Anyone know a good forum to ask a VB.Net question to?
If you're interested, this is my problem...
My old computer died. It was running XP and VB.Net2005. I have a new computer (Windows 7) and I could only find VB.Net2010 available for download and install.
My application migrated to 2010 fine...
We have some components for our machine that in the past have always been cast iron. We recently tried starting with a solid chunk of P20 steel, and machined everything. We are very plesed with the results, and the component life is at least double the cast version.
Since we start with a solid...
We currently use "Advance CAD" to open/edit drawings we receive from our sister company in Japan. But the interface does not port well to non-Japanese reading personnel.
We also have AutoCAD in-house (which most of us are proficient at) so we were wondering if anyone knew of any dependable...
If I have 2 views, each of a completely different machine but I want to align them both...how do I do this?
Basicalll I have 2 machines and I want to align both to the "floor", but the Horizontal/Vertical alignment choices are not giving me the result I am looking for.

Continuation of thread559-202450...
Handleman,
I finally had a (for lack of a better word) opportunity to delve into the InsertDistanceMate macro you wrote. One thing I've come across is that with AddMate3...even tho you specify AlignmentCLOSEST, the command does not obey that. I saw all of...
I am experienced with other 3D programs, but new to Inventor...here's a really simple question...I hope.
Start a new part.
Start a Sketch on one of the Origin planes.
Draw a Rectangle
Now for the difficult portion...Constrain that rectangle to be symmetric about the origin. I can't figure out...
I don't know if I've seen this mentioned before or not, but I stumbled on a pretty good way to have external thread show up in the drawing the way I'd like it, and still be parametric.
What I did was draw the component with the thread portion (drawn solid) drawn at the minor diameter. Then, as...
I am writing a macro using the PropertyManagerPage, and graphically selecting objects with the mouse works fine. What I'd like to do is populate a Selection Box with a specific feature by issuing a .Select from a portion of my code.
Currently...
If I have the PropertyManagerPage open I can...
I'd like to start a sketch on a face, type some text, then exit the sketch (setting the sketch as shown) and still see the text. Is this possible or is there another way?
Thanks,
Ken
When doing a Section View in a Drawing file, is there a way to turn off the hatch marks? Or maybe change the spacing between the lines in the hatch (i.e. I could make the spacing something huge like 1000mm, so there would be almost no hatch lines on any of my parts).
Thanks,
Ken
Does anyone know of any routines (Lisp, VB, other) that I could use to batch print and batch SaveAs TIFF of only the titleblock and anything within it's border?
I could probably handle writing something to do the printing, but I am unsure about the TIFF. I was thinking of possibly getting a...
I'd like to take the LayerIsolate lisp routine from the Express Tools and modify it. We use 4 layers for one component, we call them layer groups. So for the component 1, the 4 actual layers needed to show the part are: layer 1s is solid lines only, layer 1c is centerlines only, layer 1h is...
Newbie Question...I have an existing model. In the sketches there are a lot of Projected Geometry lines. Is there any what to tell which Edge, Feature, Plane, Axis, etc... the geometry is projected off of? Maybe a parent/Child relationship?
Currently I have been looking in the wireframe mode or...
I have been doing some testing of SW2007 here, getting ready to throw the switch. Everything looks good except the on screen display. My preview images are fine, but what I see in the graphics area is horrible. I looked at the SW website and found that my driver was actually newer than what SW...
I am in process of writing my first macro that will appear in the PropertyManagerPage section of SW. I've got the Propeerty Manager initialized and have a CONTROL Selection box there (similar to a VB listbox). Does anyone know how to tell what is contained in that selection box? I have been able...
I have been trying to find the ANSI standards for metric countersunk hole dimensions. The only place I've found on the Internet is:
http://www.a-sp.org/Standards/chapters/assembly/F1-23.pdf
The values there correspond to the results we've been seeing here...if the holes are machined according...
We are thinking of having an application run in the background to prompt User once their RAM has max'ed out and their computer is paging to the hard drive. Or maybe prompt them once 80% of the RAM is being used so they are aware and can start thinking about a good time to shut down SolidWorks...
