    Sheet metal bend cost

    Hi guys, thanks for the help. I should mention that this will be produced in Asia. TheTick, honestly yes. I thought they would have a 20mm die on hand. I'm not a sheet metal expert but I figured they would have all sorts of dies. I will ask them what dies they have.

    Sheet metal bend cost

    Equipment elevator level platform

    Thank guys, yes it is similar to a Danly die set. Here is a picture of the concept. The top plate will be lifting the payload and the four shafts with linear bearings on the underside will guide the plate. This is the linear bearing I would like to use. So, all I want is level movement...

    Google Sketchup

    If you just want to present the files to others, why don't you use eDrawings? It's free, and they can rotate the design, take measurements, and explode the assemblies. Mac http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/

    Add revision to part files based on drawing revision (bulk)

    Thanks for the responses. Ok, so our database basically consists of drawings, and the corresponding part/assembly files. When we rev up a document, we only rev up the drawing since that is the file with the title block. The drawing files already have the custom property for revision filled...

    Add revision to part files based on drawing revision (bulk)

    Hi all, I am transferring many Solidworks files into our Workgroup PDM vault. We will be using the LifeCycle feature which will update the revision level of the document depending on what the status is (In Work, Released, etc.). Since I am checking in many documents that already have...
