    probing and scanning question

    Yeah I've gotten a few quotes so far. It looks like it'll hover somewhere around 250k with the arm and scanner, Surphaser, and maybe a Mantis Vision's F5, plus training, plus yearly calibration, plus software. In the end i need mostly parametric models for piece parts and assemblies. But dumb...

    probing and scanning question

    I just deleted a long confusing question and explanation. So here's a slightly simpler one. also I'm not to sure what section i should have posts this on. So moderator feel free to move to the appropriate spot. Who here uses 3D scanning and probing equipment? What hardware do you use for...

    family table

    Ok yet another color question We have large family tables of hardware like I'm assuming most big companies do. so if i need a nut or bolt i have MS charts and pull a dash condition that fits my needs. My problem arises when i have different colors in the family table. Specifically wire lug...

    COLORED SPOOLS

    jstone that seems like the answer to the problem. The next task is getting it done. I work for the government DOD, and our system is managed by a "gate keeper". Because of this i may have problems saving the dtm file. But that should work. Thanks for the advise. Edited by: mmead1014

    COLORED SPOOLS

    Not to sure i understand what you mean? Do you mean in general is the color turned on? Or is there something in the cabling program that needs to be turned on? I believe everything is turned on, there is color in the assembly that I'm working on. It won't even let me chose individual wires in...

    COLORED SPOOLS

    Yeah it's added as a column and then changed to a specific color. after creating the spools i create a feature and choose a spool for it to pull off of, and rout that feature where ever it supposed to go. But they're all gray. Edited by: mmead1014

    COLORED SPOOLS

    I know this is probably a basic question but i'm just starting to dabble in cabling. Is there a way to set the color for each spool as they're created? *EDIT* a little more i don't have RSD I'm creating spools and adding a parameter to the spool saying that it's the color green, black...

    merging bom ballons

    the merge command doesn't work with standard balloons. It only works with quantity balloons. Walt, or anyone that knows this How do you create costume balloons like you were saying with a very small quantity number.

    merging bom ballons

    OK so my colleagues and i have been trying to figure this out for a while now. It seems like we can get halfway there but not all the way. The situation is a stacked set of hardware, washer, lock washer, screw. We want on leader going to the head of the screw and multiple balloons merged...

    Hidden Lines Config

    Yeah. I was wondering if there was a way to set the default line type setting for hidden lines to automatically show up as dashed lines. I work with a lot of mechanical drafting purists that voice their opinion about grey lines that should be dashed lines. I'm impartial either way, it's just...

    Printing Model Tree

    Is there any way to print out a fully expanded model tree? I can think of a few ways to manually take screen shots and paste them into word and print that out but it would be nicer to expand everything in the tree and just print that. Any ideas?

    PARTS LIST

    Is there a way i can move parts around in the parts list? I have a large assembly and unfortunately had to use simplified reps to create the views. Intern had to manually insert the BOM balloons. One of my part numbers changed, rearranging all of my find numbers. I'd like to be able to move...
