    headphone to telephone adaptor

    Ok, so I tried the simple route. I cut apart a cheap Y-spliter for headphones and wired the female jacks to a RJ-11 jack. I unplug the handset (receiver) and it's plug is smaller than an RJ-11 but the clip geometry is the same and the pins line up. So after a bit of trial and error I figured out...

    Section Curve color

    Hello, I'm using the Section Curve function to cut sections thru a number of bodies in an assembly. I like for the resulting curves to be the same color as the body it is a section of. Is there some setting the I can't seem to find or tip to do this? I could write a GRIP program to cycle thru...
