In an assembly is there a way to make a selection of parts and/or subassembies and turn on/off all their user work planes, axis, points for just those?
I'm finding it time consuming to toggle all work features on and then going into each part and turning off what I don't need. When I toggle...
I have a cylindrical housing with a 2" wide mounting flange around the perimeter. There is a part that needs to mate to the outside of this with a similar flange. I have the punched hole pattern in the first housing flange and I would like to know if there are any tricks to projecting the...
I work in a group of three engineers in our company. Is it worth the effort to set up the Vault management system for a group so small? I like the ability to maintain all the links while working with checked out files on a local drive but am intimidated by the effort to set up and maintain the...
Simple example to explain my question:
An assembly with two identical cubes spaced apart a given distance x from their nearest faces.
How would you create an assembly work plane that is always x/2 from each object (always in the middle of the two). I know you can constrain a work plane to a...
Steering wheel dimension entry is not working in ST3. Does not work in any environment (part, assembly...). I can pick the face or parts, reposition the wheel, change the axis but I can enter a fixed value for the move or rotation. Any suggestions.

I have a sheet metal panel with a round tube passing through it at an angle of 20 degrees from normal. I want to make a cut through the panel to allow this passage. The hole would be manufactured with a Laser cutting machine and has to cut normal to the panel. Is there a command that will...

Is there a way to create a mate constraint with a "floating" offset? I want to make one face parallel with another but I want to be able to drag them afterward.
I have a simple sheet metal panel with one bend. I need a left and right style of this part so I've drawn one side with bend and then save a copy for the other side. I would like to flip the bend direction so it projects down instead of up but when I try to grab the bend and rotate 180 degrees...

What are others doing to remove large numbers of parts from the outside shuttle table? Are all parts double tabbed? How is sheet picked off the table while keeping hold of parts? I find my operator spends more time removing parts from finger table than I like.
We do...
Hello,
New to this forum. We have Amada 4020NT and regularly cut 1/2" material with this machine. I'm having trouble with a sheet 72"x144". Clean sides but thin dross bead on bottom. I think my problem is bottom surface quality but I was hoping for suggestions.
Current settings: 7" lens...
Is there a feature of SE to detect parts removed from a design that still exist in the folder system? Sometimes I try several part designs before I'm happy with one and I would like to cast out the rejects.
BTW what do other of you do when composing a design? Do you find you create many parts...
I want to position a part in a sub assembly relative to a part in a higher assembly. I use adjustable assembly to move the part into position. Now I want to go back to the sub to add other parts but I have to redefine the sub as a rigid assembly. How can I edit the sub with the parts in the...

Example:
Two assemblies. Parts in 2nd assembly relate to both each other and offset from faces in first assembly.

Every time I try to set mate relationship of part in 2nd assembly to face in 1st assembly I get a relationship conflict error. I'm in the top level assembly while doing...
Does anybody know if its possible to move a home license from one computer to another before the license expires (6 months)? I have a new computer and would like to move it.

Does anyone have a macro/addin VBA for splitting sketch lines/arcs into even length segments? Or is there a way to do this already? The split function is not best solution when splitting elements into 20-30 parts.

I have a sheet metal cover panel that is constructed as a lofted flange. It has several square to round transitions. I flatten the part with the triangulation option turned on to create the bend centerlines. In draft I would like to know what the bend angle is on the center lines that it...
