I agree that they are not difficult to make, but I don't know the corner radius on a piece of 2x2x.25 angle iron.
I will have to look into getting the toolbox....

Sorry, the title was supposed to be "Material for disposable clip".
I am meeting with a plastic manufacturer this morning to move the project forward. I will keep you guys posted on what I end up with.
thanks
Joe
I am working on the design of a clip that will be used in our manufacturing process to help stabilize the corners of some flimsy frames.
It is basically a corner clip that will snap into the frame to help hold the corner square. It will be used a couple of times and then thrown away. It will...
Man, I knew I asked the right group of guys! The fact that I may have mis-stated my question, is another issue. In reality, I am concerned with Stability, as handleman pointed out.
I will sort through this in the morning and see how it affects my design.
thanks!

Flores, that makes me laugh! Actually its more of an assembly easel, I try to simplify my examples but in the end its easier to just give the details!
Joe
Alright, I have searched all over and I can't find the answer to what I thought was a simple problem.
I have designed a table in SW and have calculated the CoM, now I want to know what force is required to tip it over. I am disregarding friction at this point and assuming the table will not...
gwubs,
That sounds like what I want to do. Do you setup the columns, bus bars, air distribution, etc? Just curious, it looks like we will be doing a new plant this fall and I will be the guy. I would love to switch it over to SW!
Joe
Thanks for the tip, but since its a networked directory, other people need to be able to see it. I did find a little program called SearchWin that is perfect for what I need. It allows you to either select the folders you want to search in, or exclude folders from a search.
Thanks!
Joe
I have spent all of my SW experience as a Product Design Engineer, but have sense made a career change to a Process Engineer.
My dilema? Plant layouts done in ACad! I hate it, I have picked up enough to survive, but man, I don't want to start up a new plant trying to wade through ACad.
The...
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to exclude a directory from a file search. I am trying to find a file on our network and during my search I would like to exclude a directory that is used for back up that takes forever to search through.
Anyone know if this is possible? I am doing...
After reading Ken's post, thats what I did. Going into it I didn't realize that they all had to be in one file to get the counts right. Live and learn....
Thanks guys!

Alright, I am relatively new to cutlists and assemblies. At least at a formal level of making prints with BOM's and Cutlists.
Here is my question. Picture a basic swingset, with two A-frames at the ends (made of 6 pieces total, 3 pairs of the same cut) and a couple of boards tying them...
I think I have an easy one here, but we will see. I know how to get custom properties from my model when my ActiveDoc is the model: SwModel.CustomInfo2(). How do I get to the custom properties if my drawing is my ActiveDoc?
I am working in the drawing and trying to update the title block, but...
Alright, I am making progress on my automation of our drawings, but I have a question. Is there a way to auto scale a view so that its no closer than 2" from the nearest border (after the view has been centered)?
I have a drawing with a single view in the middle, but my product ranges from 6"...
Handleman, thanks for the help. I didn't end up using your code, but it put me on the right path. There was actually two items in API help that got to my final code: "Iterate through dimensions in model example" and "Determine if Display Dimension Marked for Drawing Example". Here is the code...
I am looking for a way to unselect all dimensions that are selected as "Mark for Drawing". I only need about a dozen dimension for my automated print, but part of the automated print generation is the importing of model items. Since I use a lot of weldments, all of the dimensions for the...
I am playing with a VB program that I downloaded through the API help, but I have run into a problem. First off, the program opens a SW assembly, creates a drawing from the assembly. It then cycles through each view to determine the size and rescales it to fit the border that was picked. It will...
