Yep, that would work. Thanks again for all the inputs. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pausch

Hmm, I see what you're saying. Sounds like work. Too bad I wouldn't be able to selectively section, like showing turbine blades within a cut housing. Thanks for the idea. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can...

Hello, I've seen many parts in the past sectioned like the one uploaded, but I can't seem to get Section View to do that. When it takes out both planes I'm left with a quarter of the part, not 3/4 like I simulated. What am I not doing right? Thanks! Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc...

Hello, I'm trying to create a label that will wrap around a drafted plastic part, uploaded, and realized it's not just the perimeters of the ends and straight lines connecting them. Is there a way to obtain the flat pattern that would result from unfolding the outer faces? Thanks! Mechanical...

You've got a point there. I checked the tested drivers and they don't list any of the GeForce ones from NVIDIA. That would probably be the issue. Thanks for opening that up on your end. I will try the version of eDrawings I have at work which uses a different graphics card and see what...

Here goes... Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pauschhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=8a496654-09b8-488e-8d72-16bfc894ea97&file=16-1002_Rev_-_Bar_Tip.SLDDRW

They open up just fine in SW, no weird dims or text. And I just opened up one of my own that I had made a while back, see upload, and it gets messed up too. My concern is would others get the same when I send them an slddrw to open on their eDrawings viewer?? Thanks. Mechanical Engineer...

No, just the ones I get from them. I can work around it, just annoying. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pausch

It was saved as an slddrw and I opened it up with eDrawings like usual. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pausch

Hello, I just finished installing SW2011 SP3 on my iMac at home and running it through Parallels 6 so I can work away from the office. I can't seem to get the Mighty Mouse to rotate parts or assemblies when I click and drag as I can on my Windows PC at work. The ball works great for zooming...

Hello, I received an eDrawing recently from a design house and when I opened it all the dimensions had this weird 'overline' on them, see uploaded tiff. Any idea what's causing that? I'm running 2011 SP4. Thanks! Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect...

Ok, I'll buy that. Thanks for the inputs. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pausch

Hello, I received the attached view from an outside source and can't figure out what they want with a P.F. counterbore. I know I'll kick myself when I get an answer. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks!! Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect...

Thanks for the link, that's what I needed. Cheers.. Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. - Randy Pausch

Wow, that's a new one on me. Can someone give me an example of a non-grounding mate? How is that different from a fully defined mate? I don't get it :( Mechanical Engineer Field Forensics, Inc. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited...
