I see that the most responses are coming from this forum as opposed to the other forum that I posted in. I know this somewhat out of the solidworks specific area but I do feel more comfortable with suggestions from people who are performing the same type of work as myself as well as from the...

Hello all, We have been discussing how to make the Engineering department more streamlined and productive. We currently have 2 CAD users, a technical writer, Engineering supervisor, and Engineering manager. Each of the designers (me included) have about 5 projects in process at all times...

I have the "Enable Multi-User Environment" unchecked. This makes the 2 lower options non-active (greyed out). ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge ***** Dell Precision 670 3.0 Ghz Xeon Processor Nvidia FX3450 3 gig of RAM Dual 19" Viewsonics

I may just be venting here but does anyone know why you are promted to "Save Changes" to something that was opened "View Only" and no changes were made??? Sick & tired of wasting time with rediculous clicks. Bloodclot :( ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge ***** Dell Precision...

Rocko1 - Good point and I have seen that as well. My last employer had one design engineer and he kept his cube dark and I mean black (full height walls) with the exception of an under cabinet light that he would only turn on he he needed. You could see this "glow" at the end of the hall, kind...

handleman - OK, I'm going to give your suggestion a try and see how it works. I'll let you know hopefully this afternoon. BC ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge ***** Dell Precision 670 3.0 Ghz Xeon Processor Nvidia FX3450 3 gig of RAM Dual 19" Viewsonics

Adding the features in the assy file is the only way i can do it because it follows the manufacturing process. 1st we extrude then we add this machining process. By adding the machining process we have to make it an assy file. If I was to create a BOM for this assembly it would only consist...

CorBlimeyLimey - I do not have the option of offset from surface. I only have Blind, Through All, & Midplane. This may be because I am in a SLDASM and not an SLDPRT. Is it possible to do an Ext-Cut with a 3D sketch? If so, I could sketch the profile of the 2 faces to each other and then do...

Heckler - We do not have a manufacturing engineer, maybe we should. Finethread - I like the idea of a sign across the doorway, I may give that a try. In any case, it is comforting to know that I do not walk this road alone. Bloodclot ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge *****...

Anyone know of a good tutorial out there that really explains or shows how to make equasions? If I bang my head against the desk any longer I'm going to need a transfusion. Basicly I have a part with 2 parallel faces offset a distance of 1.44". If I move one face (extrude cut) I need the...

We have tried the controlled interruptions in past and it actually worked for a few days. Then it became a bi*ching session. Basicly it went like this, "So now production is supposed to stop what they are doing because you don't wan't to be interupted"? After that, the process went right back...

I tell you what, this is my 4th Monday this week. Everytime I get working on something I have to drop it 10 minutes later to address some issue that was just dropped in my lap. I have been working on a model that should have taken 1-1.5 days to complete and I started it on the 1st Monday of...

I was wondering why someone would add a display state rather than a configuration. Seems like adding a configuration would give you the same functionality as adding a display state plus the extra benefits that go along with configurations. If someone out there has chosen a display state over a...

Yea, me too, thanks. ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge ***** Dell Precision 670 3.0 Ghz Xeon Processor Nvidia FX3450 3 gig of RAM Dual 19" Viewsonics

I did redo the chamfer the way you mentioned (ext-cut) with draft outward and it worked great. Thanks for the suggestion. Bloodclot ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge ***** Dell Precision 670 3.0 Ghz Xeon Processor Nvidia FX3450 3 gig of RAM Dual 19" Viewsonics

handleman - We do not make drawings for each process like cutting to length (length is built into the part number) and casting (model only, no drawing). However, what you say about using config and putting them in as deep as desired is somewhat confusing to me as I am still trying to grasp a...

handleman - Not sure of the internal workings because all of our BOMs are created by a relationship between our MRP system TIW (workshop) & DBWorks. ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge ***** Dell Precision 670 3.0 Ghz Xeon Processor Nvidia FX3450 3 gig of RAM Dual 19" Viewsonics

I already did a revolve cut, but I think the hole series would have given me what I need. Comments welcome.... Bloodclot ***** Fear not those who argue but those who dodge ***** Dell Precision 670 3.0 Ghz Xeon Processor Nvidia FX3450 3 gig of RAM Dual 19" Viewsonics
