The Nikon thing looks fairly custom. Why not just develop your own custom...
Am I the only one that can't figure out how to stop cosmetic sketches (hatched areas, etc) from shining through the shaded model?
I tend to use hatched cosmetic sketches for defining KEEPIN and KEEPOUT areas, but can't stand when those sketches are visible on the "outside" of an assembly.
Any...
OK guys...I've now spent about 1 hour combing the web trying to find "pull out" performance data on plastite screws in ABS. STRIKE OUT! The only thing I can find is data on the Reminc site fora single size (#8) in 2 materials.
With the widespread use of these fasteners, I'm wondering if...
What problem are you having at higher freq. ranges? What compliance test are you trying to pass that makes a traditional faraday cage impossible?
My own experience with ~10 GHz clock signals has been that the only method that works is to take the heat out through copper llayers/thermal vias in...
HDS...good point about the industrial displays.
I know Sharp and NEC supply panels for "long life" industrial products. I'll check with them to see what they have to offer.

I work in the scientific/test and measurement world also.
Outsourcing has been disastrous both Offshore (Mindteck in India comes to mind) and in the US (Plexus technoogy group comes to mind). I've also seen it work very successfully.
The most important thing is to find a group of engineers...

Otherwise, you just go to a precision sheetmetal stamping house and have them make a custom die that meets your design. If...
Hi gang,
I'm working on the design of an electronic test and measurement instrument (oscilloscope) that has a large display on the front. A flat panel LCD (like laptop) is the most likely candidate for the display, but every manufacturer seems to have a different mounting scheme and connector...
Heckler,
Thanks. Does ultrasonic welding abrade a really polished visible surface like clear acrylic? I'm trying to bond a clear acrylic window to a base made of ABS (imagine a square box that youre trying to bond a clear window to the open side os.. The base is about 1.5 inches deep. Im not...
Anyone have any experience with any of the available adhesives for bonding acrylic (PMMA) to ABS? I know Dymax and some others make adhesives.
This is for a low cost consumer product. Both parts are in a a cosmetically sensitive area (visible to user of end product) so I don't want to be able...
My brief introduction to sharepoint made me conclude that it was fundamentally incompatible with PTCs current file scheme.Why?
Sharepoint does away with the concept of a changing file names to track revisions. It doesn't even really treat files as files...more like database entries.
PTC on the...
I'm struggling to REALY understand the implications of the config.pro option called "create_drawing_dims_only".
I've had 2 experienced ProE users give me conflicting instructions on what this means. One guy says this means that the dimensions are "static" in the 2D and won't adjust if the...
Kinsrow,
CoryPad is right on the money with his answer which could be translated as:
"Torque is torque (as long as you're along the same axis"
