    LCD swivel hinge...where to buy?

    I've been tasked to build a piece of equipment which there is a display that needs to act like a notebook/tablet PC where it can flip up and down while pivot 180deg. I went looking for where I can purchase these, but I can only find unknown companies mostly selling used hinges. I'm not sure...

    Selling PDM to a beancounter

    We have been at the point where we NEEDED PDM for a while. In fact I've been asking about it since I started 3 years ago (and actually brought it up in my interview). We have 3 other groups that use SWX independently and our group that brings it all together. We have all 4 managers on board, but...

    BOM causing crash

    We just switched to 2005 about a month ago and this issue started this week, so I'm not sure if this is related or not. I created an assembly drawing in 2004 and it had a BOM in it, everything was fine. I went to update the assembly, opened up the drawing in 2005 (SP 0.1) and it crashes. Thru...

    Rearranging the Model Tree

    Anyone out there know how to rearrange parts in the model tree? It was a nice handy feature that they seemed to have removed from IV6 On another note, how do people feel about 6? Personally I find they spent too mcuh time on extra 'nice to have' stuff instead of speed and stability Jeff

    Speeding up Tweeks?

    Anyone have a tip on how to speed up the first tweek of a presentation? I have an assembly with roughly 12000 parts and it took 4 1/2hrs to tweek the first part (I turned the visibility off of all parts and assemblies that I could). I did the next 12 tweeks in about an hour after. This appears...

    Constraints

    Is anyone else getting VERY annoyed by some of the constraint that inventor puts in without you knowing? Anyone know how to turn them off? PLEASE!!! I'm spending alot of time moving my mouse around so these constrains pick the proper line or removing some of the constaints I don't want. I'm...

    Angles in Inventor

    Anyone having issues with the angles in inventor? For example I have a track that must go around 4 points. I constrain them so you can fix one end and move it all over the screen and it acts like a chain but doens't twist. I brought one end back to the start and began to run it throughout...

    For you colour-blind people....

    Here's a great link for anyone who is colour blind and is having problems with a couple of the colours on the screen. http://hjem.get2net.dk/opad/ It's called colour scheme organizer and it has really helped me as I had a hard time with black & red and yellow & green. Now when I pick...

    What's in those computers using Inventor?

    I just want to see what the other Inventor users are using for their PC and what the files are like. I'm having frequent crashes and error messages like 'Out of Memory' and 'Serious Error- No more memory available-Attempt to allocate 4 regions of memory failed' I'm running an HP Vevtra with...

    Transparent & high heat

    I am looking for a material that is transparent and does not deflect @ temps below 150C. The piece only needs to be 200 x 100 x 15mm. Something with Lexan's strength and transparency and can withstand heat like ultem (and of course, the cheaper the better!). It can be slightly translucent...

    Clamping in different orientations in small spaces

    This is abit long winded, but I hope it is clear as I'm stuck! (sorry for the dual post in machines and machining eng) I am trying to come up with a way to clamp various sizes of metal in different orientations (top, bottom, right, left, front and back). What we want to do is take metal...

    Clamping in differnt orientations in tight spaces....

    This is abit long winded, but I hope it is clear as I'm stuck! I am trying to come up with a way to clamp various sizes of metal in different orientations (top, bottom, right, left, front and back). What we want to do is take metal pieces (of the same dimention), place as many in/on a tray...
