    Hello all, I've been asked to fi

    Hello all, I've been asked to find out two things regarding the screen shot below. This is the sketch of a revolved protrusion for a bearing model that was downloaded. I don't know the source. 1. How can the sketch be fully constrained without any dimensions? There is no sketch being used for...

    What does pulse type value affect?

    Thank you Laserninja. So far what I've heard from Amada is that it is indeed related to the A/O. What no one could tell me, until you answered, was what happens if we change the value. We do have the pneumatic A/O. I'm not the operator and have limited knowledge so when I say the value tends to...

    What does pulse type value affect?

    A general search in this forum for "pulse type" did not yield any answers and a review of the first 12 pages of threads did not either. We have an Amada FO3015 with a 160i-L control. In the cut conditions under both cutting and piercing there is a column for "pulse type". We are interested in...

    Please help identify a part

    Please help identify a part

    Thanks for the links! Those are parts I haven't seen in my travels. Unfortunately, while close they're just not right. I've put together a screenshot of the part installed in a bracket. As you'll see, the legs of the clip secure it and the set screw simply gets tightened onto the cable. Does...

    Please help identify a part

    telecomguy, The thread appears to be an M8 x 0.75. As far as other information the only dimension that I figure is relevant is that the max cable diameter this clip could hold is 10mm. Thanks again. Jason

    Please help identify a part

    Hello everyone. I'm at my wit's end trying to identify a source for what I'm calling a strain relief clip. See the attached photo. The part is used to bundle wires in our current application. It is secured by inserting the legs into slots on a sheet metal frame and then the screw tightens down...

    Yes, you can do this. Right-click on the drawing view you would like to display the plane in. Then right click on the solid body/part that contains the plane and select "list reference planes". Select the plane you wish to show and tick the show box. I believe you have to update th eview, but it...

    How to get file properties from a part to populate a draft document?

    Todd, I've put together a little PDF that has the steps involved in placing "property text" within a draft. You can also find help in the Solid Edge help guide. Jasonhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b2d5cace-b7b9-439b-9be2-1d53580cd618&file=Property_text_help.pdf

    Creating "NEW" fill type

    av8errr, I started playing around with trying to do this yesterday and ran into the same problem you did. Create the new fill/hatch, save, apply, and then no-go in the draft. A little more effort today finally yielded positive results. For me, it was a matter of using the organizer function from...

    Frame design tutorial
