    photoworks decal

    yes thank you. I didn't do that once and it caused a mess. But to view the decal you need to go to VIEW DECAL and turn it on just as if you were viewing a sketch or plane. I was hoping there was a default to keep it on all the time no matter who was uploading it so they wouldn't have to know...

    Solidworks toolbox problem

I heard our technical writing group discussing the need for abbrevs as well but they write for an international base.

    Plug Seal interference

    Thanks for your help. The plug is tapered and was subjectivly tight with manual insertion. We went ahead and used standard FN1 interference tolerances on the plug (the hole was set because of method of manufacture) thanks for all your assistance.

    Plug Seal interference

    Correct. This plug seal is in a pump-spray bottle assmebly. It is how the pump-spray is sealed into the glass container. However our interference is too great and puts too much pressure on the assembly as we secure the pump-spray into the bottle. I want to reduce the interference but I want to...

    auto injection manifold in solidworks

    Two reasons: to get better at SW as I believe that there will be some excellent problems to work out and I have been asked to learn about engine component documentation/design for a possible future requirement for consulting, starting with the intake manifold.

    auto injection manifold in solidworks

    I'm looking for a Solidworks file of an injection manifold so I can study and practice. It would be helpful if it is a pre-85 small block as I can look at one of those but any file would help. thanks

    I have just received an assignment (due in just a couple of days) to create a new bottle design with an indication of drapery in the bottle. I am just barely learning sweeps and have not used the free forming tools. The bottle design is not a problem, I will be creating a standard oval bottle...
