    Generating good STL files

    Hello all, I am doing quite a lot of work with .stl files recently. I basically am taking an original model and building some basic shapes off of it. Each of these shapes has slightly different requirements but always end up becoming an .stl. The software people then use these .stl files to run...

    Boundry Blend to Tangent Surface? Can it be done?

    I figured that this was a tricky bit of modeling. I will keep playing around with it, and if I figure something out I will let you all know. josh

    Boundry Blend to Tangent Surface? Can it be done?

    This is a picture of the surfaces before I connect them.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=263ca605-c167-4d18-b45c-826711de2c85&file=TangentBoundryBlend_02.jpg

    Boundry Blend to Tangent Surface? Can it be done?

    Hello all, I have a surfacing question for you all. I have two surfaces which I want to connect in order to make a solid body. These surfaces are created by a sweep and an offset. I can connect them with a boundary blend without too much trouble. However, I would be happier if I could connect...

    Creating Custom Hole

    Hello All, Once again I am trying to do something a little ambitious. We use a CMM to measure how accurately we can install some parts. To do this we create a conical divot in the part and then place a 3mm sphere stylus inside the cone. Here is a link to what the stylus looks like...

    ProE Sketch Reference Image

    Hello All, Once again I want to do something in ProE the way I know how to do it in SolidWorks. Usually, my problem is that ProE has an equally good, but different method to get the same result. I am making models of the human femur bone and I would like to use an image as a reference for my...

    Changing import coordinate systems

    Hello, I am importing several .iges files. I need to export several .stl files based on this file. The orientation of the coordinate system is critical. Ideally, I would like to redefine the original import. The location is correct, but the directions are not. (i.e. x should be y) Is these...

    GD&T Certification Classes / Books / Whatever

    I also thought that a one day seminar would not give us a lot of information. My hope was to get the ball rolling. We don't use GD&T at all right now, but we are about to release our first production system this year. I can only imagine that this topic will become more and more important. I...

    GD&T Certification Classes / Books / Whatever

    Thank you for the advice. I would actually like to get the official certification. I realize its a lot of work, but my impression is that most other people realize how hard it is too. This should should help when raise time comes around, or when I am looking for a better job. My work designs...

    GD&T Certification Classes / Books / Whatever

    Hello all, Sorry if this has been answered, but I only saw posts from several years ago about it. I am fresh out of graduate school and started my new job. I mentioned to my boss that I was interested in learning more about GD&T and would be willing to investigate getting certified. I figure...

    Automating ProE

    Hello, I am working on several hundred models for various medical implants. We need to export 3-4 different .stl files for each part. One of the whole part, and various others with features suppressed. The models are fairly similar and I was curious if it would be possible to program a macro or...
