Nice to see they are getting around to all of the threads...

Thanks John.

sleep a little, come back, and open the file. Kaboom! It's the loss of sleep, which could be directly related to overseeing anything till it's way too late, using SW sometimes give us "Day Mares" which reduces the ability's for the 2:00 snooze we all need, dream on, yep that don't happen ...

If we get the projects we would definitely need contractors. The hard part is finding one that can actually do the work. Been involved in several cases where that was not the case. Normally, if a guy is good, the first test in my opinion is; #1 - Does he have pictures of what he worked on (if it's ...

mattpeneguy The worst thing about the whole debacle (how it looks from the outside), is there is no concern for the limit of time... There was no time management, no time goals (except for the April 2nd cutoff date), there are no timely updates from SW - Just a whole lot of garbage, yeah I'm sore,...

Maha... I am starting to use Fusion 360 and probably will be forced to go full bore in the near future. I don't think that there is any comparison between the two, of what both software programs can do. For the simple stuff, it works great but and is easy to use. Below is the first "from scratc...

For all the CAD guys that use SW - IV - SE, going to Fusion 360 may be a step backward, but I've been getting more proficient with it as the days go on, it's actually fun learning the twists and turns, definitely easy and intuitive to use. The biggest stickler on the whole thing is learning where th...

I've worked at a variety of companies with a variety of part numbering systems over the years. I think it works well if part numbers have general categories rather than just being sequential. Most of the places I have worked send parts out to be made. They are inventoried by part number. (and if yo...

Is SSP and In-Context the same thing? I view SSP as a master part model with sketches, planes, etc. inserted into new part files with geometry constrained to the inserted master part geometry. Then you assemble the parts with mates or constrain it to the same master part in the assembly. In-context...
