is highly reflective for UVC (240nm to 265nm band). I need it to be cheap and easy to form a reflector out of it. Or if anyone knows of a coating process that can be used on a formed piece of aluminum that would be good for reflecting UV. It would be used as a...

should of thought of that, thanks!!

I'm using some trig functions to set the lengths of some features, however you need to use an angle in radians. How can i use the constant of PI in formulas? I need it to change a dimension in degrees to radians. Right now I put PI() into a Excel cell and linked it to my file, however I don't...

what buttons do you hold down to zoom?

Sorry about the thread title, meant to say compression spring!

I'm looking for a soft compression spring, but that is short in length, so far no luck. k = 1.0 lb/in free height <= .75" inside diameter >= .25" Looked at Barnes (SPEC) and McMaster so far for in stock springs. Any one know who might have something in this range that is off the shelf?

Where can I get SE framework so I can get my software boys to compile a dll for me on a computer without solid edge?

Is there a way in Solid Edge Draft to make the hole callout automatically grab how many holes of the same type? "2X DIA .125 THRU" In assembly it can pattern to holes that are created within the same step or feature, so draft should be able to count how many holes there are.

Thats what were are starting to do. What do you do for dates? We here have changed the dates to text so we can put spaces, then change back to dates when needed for revs B,C,... I going to try to create a macro that will go to the background sheet, hide the necessary layers with 1 button...

I installed Macro-expert but have some questions for some more experienced users. - Can the macros created be played on computers without macro-expert? - can you run a macro without macro-expert running? - can you make the playback not run in real time? ie speed it up?

Hello, I've setup a template for our company but need to add some functionality but don't know how. We have a revision block with Drawn, Checked and Approved where the signatures go for REVs B,C,... (NOT REV-A) We need these spaces blank so when we print there is white space to sign. But...

thanks PellaKen, exactly what I was looking for!

Anyway to get the Edge Bar in Solid Edge assembly environment to display the "Title" field of the file properties for all the items. Our filenames are part numbers, and they start to loose meaning. Displaying the Title so you have the description would be alot nicer.

Hi, Just wanted to get some feedback on how many acronyms and abbreviations are in this standard. We are considering buying it and would like to know if it extends beyond what would be seen on a drawing. Does it have abreviations for alot of words like "Bracket" "Plate" "Housing" "Printer" or...

Allen4, thanks for the great link. drawoh, I'm with you about taking info out of the description. We use part number like mil spec by using dash number for diameter and lenth. -5C-12L = 5/16" UNC bolt thats 12/16" long and self-Locking. I vote was for just "SCREW, PHILLIPS HEAD MACHINE" but...
