    Remembering Names

    I was at a conference last week and realized that I have a very difficult time remembering names. Sometimes they are "in one ear and out the other"; I'll be having a conversation and realize I had forgotten their name already. Other times, I concentrate on their name, remember it for the...

    Printing Large Files

    Now that I have gotten everything to work, I'm trying to print my document 'o many points. It ends up sending a 200Mb file to the printer and takes around a half-hour to get done. Is there any way to print a "snapshot" or the equivalent? I have some co-workers angry that they don't have...

    "too many points" error - FFT

    I have a rather large (110K points) set of acceleration data that I must analyze in Mathcad Plus 6.0. I have managed everything up to plotting the FFT data in frequency domain. I can plot with a simple n=1..32768 for the x axis, but if I try to use the frequency data (n=.004,.008..128) for the...

    Round Function

    Is there no round functionality built in to Pro? We faked it with a ceil(d#-.51), but that seems a bit more cumbersome than round(d#). Am I missing something here?

    Assembly Density

    I received an assembly model from a vendor, and it appears they did not assign appropriate densities for the individual parts. I know what the mass of the assembly should be, but can't seem to modify the average density of the assembly to match using the setup dialog. Is there a way to set the...

    Showing Dimension Relations

    How does one modify a relation after it is created? Seems easy at first: tools->relations but the relations I have set up are not there. More specifically, I create a relation when in a dialog box (i.e. creating a plane, set the translation to param_1). It asks if I would like to create this...

    2d Sketches to 3d

    I have a set of 2d sketches that I want to make into a 3d representation for a layout sketch. The method that I used was to extrude the sketches as quilts and do a merge to create a new, closed quilt. Question 1: is there any way to create a solid from this quilt? I would like to carve...

    Floating Neutral

    Found some wiring that disturbs me and want to get the experts' opinion on it. System is a laundry facility, input power is 120/208 3-ph Wye. Washers/Dryers are 208V, 1-ph. The concerns are that the units are wired hot, hot, GROUND (as opposed to neutral) and the neutral and ground are not...

    Choosing a Camera

    I know this has been discussed in the past, but with all of the new cameras emerging I would like the experts' opinions on which camera to buy. I would like one that is radiometric for our applications of insultation evaluation and electrical connection audits. We are currently looking at the...

    Copper Wire Embrittlement

    I was wondering if anyone had experienced copper wire embrittlement. Working on a generator, I noticed that some of the wires (near a connection point) were stiff. In addition to this, the silver coated stranded copper wire had darkened (indicating silver oxide formation). I believe that this...

    Baker College MBA

    I am looking into Baker College (on-campus) for an MBA. Does anyone have any input/feedback on this program? Looking to make an informed decision. Thanks for any and all replies!

    Rounding Up

    Is there a way (conditional formatting perhaps?) to automatically round up an input decimal number to the next integer (i.e. 24.1 automatically becomes 25)? I know you can do this with the ROUNDUP function, but you would then have to hide the actual input cell. Just wondering if there was a...

    Generator Current Imbalance

    Hello from a newbie! I have a question for all of you experts out there. I have a generator application where the customer is specifying both the genset and the equipment. I believe that they have a recipe for disaster with their three phase generator and high, inconsistant single phase...
