    "PreviewCfg" configuration created by Solidworks annoyance

    Colin, Yes, I used the sldsetdocprop.exe utility that David Israel mentioned. The utility leaves much to be desired, but it works.

    "PreviewCfg" configuration created by Solidworks annoyance

    When I drag fasteners that have been create by the toolbox, but have been saved out as individual files, into an assembly, I am asked to choose a configuration, even if there is only one configuration in the fastener file. This is because a configuration is automatically added to the file...

    Import from HP SolidDesigner problems.

    Can you tell me more about what "Parasolid" is? SolidDesigner has one export option called "PROE-DIRECT". Do you think that this is the same? SolidDesigner has the following export options: ACAD IGES ALIAS IGES ANYC IGES ProE IGES UGRA STEP ALIAS STEP ANYC STEP ProE STEP...

    Import from HP SolidDesigner problems.

    I am having problems importing models from a customer who is using HP SolidDesigner. No matter what format my customer sends me, when I import the files, I either get useless geometry or the parts come in as surfaces with some surfaces misplaced or missing. What I'd like to see is the parts...

    Import from HP SolidDesigner?

    I'm having a hard time bringing in a third party model that was created in HP SolidDesigner. Regardless of what format my customer sends me, I either get useless entities , or I get what appears to be only surfaces with many surfaces missing or out of place. What I really want to see is...

    Can Engine be damaged from galvanic corrosion?

    One of the biggest problems with inboard or I/O engine configurations is that it is common to tie all grounds to the engine block. The obvious place to look for corrosion is in the prop or the I/O drive unit. Other places are the places that might remain in contact with the water such as...

    Does the Stainless Steel E316 resist seawater and Temp??

    On recreational boats, 316 is commonly used for high corrosion areas. It's affordable. More serious builders with slighly bigger budgets use Monel.

    Ink Composition in Ink Jet Printers

    I think that ink jet inks are water based with solid pigments. They also use glycol to slow down evaporation

    I need a sealant that will cure underwater.

    I know of two sealants used on boats that will cure under water. There are epoxies that will cure under water, but in order to get them to stick to PVC, you need to first apply some PCV solvent. Even then, I'm not sure that you'll get the best bond. You can contact the Gougeon Brothers, the...

    viewports; how to separate

    XREF the drawings you want into one drawing. Put them on different layers. In the LAYERS dialog, you can freeze certains layers in any viewport.

    opening .plt files

    PLT files are nothing more than postscript files (PS). You can open them with GhostScript or convert them to PDFs using Distiller. You can also print PLTs from a command line copy /b FILE1.PLT LPT1

    Plotting Plot Files

    More... Instead of typing the printer name like \\Ntserver01\Oce9400R above, you can map a LPT port to that printer. The command would be NET USE LPT1 \\Ntserver01\Oce9400R Depending you what OS you're running, you might want to add /PERSISTENT:YES to the end to make the map stick. Also...

    Creating a solid pipe problem

    You're trying to do something that is more complex than the ACAD ACIS engine can't do. You need to use simpler geometry.

    problems with saving .dwgs on a network

    If a drawing was opened by someone else as an xref, it can screw you up, even if they no longer have it open when you try to save. Check out the XREFCTL variable.

    Paperspace Viewports Rescaling Automatically

    Try Zooming to Extents in your viewports. This seems to "reset" autocad into working properly.

    Paper space & Pfd conversion

    Print to a file and create a PLT file. Then, either rename your PLT to PS, or associate PLTs to Adobe Distiller. Distiller makes PDFs from PostScript Files.

    Lisp for Automatic .plt (plot to file)

    There do exist batch plot lisp routines. If I remember, the Seattle Hermitage offered one. You should be able to easily find one if you look around. ACAD 14 also comes with a batch plot utility. BTW, we overcame this by always creating PLT files when we're done making a print. PLT files can...
