it was just an example. That is why I am asking.

Just curious as to what practices you abide to when renaming CAD Models Property Descriptions such as "Fasteners" from McMaster-Carr? Example: 92196A031 (McMaster-Carr P/N) (McMaster-Carr Description) 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Screw 4-40 Thread Size, 1" Long, Fully Threaded We would...

drawoh. It will be manufactured from the 3D Model.

I work in the aerospace and defense industry and wonder if there's a standard and/or examples when creating a 3D Printed part drawing? Standard Notes? Do you show Dimensions or make them a reference? Thank you. -Art

I have been tasked to create a FIT CHECK Fixture for a 3D Sketched Pipe (similar to the attached pic). What I did was create a circular sweep along the 3D Sketch path, but they are in need of a U-Channel groove. When I try this, the U-Channel rotates when following the path. I need the path to...

Scenario: We use one standard Drawing Template for Parts and Assemblies. Surface Finish shows in our Title Block. Does this imply a Surface Finish of 125 for all components on an Assy Drawing? I think not, but the Customer thinks otherwise :/ Is there a standard that specifies the placement...

I used SolidWorks Rx which gave me the message to update my NVIDIA Driver via a link. How does one disable the NVIDIA Desktop Manager? Thanks.

I just updated my NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Driver for my Windows 7 Dell T5600 Workstation and now when I move a window it goes transparent. It wasn't like this prior to the Driver update. Any ideas? Thanks!

SW: 2014. I don’t recall what to tweak in the “calloutformat.txt” file to show THRU instead of THRU ALL. Also, is there any way to show Decimals in place of fractions for Hole Callouts? (Military Specs call for it)...

What is the proper format for calling out a "Rockwell Hardness" on a drawing. I've seen this on our prints: Rc 60

I was asked to reverse engineer an old drawing for a Linear Shaped Charge (fractures jet canopies). In order to accomplish this, I created a 3D Sketch (using XYZ data). Along this 3D Sketch I added multiple Sketch Planes for the profiles (some circles, some odd shaped - the odd shapes will have...

CAD ADMINISTRATORS How do you validate your company's CAD models. (Validate = e.g. fully constrained sketches, no mating errors, etc). I can't imagine you open every file (unless you work for a small company). Sometimes this question comes up in audits. Thank you.

First of all I am a beginner with GD&T....so forgive me if I am totally off. Do all BASIC Dim's emanate from Datum Features? Or can they originate from features that are not datum features? Thanks...

Hey Guys. Looking to create my 1st training class here @ work for beginners. Just wondering for those that have gone this route, what topics do you cover? I am thinking of the following: SETUP of Drawing, Part and Assy templates PDMworks SETUP / Checking out and in of files Sketching...
