I'm not sure a RPM would apply here. So the user will push on a UI screen, which will make the small screen pop out at an angle. After the user inputs some info, the user we'll be able to push back on the screen, and a locking mechanism will lock it down parallel to the rest of the panel. So...

Thank you for everyone's reply. I'm still stuck as to what numbers to place where, I suck at this.

I'm trying to create a mating gear from a supplier. Here's the information the supplier has on it's gear: Tooth Involute gearing P.C.D. 0.35 in No. of teeth 11 Module 0.8 The actual part is from ACE Controls, p/n FRT-C2-301-G1 (just in case anyone needs it). The distances between center to...

Ok, here's the situation at work. We've been using Solidworks PDM for a number of years now. But just this year, we started having issues with the two errors mentioned on the title of this thread. On top of that, when checking out a assembly model or drawing, it's not checking out the...

Thanks! That's got it!

I have made a Design library on the network so that all users could have access to the forming tools. But I get a "Are you trying to make a derived part?" when I drop a tool on to a sheetmetal part. When I move the forming tool to my C: drive, it works like normal. Am I supposed to set up SW...

Nope those didn't work rfus. CommandManager is on, just it doesn't appear. And when I turn it off, all the individual toolbars pop up.

Nope dosen't work either. It's the same thing if I did the way I explained first...

Ok, some how I managed to hide the command manager and I can't bring it back up. No the options>customize>enable commandmanager wont work. If you make a toolbar float, and you right click on it there's two options, move or hide. I must of hit the hide one and now I can't find it anywhere...

I've done some lighting modifications & material modifications. This is what I came up with. http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/5177/er36gim9.jpg

Thanks for the replies. I'm currently using SW 06. This is what I've done so far. I'm still not very happy with it. I need to make the stainless steel, appear more like the real thing. I'd like to add more light, but with out blowing some of the highlights. I'll take a look at the site you...

Ok, I am doing a rendering, and I am using stainless steel as the material. But it's just not coming out the way real stainless steel comes out. I'd like to get it as close as possible. Anyone have good techniques, or selection of another material?

Got my Space Pilot for my left hand, my Logitech MX Revolution on my right. Can't function with out either of them!

It’s nice that SW adds features like bend notes. But what I don’t like is that you don’t have the control for what information to appears in the note. For example if you don’t need the bend radius to be called out, there is no way of getting rid of it unless you double click on the note and...

Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to check out the other tutorials. So far I'm kinda of getting the hang of it. Here's my first part right after the sheetmetal tutorial...
