Customer wants us to import our 3D model into a .dgn file for them to put into their layout.
Is this possible without purchasing any expensive software?
I've Googled myself dizzy and can't find a definitive answer.

We have fully pneumatically powered turntables that have safety flaps than stop motion if they contact a person or item.
Right now, they are a hinged steel flap, that is spring-loaded, and when compressed, it closes a pneumatic valve, which in turn shuts off the pneumatic motors.
Admittedly...
I'm not an automotive engineer, but am a car guy... I think it's hideous, and impractical. Those flat panels won't resist dents and dings at all. May also cause reflective glare to other vehicles. Is there and type of crumple zones? Front headroom is probably good. What about rear?

Spent way too much time fighting the "folder can not be renamed because it is in use..." message, before thinking to try to do it this way.

I found an old thread for this, but was wondering if anyone has had this problem more recently.
I've uninstalled and re-installed Draftsight to no avail.
I don't seem to be getting any response from Dassault Systems either.
Anyone else have this problem, and even better, has anyone found a...
In Pro-E, I made a bunch of UDFs (user-defined features) of shapes that contained axis, for dimensioning purposes. I have not found a way in Solidworks to do this.
Basically, I want to automatically have an axis at the center of the hex shaped hole, or the oblong slot.
Any tricks to this?
David...
Is it possible? In Pro-E, I just used shift or control, and highlight the ones I want, control-C and switch to my other assembly, control-V, then add my constraints. I can't do more than one item this way in Solidworks.

So, Everywhere I've worked, there has been a lot of effort in getting the design to purchasing/manufacturing. One place, we hand a guy a stack of drawings, and he figures out which parts are made, and which are purchased. (distinguished by the first two digits of the part number) Here, we...
Recently, I've been going thru mice. Mostly logitech, but have also gone thru a Microsoft. The middle mouse button has pretty much quit working on each of them. Are there any more robust, durable mice out there?
Seems they just don't make them like they used to.
I use the typical 3 buttons...

I've seen in the past where people had basically posted their resume, and portfolios on the internet. I searched some, but wondered if you have yours posted up, and if you wanted to post a link to it.

This has been beat to death, and I searched yet again without success.

I've got 2 cordless drills. They both have NiCad batteries that either won't take, or won't hold a charge.
One is a 9.6V that is about 6-7 years old. The other is a 12V that is only 2-3 years old.
I've read a few "tricks" to reviving them, but haven't tried any yet.
One involves discharging them...
I've got a top level assembly, which contains about 12 subassemblies. Each subassembly represents an assembly station, and contains the parts and subassemblies that get assembled at that station. (This may not be the best way of doing this, but the model was created this way long ago, and I've...
