    ID Symbol Stacking

    No. I think I saw where this will be available in a future release, but can't find that post. This has come up a number of time, so you may try searching for it.

    Sharing well constructed CAD models II

    Simon, Thanks for the tips and models. Never knew it would do this. Just goes to show what you can learn this software will do by getting outside of your usual methods and practices.

    Sharing well constructed CAD models II

    I like that one. Wish we had a studio license as I am guessing that's how the mirror effect was accomplished?

    Recommend Automotive ECU/Motion Control Suppliers?

    No. For angle sensors, we use a heavy duty product from some one else. For steering position, we use LVDT's that are mounted in the hydraulic cylinders that control the steering.

    Recommend Automotive ECU/Motion Control Suppliers?

    We use the iQan system by Parker. Analog and digital I/O with multple CAN channels for integration with radio remote controls. http://www.parker.com/portal/site/PARKER/menuitem.75b3c0354ff8851afa93ebde76108a0c/?vgnextoid=a87314e222b13110VgnVCM10000048021dacRCRD IFM Effector and Bosch offer...

    Regenerative hydraulic circuit

    Looking for circuit examples of regenerative hydraulic circuits involving single acting cylinders. Have multiple lift cylinders that need to dynamically level a platform and would like to route oil from collapsing cylinders to cylinders needing to extend.

    Excitation, Torque and Volts/Hz

    The motors will all be running at or near same load. This includes periods where maximum motor power is required. Between 15 and 20 400HP motors.

    Excitation, Torque and Volts/Hz

    How would you size a generator to run a bank of VFD's? Number of motors * motor FLA * Safety factor? This would be a continuous load as grid power will not be available.

    Adjacent Balloon Placement

    When adding leaderless circle type identification symbols, they will only line up with the original on a horizontal or vertical basis. This results in loose placement and they will not track with the base symbol's movement. Is there a way to make them "stick" together like with a coincident...

    Performance Reviews

    The announcement of upcoming performance reviews was accompanied by an announcement that all wages will be frozen for the year. I have a prediction: All employees will receive the best performance review ever in their time at this company.
