Try Object Visibility from the View menu. This gives me better results, though it doesn't seem perfect all the time (though that may just be me!) Mike 90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a project takes the other 90% of the time!

Please can someone explain the following... One of our clients is discovering that eg 50mm dims are either 49.9999999 or 50.0000000002 etc. What causes this and what can be done to fix it? Obviously, if something is actually that long, then it is, but if you draw a rectangle 50x50, then...

You're right, I was not going via Bill of Materials. I'll try what you suggest. Thanks. Mike 90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a project takes the other 90% of the time!

BOPMan, thanks for the reply. Everything for ASME B16.5 flanges I guess! #150 to #2500, 1/2" to 24". Not many really! Mike 90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a project takes the other 90% of the time!

Could the problem be graphics card related? I say this because it seesm that the display is incorrect, but that IV can't see a problem with the constraints. Mind you, I'm guessing here! Mike 90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a project takes the other 90% of the time!

As a company, we have families of part no's, used for certain items. I manually change part n's in a parts list to match what we want, then sort the list based on the item no. (part no.). This works OK, unless I have made a mistake and edit an item no. a second time. If the parts list now...

I had a similar type of problem, with assemblies 'jumping' around, all of a sudden, leaving pipework, including adaptive stuff, hanging in mid-air. I received no errors on the constraints which were obviously very much in error! I traced this to having multiple grounded assemblies in my...

Have I gone blind? Can I just not see stud bolts in the Content Center fasteners section...or are they not actually there? I mean the type suitable for ASME B16.5 flanges, that sort of stud bolt. Flanges are there and I think the heavy hex nuts are too, but I can't see the stud bolts...

We don't use Vault. Each 'job' is created within its own folder on our server. I have 2 new 'things' to design, each very similar to one I've just finished. I planned to create 2 new folders and copy all the files from the original folder into the 2 new ones, then make the necessary changes...

I have used SwageLok components for over 10 years on hydrogen lines of 1" and smaller and never yet had a problem. Pressures were never more than 6barg admittedly, but fittings are repeatedly made/un-made with no problem. I have never 'doped' a ferrule, indeed the only leaks I've ever seen...

Everyone... Thank you all very much. The application is not low temp so I shall be going with A106 (pipe) and A234 (fittings). Once again Eng-Tips not only gets me out of a hole but puts my mind at rest too! Thanks again. Mike 90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a...

I also know that A333 is a piping spec, but I have seen ASTM A333 Grade 6 steel referenced as the material of construction for A234-WPB fittings, and by more than 1 manufacturer as well. Are they wrong/confused, or am I? Have just checked and according to ASME II, SA234-WPB is a material spec...

I'm producing a piping spec (for the 1st time, as I expect will become apparent!) and have a question about fittings. I have specified ASTM A234-WPB for the fittings. Is this a material spec or a forming spec? I ask because I have seen mention that A234-WPB 'uses' ASTM A333 steel. Does that...

Cockroach, Ytse: thanks fellas. I think I can see my way out of the forest now! Mike 90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a project takes the other 90% of the time!

Hello All! I'm really struggling to come to terms with various ASTM standards which I'm sure you all know about... Example: I'm specifying stainless steel (304 type) butt-weld fittings. The geometric standard for these is ASME B16.9 (I hope, or I've got EVERYTHING wrong!). The material...

Thanks Ashereng I knew I could count on this forum, yet again, to help me out! Thanks again Mike 90% of a project takes 90% of the time...the last 10% of a project takes the other 90% of the time!

Somewhere I have seen a document which allowed me to estimate the compressed air consumption of air op valves in a small system. It listed estimated air consumption rates for on-off actuators as well as control type actuators. Of course, now I can't find the blasted doc anywhere! Does anyone...
