In the assembly model I previously posted, is it possible to make a design table in the assembly and drive the parts from that? I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to make changes in the assembly to the center duct plate, and have it redraw the flanges. What is basically happening is the...

Hello, I apologize in advance for asking such a simple question, but I am struggling to change my display styles in Autocad. I am running 2008 MEP and I would like to have the default setup for any new drawing I open to have the snaps off, the grid off, and the view style to be realistic. I...

New PostCorBlimeyLimey (Mechanical) 27 Feb 09 11:34 Take a look at the Fill Pattern function. It will do what you want without the need for equations. I tried the fill pattern, but it did not seem to do the trick.

Thank you so very much for the rapid replies. I have made quite a bit of progress and am uploading my model that I have built so far. I have run into 1 small snag. The center piece on the assembly is just to show duct open size, and the side flanges are modled to it. I followed the steps...

Good morning to everybody. I have a question about configurations. I am trying to build a rectangular flat duct flange to weld onto the end of a piece of HVAC ducting. My customer specs that I must pre hole the flange for him, and the max centerline distance between holes cannot exceed 2"...

Hello, I am using SW 2007, and am wondering if it is possible to have SW create drawings of the weldment parts. I can do a "save bodies" and "rip" the weldment sections into separate part files, which I could make drawings of. the problem is, that once ripped I think they lose relations to...

First I would like to again thank the people who helped with this post. Those macros are awesome and work very well. Again I have to ask for help though. I have used the above macros to create thousands of part files. Now I have been tasked with creating flat pattern dxf's of all those part...

Quantities vary from 1 up to 340. The number of parts is well in the thousands. This is something that does happen often, and if I could find semi automated way, I could start and let it just run through the night.

Actually, I apologize I posted that last comment prematurely. There is one step I am missing. In the spreadsheet it also denotes the quantity of each line item to be brought into the assembly. I have now taken this spreadsheet created configs, and am able to import them all into a seembly ...

We currently use Sigma Nest with SW 2007, and found it to be very compatable. Pros: It integrates very well. We will have a piece of furniture (sheet metal) modeled, and just tell Sigma Nest to import that model. It will run SW in the background, generate flat patterns off all the parts in...

Those are awesome little macros, and they work like a charm. Thank you very much for those. My problem has been solved, kudos to you :)

I have a interesting problem before me. I cuurently use SW 2007, and Sigma Nest. Sigma Nest will pull in a assembly from SW , flatten the parts, and nest them for our laser. sigma Nest will look at an assembly and automatically generate the flat patterns in SW, import the correct number of...

I think this software here should do the trick, am gonna check it out next week. http://aerohydro.com/products/industrial/sfw.htm

Actually no, we are going to use an english wheel to form it.

Sorry it took so long to respond, I have been trying out some of the other suggestions. Here it what I have accomplished so far. It is fairly basic. http://www.exiledplayers.com/temp/globe-slice-test.SLDPRT

I have actually done the paper model, i was hopeing to have it done in solid works. It is not required of me to do so, but i was just trying to push the envelope.

I have a interesting question for the community. I have been tasked with a side project, and am at a stopping point. I am trying to create a globe of the earth to mount outside our plant, but am having difficulty. I have created the sphere, then sketch planes, and finally, sliced the sphere...
