Thank you very much for your reply - I will do research on ProductView Adapter! :) As for the format, sadly I am not in authority position to set the policy of the firm.

Hello all, I have a question about .drw conversion to .dwg or .dxf format for (Auto)CAD. Within the company I work for, .dwg (or .dxf) is the required standard for final documentation to be archived in. As I work with Creo 2.0, the final "job" of manually converting all of my .drws to .dwg I...

Thenk you very much for your answers! :) It works now!!

dear forum members, I need a bit of help with this one as I can't find it in the tutorials anywhere. I'm self-taught with pro-e creo and am using parametric 2.0 the problem is, when I create swept blends, the sketches remain unhidden. They don't show only in 3d representations (which is...

I loved the comment on female engineers having a big head due to always being surrounded by men. :) I wish all you guy engineers could be a female engineer for ONE DAY and have to put up with dubious looks wondering "CAN she do it?". To the original question... Personally I am not married...

I wasn't sure where to post this question, this section ended up as the logical choice... ;) I'm sure we often encounter TV shows, interviews in the newspapers etc where "famous people" and "celebrities" are asked for their opinions on such and such, general things... Very often, subjects of...

Greg, I was more or less appealing to human reason and common sense, not to pure economical calculations. US is leading this enormous overconsumption trend (as graybeach addressed) which has very little to do with either (human reason OR common sense). If we are to do anything to help improve...

Oh yeah: 5. Make your own energy. Solar collectors to warm your water, a small wind-turbine, solar cells, whatever: it reduces your personal energy expenses,it's fun to own and maintain (well, we're engineers, aren't we?), and even if it's 500 W, it's 500 W less in oil and other polluting fuels.

I have a few suggestions that might work on a global scale: 1. Changing the policy of the automotive industry and it's customers, specially in the US, to return to optimal rather than jaw-dropping constructions (no you DON'T need a 12-cyllinder SUV wagon to go to a McDonald's drive through in...

Try reading "Revenge of the Gaia" or some other James Lovelock book. He has an attitute and isn't 100% objective (far from it), but he lays out some objective scientifically correct info.

Thank you all, I appreciate your help greatly!

Thank you very much, jackk, and for the word, too! I tried to define the colour of a single area in a part, however it didn't work - I am able to change colours for a whole part only... How do I change the colour of a certain area in a part?

Hello... I'm drawing up a pullup-bar for an exercise station machine, (22,5 mm thick, full steel bar) and am supposed to define a "rough" area on it for a tighter grip (you've all seen it on iron barbell bars, and many tools - wrenches, etc - I just don't know the proper term for this in...

I have another idea: my mother's a mechanical engineer. During a test drive of her latest construction, one of ~30 electric engines wasn't "pulling". After a 17-hour shift, she was done with reason, so she simply tugged at the belt a bit. The belt pulled her hand in, crushing her index finger...

Thank you very much for all your replies! The work log sounds like a great idea, I'll try it out! It should help me evaluate my work and advancement (or lack thereof) in a more objective way! Do you have any other valuable advice to give to a rookie? Or maybe a useful link? I'd be very...

As a woman engineer who's just starting out, I have to agree with the people who say that women stay away from engineering simply because there isn't enough information on what engineering is. That's why most mathematically inclined women end up studying physics, maths, or at least architecture...

Thank you for all your replies! I highly appreciate your opinions... it's true that I may be making a wrong estimate about my current job, I'm new and inexperient and that's why I posted here... "I'd highly recommend you get some experience at another company before you join your family's...

Hello all... I need a bit of serious advice from all you smart and experienced people out there... The matter is, I've grown unhappy with my current job. Let me give you a little background: I'm a rookie 1 year out of college. During college I worked - in and out - at my mother's firm (grain...
