without knowing what the parts may look like it is hard to say if CNC is needed. I would look into an old Eaton Leonard or the likes. They are pretty sophisticated with their electronic detents to...
I'm with lurker. I just save as dxf right from your model. I'm not sure why you don't see it in save as.
you need CAM software. look at mach 3 for a good starter, they have a trial download I think.
yup
In my lack of weldments experience I have struggled to make prints for a part that is not on an original plane. Now I use planes and 2D to keep it simple. I hole heartedly agree that a 3D sketch is...
Youtube offers many tutorials on weldments. I use youtube to refresh my memory on things I have not used in a while. Search Solidworks weldments and also Planes but not at the same time. As Jerry...
Yes the numbers are just text and they come out boxed. I just had two different sketches and used font and spaces between the numbers to make them land near the tic marks. You could very well use one...

Using wrap on your cylinder would be an easy route. I didn't think about needing numbers. In this test (if it shows up and is an...
I think I would draw the cylindrical part of the dial on the top plane and extrude the part in both directions to achieve the location of your degree marks on the cylinder. Then model your marks by...
FYI
After using the indent feature I changed the some dimensions on the knob and the negative changed with it.
I found a youtube video explaining it. Your correct that is much easier, But in 2010 it is using the combine feature and subtracting the material from one part from the other.
Type "how to boolean...
You'll have to explain more burrman. I only do it this way because I don't no any better. It sounds like using a boolean cut would be easier but I have never used it in SW. Please continue!

This will most likely cause you more problems due to all the weird trimming that you have to do. Your part looks simple and if it won't be going into some detailed assembly it will work
Start out...
I'm new to solidworks as well. I use darebee's method and works for me. I will try fabconv method just to see how that works out. I have found that there are many ways to do the same operation. I...
didn"t think of that now I know which is which, but still need to check the scale.
Thank you Sir
Travis
I only see the parts on my end no dims or thickness
Lets see if the scale is correct
The large part is 6.525 X 2.349 measuring linear across the part
Thank you
Travis
I walked in the back door of my current job and asked if they had a broom to push and if they were willing to pay me to do it. Two weeks later I finally got the chance to show them that I tig weld. I...
I would like some more info on this as well. The shop I work at has a Tri-onics that is fully operational. Its down fall is waiting on the comp to process its next move. If I could boost its...
I see your from Tucson, I live in Phoenix AZ and always search CNC on craigslist but never saw this machine. I would not sell out of state (on craigslist at least) but would advertise in surrounding...
Is the bidding still open I live in Phx and could still make your 2 week dead line.
Thank you darebee
I'll have to load cosmos I don't currently have it but my superior does.
Bump
I would like to know as well. I am working on a headache rack and would like to simulate the complete part.
I have searched here and other sites w/out much luck
The company I work for picked up a handyman 2.5D Tri-onics mill ($800). I managed to fumble through its awkward DRO/computer to check all...
