    How to set up colors ?

    Self learning Inventor 2008 after 5.5 years on Solid Works Question: How do you set up colors so that there is a big color difference between fully defined (constrained) and not fully defined elements in sketch ? On my default set up the difference is hardly visible - not fully defined lines...

    SolidWorks 2008 vs. Autodesk Inventor 2008

    Mass questions

    Tried to do - it does not work. Get N/A in lieu of mass, area etc. BTW, we are large company and all the software is legal ... So I am starting to guess that there is a ..... in the software ...

    Mass questions

    Well, if you have an assy (2 welded parts) the mass does not show up on assy even though it does show up on both details (*.ipt). Go figure ...

    Mass questions

    I experimented with <MASS\P2;> a bit, I think contrary to what you say it is a perfectly legal thing coming from Inventor - it means Precision 2 decimal places. I guess the error is somewhere earlier - somwhere "between" part and drawing, or perhaps even at the part/assy level ...

    Mass questions

    Interesting ... If you try to edit it, a window pops up saying Type: Physical Properties - Model, Property - MASS. If you "enter" it by icon on the right, it shows up in the window below as <MASS>, but when you finally hit OK and exit that pop up window it shows up in the Title Block (which is...

    Mass questions

    On the *.ipt under iProperties, tab Physical I have mat'l, density and Mass=12.66 kg (Area etc). Yet on .idw I get N/A for <MASS\P2;> Obviously something is wrong, but what ??

    Mass questions

    Inventor 2008 - What to do so the mass of a part "propagates" to next assy - to next assy etc - to part dwg - to assy dwg. Have had 5.5 years on Solid Works (till very recently). Know $PRP etc. Now have to use Inventor - 3 day experience. Thanks for all the answers.

    I think it should be possible

    Regg, thanks, I tought of it too, but of course it becomes a pure madness and absurd as you remarked if you have an assy of 100 parts and you have to do it the hard way :-( :-( Not to mention the fact that the size of all detail dwgs would become hudge too ... Thanks to all for the replies.

    I think it should be possible

    In the company I work for they want to have number of parts needed for assy to be also specified on detail dwg. For example on PIN.slddwg there should be a note saying: 2 required. I know that QUANTITY appears automatically on the BOM of the assy dwg. Is it possible to somehow "link" that...

    SolidWorks 2008 Released

    I think it's ridiculus to release something called 2008 before even the first half of 2007 is out ...

    PDM Works

    I my opinion very good. I wish Matt also wrote "Bibles" on SW Surfacing and Sheet metal. In the SW Bible he spends quite a few pages on those subjects, but I have a feeling he knows much much more on the subjects than it's in the SW Bible ..

    Need a hint ...

    Yeap, it was Intersection Curve - Matt just replied, in a meantime I FINALLY fugured out that my-self too, using manxJim hint. Thank you all

    Need a hint ...

    Matt Lombards Bible is very good - I am just following the tutorials and exaples from the CD. On page 290-291 there is a 3D Curve Driven Pattern (figure 8.15). The model is on the CD and I can not figure out how the "spiral" curve was created on the body. I presume the Surface-Sweep1 was...

    SW 2007 SP4.0 Causes Computer Crash

    On my computer McAfee could NOT be turned off permanently for installation. No matter what we did, it would come back on after about 2 min. We ended up by completely removing McAfee, doing clean installation and then re-installig McAfee. Is there anyway to PERMANENTLY turn off McAfee for the...

    Routing

    I have SW 2007 Office Premium, which comes with Routing. Does anybody know where I could read/get more info (tutorial) on that subject ?

    Can this Animation to be done ?

    - It looks like I was wrong - it's the size of the font in ASSY that controls the size of the font in the eDrawings. - It looks like the following is still valid:

    Can this Animation to be done ?

    Some progress: - It looks like in Properties--> Document--> Annotations Display the box Always Display Text at the same size must be cleared in details and assy (where you do the annimation). - It looks like the first Part1 you put into the assy controls the size of the (dimensions) font in...

    Can this Animation to be done ?

    I made another simple assy and an animation. From the beginning I used smaller font size and it looks like it remains the same (smaller) size in the eDrawing animation. Need to do more "research" in this area - could it be that eDrawings "remembers" original size of part that had had the bigest...
