Can anyone comment on the difference between the machinability of A572 versus A36. We are currently turning a part made of A36, the machine shop is finding that it is excessively gummy to the point where they have to replace inserts. A572 is similar in price and meets the yield strength...

Found some at Frys steel, thanks. Any idea what 1144 would be used for?

So I've contact every metal supplier within 200 miles, no one carries 4140 that small. The best material suggested would be 1144, upon reading up on it it seems that it may be to be brittle.

EdStainless, I was more concerned with the end of the male threads binding into the start of the female threads at the bottom of the stud.

Thanks for the help, what are grade 5 bolts typically made of? The second question I had was that the studs do not bottom out, as the hole is thru. I was concern with tightening the stud until the threads run out or bind into the hole threads. I've seen some circumstances where a shoulder is...

Sorry about the basic question, but we have ran into situation for a particular project were we need to turn a custom stud. The stud will be 5/16" in diameter and will need to be torqued to 18 ftlbs. The threads will be cut to M8x1.25x15mm on either side. The total lenght of the stud is...

How does everyone texture a plastic part in SW07? We have started to create quite a lot of plastic injection parts and I have no idea how to texture the particular surface other than change the visible appearance. Perhaps I answered my own question as a texture most likely would not be able to...

The want the file in either a dxf or dwg, which I was always under the assumption that these types are 2D only.

I have a 3D sketch that I used to make a sweep of tubing that I need bent. Problem is that the tube bender uses autocad and will need the 3D data to make the bends. Good thing is that none of the sketches are splines, so I'm hoping that it won't be to hard to reproduce. Problem is though how...

Can you "Fly through" a part in solidworks? For example a pipe or anyother hollow object.

Sorry, ctopher yes I did. These were already in place.

The file is not on a networked drive, it exists in "My Documents". A good example of this is that I will get either a .sldprt or .x_t file via email. Double click to open and pop theres the error. If I click on it again no problems.

CorBlimeyLimey, my problem is identical as what you have explained but I have a certified graphics card and certified driver. Try this, click on a SW file, OK the error, then click on it again and it will open.

The subject line maybe a little confusing, but I run into an error every time I try to load a file by double clicking on it say in Windows Explorer or an folder for that matter. If I open the file through solidworks I don't have a problem (File -> Open). As well if solidworks is already loaded...

I've recently used SP2.0 and have notice a decrease in the file sizes. SBaugh are you saying the with SPR341510 I may see an even greater decrease in file size?

Just curious if it is even possible to view a drawing without having the part file. I've noticed that I can preview the drawing without the part file, but once I load the file solidworks requests the part file.

The file that I noted had two different configurations.

We recently upgraded to SW2007 from the 2005 version and I've notice that the file sizes are larger. For example I'll open a SW2005 part and save it in SW2007 and the file will be larger.

Can anyone tell me the difference between these to material? I've used matweb and they both seem very similar. We used A36 for our prototypes but since then the supply house only carries C1018.

Basically then the battery really only provids the extra power when needed. So then the alternator would provide the majority of the power to the auto's electrical system and to charge the battery.
