    Eqations

    thanks for the replies. All are correct but say instead of a circle I had a square and wanted them spaced evenly over a set distance. I have worked out how to set the equation for a circle but for a sq i am having a little trouble. again any advice would be great.

    Eqations

    Hi, For the last few days I have been trying to equaly space a line of circles over a set distance. I think an eqation would do it but I cant figure out the best way to set it up. Any advice would be great thanks.

    Design Tables

    Ok i must agree maybe I do not know how to use DT's properly but how would one go about using a DT in a way that it would make the design process that much easier. Maybe I am just dim !

    Design Tables

    Thanks for all the replies. So from my understanding DT do have quite a lot of limitations. If you cant compile all of your DT into one top level DT I cant see the point in them. As you can just as quickly use the custom properties in part which is quicker I think.

    Design Tables

    Hi, Recently I have been looking into design tables. These do seem handy but is there a way to make one design table for an assembly and all of it parts. This way you can edit all of the part properties in one go. Also is there a handy way of making drawing numbers automatic. I have to enter...

    equal linear spacing

    thanks CorBlimey dont suppose you know of any good websites to learn these topics as i did try equations a while ago, but it got so complicated i gave up Cheers

    equal linear spacing

    Deisgn tables and equations...hmmm never really used them before is that the only method you know of. Also are these worth learning ?

    equal linear spacing

    hi dose anyone know how to equally space components over a set distance in a assembly. The linear pattern will not space equally over a set distance. This can take a huge amount of time doing this. any tips would be great

    Assembly Mirroring

    ng89 your right. It is a real pain especially when you have a large assembly that is constantly updating. Something like the dynamic mirror is sketch mode would be amazing. Why SW cant do this is beyond me. Would save hrs if not days of time for me. Anyway if you find a way pls let me know...

    Assembly Mirroring

    hi I have a quick question regarding assembly mirroring. If you build one side of a assembly with inplace mates, and want to mirror to the other side is there a quick way to mate the mirrored parts. At the moment I use a symmetry mate and then mate off the parent part. This seems a very long way...
