Whats your practice in writing dates on the Engineering drawings.
I design & create drawings.
In general, I work on a design for 3 months & then create drawings.
What should the Drawn Date & Design Date recorded on the title block of the drawing.

Hi,
I read about creating water mark on the drawings and successfully created a water mark. For this I edited the sheet format and placed an annotation text. I notice that the light colored water mark is actually opaque & blocking (overlapping)the visibility of views/dims in their location.

When I type a string in the filter, only feature manager tree gets filtered showing only items meeting the string criteria.
But the graphic shows all the parts. I want it to filter too.

I am quite sure. But want to hear if its right.
I have an assembly and want to create 2 exploded views. I think its not possible to create more than 1 exploded view per configuration.
I think I need to create a Derived cfg to have the 2nd exploded view.
Any other possible ways?
Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to balloon a drawing view for small sub assembly. For one of the parts, I am expecting SW to call out as 2, instead it calls out as *.
How can I fix this.

Hi,
In our assembly section, we use electric nut/screw drivers. Because, they are magnetic, the fasteners are captive in the tool and makes it easier with lesser handling.
Now, I am looking for ideas on similar lines to drive a stainless steel fasteners. Are there any ways to reduce the...
Hello,
Is it possible to thicken (or offset or a variable fillet) a surface to generate a varing thickness.
For example, Generate a wedge shape off of a rectangular surface.
I referred to a simple example here, but i am trying to do this on a wavy irregular shaped surface.
Thanks

I created a new Coordinate system. This is oriented with a compound angle with the origin.
How can I have a new 3D sketch drawn with respect to the new Coordinate system.

Have a part with few bodies (Box, Lid & Screws). Created 3 Display States Lid, Housing and assembled. When creating drawing, I have trouble using these display states.
In a drawing, I create 2 sets of front, top & side views. One set for Box & another for Lid. I dont...
Hi,
When we delete feature & recreate it, the dimensions in the drawing will become dangle (dangling dimension)
I know its very easy to reattch it to new edges. Just select the dim, click & drag the red dots to new edges. This fixes it. Good.
But this doesn't work on diameter & radius...
I have a master part file with surfaces (cutting & reference) that I can use to split the solid to form multiple solids.
I right click the solids folder to choose save bodies. I choose a location to save.
My question :
When I open the automatically created part file, I want to have all the...
Is there a separate setting to activate the zoom & pan options on the print dialog. I find this very useful for me.
Does any one know how to bring these buttons to work?
Thanks in advance.

I am in using Photo view 360 first time :)
I notice that when I apply environments or appearances on the file, PV dynamically updates the view. THis is good if it was faster. Its very slow. IS there a way to turn dynamic update off?
I would update once after adjusting many values.

I have drafted rectangular surface representing a light spectrum. The light source is about 25ft above floor. The display of this surface will cut off when I use mouse to view.
I forgot the command that can alter this z-clip of the display.
Does any one recollect? I tried help but in vain.
