Other posibility is to add an anty roll-back bearing to a gear of the same diameter on the same axle, and position it such that the only thing it can do is rotate against the normal direction of rotation. If you install this interlocking against the other gear, the anti-roll back bearing will...
Try an adjustable rotational damper as is used in automatic closing firedoors etc. It utilises a fluid with shear-speed dependend viscosity, and allows you to set the friction-effect within certain limits. With slow speed, there's little friction, with high speed, there's a lot.

Copy the profile (oen it in Drawing) and paste it in a sketch in Part. Use the AutoConstraint-macro to remove all double lines and connect connected lines, measure the most important dimensions (and correct is wrong) and use the sketch the way you normally would. This has worked for me with...
Is it possible to save an assembly, consisting of different parts, as a single part consisting of one solid body with the same outline as the assembly? In Solid Edge this is possible. In this way you can create a welded part from different parts. In higher assemblies you can just load the welded...
Rust forms most of the time under influence of moisture. Wet, rusted steel can ben very 'slippery'under load, since the water is retained by the rust. Steel is liable to have condensation on the surface. I agree with CoryPad, try to test it!

As you are making Higway signs, I suppose you will have to install them on site. Why not use battery powered torque-wrenches (impulse type or direct torque, depending on wanting low or high accuracy of the torque) which you can use for fastening and which will stop or rattle at reaching the...
With the risc of misjudging:
SE doesn't make thread vissible, unless you model a helical protrusion or cutout with the thread-form. Since thread is highly standardised, and the tools common, the thread doesn't have to be detailled in a drawing, a simple indication of size and length is enough...
Welding and loctite will almost surely leave the loctite hamred, and thus you will end up with a welded coupling. So, when welding, skip the loctite.
I've used loctite for connecting gears to shafts, works fine if you do the calculations right, but bear in mind that in case of...

It's a bummer I'm not at a SE-console right now, but you can dimension a diameter with a broken dimention. It's an option in the Smart-dimension toolbar (the yellow dimension-thingy). It let's you place the dimension and select the break-off-point of the arrow. Try arrond, you'll bound to find...
Toolbars and backgrounds can be set by changing the template-files. Other customisations can be made to the various .txt-files such as holes.txt. You should backup these when you upgrade.

Why don't you use a spring-loaded device. You will have to 'recharge' it, but that can be done by hand. The storred energy is contained until use, and can be very powerfull. With it, you can drive a piston directly, giving you the power (pressure and volume) you need free to choose.

Hmm, plotting, you mean with pens on paper? I can imagine a plotter doesn't do bitmaps, since they are dots, not lines. You might want to convert your graphic in an vectorgraphic (wich gives you the problem back of inserting it into your drawing in the first place.. sorsy). Printing the BMP's on...
