Hello John,

You'll use 'Split part', it uses surfaces or planes.

Under 'Help', use 'split' for the search then select the Title: Split and Save Bodies.

You can use a line, you'll have to use...

Cosmos works just as good as Ansys.

Sh!t In Sh!t out for bad data.


An H beam is normally used for vertical supports, I beams for horizontal loads.

Maybe try Crescent Industries down in New Freedom, Pa.

I don't know if they are hiring, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I stand corrected.

But if The 'DOC' has the big bucks to spend on Solidworks, Camworks, Rapidform, Mathlab, etc., why not buy Floworks for Solidworks?
He could do the CDF for himself, change Surfaces at will, Camworks...

adverb.


Plus, I'm not sure if that rule applies to Canadians.:)


TM

Centroid has machines designed for that purpose.

They can add any feature you wish too, a Just DO IT button or a Can't rip me off button and the special I R Smart button.

It means his setup planes are as dynamic as his BS.

He might have one of those rotating, articulating, knee-jerking, muffler bearing fixtures for doing 6 3/4 axis work.


I was reading some of...

I say the 'Doc' is Jon Banquer.

No one is more self motavatied with delusions of grandeur than he is.

The Parrot talk gave it away this time, along with the 'Whole bunch of DIP switchs"
...

Check the email you use for CNC Zone.

Most of the Doc's orginal posts are there.


TM

You might be clicking the 3d sketch tool.
Click the ellipse tool first, you'll get a warning about not selecting a plane, then click on the plane or planar surface you wish to use.

Simple rule:

*** This is for prototyping, not mass production***

Treat it like 304 Stainless Steel, DO NOT cut dry, avoid slow feedrates.

Tapping holes isn't fun.

There was a post on CNC...

ahhh...I'll have to look.

Then I wouldn't supply him with the Solidworks file or any native format file.
If any size was cut out of tolerance he'd simply change it in the file.

Before any...

Right.

I haven't wasted this much time on one thread for a long time.


I agree about machinists, as a group, we do not brag about our skills or accomlishments.
And when a new guy comes...

And now you are the nice guy just trying to get along huh?



No attack, just some facts.

I might be left brained, but I try to be right minded.


TM

I don't think it goes any farther than looking at what is in it for H_pHD or what's going into -his- pocket.

Reread the posts, what I read was (I'm paraphrasing) 'I can do it cheaper' 'I can do...

But, I'll still fix your glasses for free. :)

Sign in many shops I've visited:

You can have your job fast.
You can have your job cheap.
You can have your job good.

Well, it's back on topic now.

No, I do prototyping and I would never give a client my TechDatabase.
But it's easy to copy, go to camworks.com, download the default database,
add a couple of long...

So, you consider yourself an expert because you used a demo of Camworks?
Oh, you read the sales brochures and talked to a guy who told you he was an expert?

Are you related to Jon Banquer by...

No attack, just my opinion.
if it hits home just a little, I can see why you would say it's an attack.


The rent a car, get a taxi analogy:

I don't think the Director really cares what a machinist thinks, only what he can be used for, like most in his book of contacts.

After reading his other posts, I'm apt to believe he's the kind of...

LOL!

I didn't see it either!

Are you using an older version?
I think you simply open the part template file, rename the top to anything, rename the front view to top and then rename the old top to front.

If you do a search...

I agree, although I'm guilty of creating real threads just to see how they interact within an assembly.

In this case, the id would be the minor diameter of the thread and I would use INSERT |...

LOL!

I've read the posts a few times and was wondering what the advantage would be for the shop if they choose to venture into this whimsical endeavor?

And the question was asked about needing the...

You are right, too much sketch.

Use the arc segment as a sweep path and on the 3rd plane sketch a rectangle to use as a cutting tool.

Or, create or use a plane thru the center of the long axis,...

I'm using the XP version of both. No real problems yet.
The only goofy thing was during simulation, the XYZ icon would flip flop the XY direction when you clicked the turbo button.

Bad economy or not, you still will only get what you pay for.
