We have a gantry crane that rest on caster wheels, so that each of the legs supporting the gantry are free to slide in any direction, rather then run on a track. I've been ask to estimate a safe working load for the crane. We will proof test to this load to 125% before putting it into...
In thread321-181668 someone commented that they believed an engine room should be slightly pressurized.
I wondered everyones consensous is.
I've always believed engine rooms shoulg be slightly below 1 atm because a pressure differential greater then 1 ATM would:
raise engine room temps...
Does anyone know of tabels or methods to calculate the ejection force required to expell a part during demolding?
I'm concerned a very fragile part may fracture during demolding. But I'm not sure how to predict it short of extensive testing.
How much effort outside of work do you all dedicate toward training yourself to be better at your job? This means both time and money.
How much of that is paid for by your company vs out of your own pocket?
I know I haven't stopped learning, but I often wonder if my skills are falling behind...
Are there any treatments that are common to residential construction that can be done to reduce the transmission of sound through old hollow core interior doors?
I've sealed airgaps with no effect.
Normally I'd go buy a new door. But the finish wood in the house is all from the same period...
A fab shop questioned the surface finish callout on a drawing one of our other engineers sent them before vanishing into thin air. No body else is around so I tried to field the estimator questions. Where can I find examples of what different stainless finishes actually look like? What are...
I've got one node locked V18 full version and 2 V19 2d users that are just getting started. I'd like to move the symbol libary from my harddrive to a server so they can access it too. Will that screw up the way SE works? Is there a particular way it needs to be done?
Sort of a newby question, How do I do this in 2D and Sketches? I dont want to move the original, I want to create another one as a starting point for something similar on a different layer.
Someone please help,
Eric
On dry stack and dry portions of wet exhaust for inboard engines, what are the advantages /disadvantages of using hard lagging (fiberglass insulation or foam wound with frp tape)rather then sewn insulation blankets bound to the enxhaust pipe with safety wire?
Is one method better then the...
If I create an excel spread sheet and paste it (embedded) into a .dft file, then double click to enter the spread sheet, add a collumn and close it, the .dft file doesn't readjust to show the new collumn. I have to paste in a new one and delete the old.
Is there a way to get SE to understnad...
When I export a .dft file from V18 and open it in Acad 2000 one of two scenarios happens depending on if the export option "export to paper space" is checked. If it is, I get all the pages on my drawings and all dimensions and notes translated across into the correct layouts, but the views...
We don't have phyical space or budget for a fero Arm down in the bilge of the boats and I need to make parts that fit in there. Plus I have no idea how to model parts from point clouds without them looking like playdo.
I wondered about taking pictures in the primary views and sketching over...
I have a draft view that I want to show a sketch from the part in.
In the part the sketch curves are all colored white. They are attached to a part face that is black using the part painter
In the draft file I turned the sketch on in the view properties and made the view shaded trying to show...
Can this be done? Ctrl C/ Ctrl V between the draft file and sketch works on curves but doesn't seem to paste any text. It works fine going from the sketch to the draft file but not the other way around.
Also whats the lightest weight way of getting a graphic representing a silkscreened label...
We are very cautiously investigating a switch from 316ss to 304ss on less critical below waterline marine hardware applications where some corrosion could be tolerated over a 10-20 year service life. The applications would mainly be skegs and rudder blades fabricated by welding waterjet cut...
Autocad has a tool on it to track total time a drawing file is open, being modified and saved for automatic tracking of billable hours for contract firms.
It becomes a document property that can be printed on the drawing or collected in windows and outputed to databases.
It would be handy...
Is there any way to make it so Solid edge only highlights parts when you activate the quick pick or actually select them? The preselection function ruins the view of the part in pictures and makes it hard to see what I'm trying to select when its behind a very large component.
Thanks,
Eric
