hello all, I have had a look through the FAQ - but cannot find what I am looking for. Does anyone know how to add in standard parts into toolbox? In this case i want to add in a round bar into the toolbox - so i can use this in an assembly rather than making up seperate parts. thanks in...

hello all, How do you get a wheel to run along a profile - in this instance a vertical profile which then starts to curve. In the assembly I can only mate the wheel to the profile of the straight or curve section. How do i mate the wheel so that it follow the full profile path and not just...

how do you rename as .wmf after saving as a jpeg? callum

Arlin, Tried it again....worked a treat - thanks! I have rewarded you with a star :O) Callum

Arlin, That would be great if you could upload an example for me to see - much appricated. Unfortunetly I have basic knowledge of the equation maker - still learning! Callum

surely there is a way to linear patern a component, at a preset distance apart(in this case 1 inch), up to a surface(i.e. inside the box frame)? callum

Thanks for the reply. hmmm - i have tried driving this change via an equation to change the number of linear patterns depending on the length of shs....sadly I cant get this work. Basically I want the number of linear patterns to change with regards to length of top shs. I.E. the narrower the...

hello, Is there an easy way to make a block, Specifically several surfaces into the one solid block? thanks, Callum

hello, I have built an assembly of guarding using box section and inch mesh(horizontal & vertical bars). I have created an equation in the assembly between the top length of SHS and horizontal bar of the inch mesh so when I change the length of the SHS the bar length changes accordingly. The...

manage to track down an E Drawings file of the interlock....just need to change it into a solidworks part....anyone know how? http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=119727&page=1 thanks, Callum

Can anyone suggest a way of changing a ".edrw" to a ".slprt"? http://www.btinternet.com/~smithgowanbank/TLS-GD2-3D.edrw I want to change the above file into a Solidworks part - is there an easy way? thanks, Callum

looks like im going to model it then.....just thought there would be an easier way ;o) callum

Sorry, link above does not work. picture of the interlock below: http://www.ejaltd.com/ftp/installation_pdfs/AB_IS_TLSGD2_27961_5.pdf Spec and dimensions above! - anyone got this drawn up? thanks, Callum

Hi all, Does anyone have a SW model of an interlock with tongue? Specifically looking at a Allen Bradley guardmaster interlock TLS GD2. http://www.ejaltd.com/programming/products/shw-product-detail.asp?pid=54&cpage= Just thought id ask - before i go building it! thanks in advance, Callum

hi all, My mate is having problems with an assembly. He has built an assembly of parts and used the toolbox of sections to create the full model/structure. He has recently upgarde his pc ( new pc) but when he opens the assembly in the new pc all the sections get re-configured to the last used...
