  1. Hi All, I have a simple air cylinder set up that i have modelled using mechanism mode to determine the opening swing of a plate My question is whether it is possible to capture the opening states into a configuration for my drawing? I cant seem to find a way to make a configuration when Mechanism mode is active. Thanks, Peter
  2. I would like to bump this enhancement request again... Last time it was addressed was a year ago and it would be very helpful to have a pre defined thread tool -Peter
  3. Thanks Malcolm.. I hadn't actually thought to use a wipeout..Its a good work around for sure. I think i will add this as an enhancement request. Its kind of a drafting basic rule is it not. I know it exists on the ICD environment. Until then i will use the wipeout method you described. Peter
  4. Thank you Cary... Its been one of those questions I have had for a long time, just kept forgetting to ask.
  5. Hi Forum, This seems like a basic Drafting question, but for the life of me i cant find any way to break a dimension extension line in CAXA.. Is this even possible to do in Caxa? Can anyone point me in the right direction.
  6. Yes that would be ideal...Or maybe have a file import within the bulk drawing feature..
  7. I am just starting to look at the bulk Drawing capability in Ironcad. I reviewed the tutorial in the learning academy on the sterling engine. My question is,.. Do the parts that i want to use the bulk drawing tool on have to be in one assembly file? I have a bunch of single part files ( of which all are not part of one assembly but rather span across multiple assemblies) which i would like to smash out a bunch of drawings as opposed to one at a time. Is there a way to load in individual files to the bulk drawing tool? Peter
  8. Hi Malcolm.. Thankyou for that video. That was super helpful and really well explained. Now I can have my modeled parts visually represent he actual finished products. Nicely done. Take care and I hope the sun will shine on your next ride. Peter
  9. Hi Malcolm, Design variations and parameters is one area of Ironcad I have never really learned so a video would be great but don't ruin your weekend making one.. Weekends are for fun stuff. We have our thanksgiving long weekend here so i am going to be sitting back, relaxing on the deck, and eating a pile of turkey and food with friends and family. I don't plan on being back in the office until at least Tuesday. Thanks..
  10. HI All, Is it possible to add colors to an assembly level only and have the linked parts remain different colors. Almost like using an Assembly feature. What i am trying to accomplish is to have my parts which are bare steel to remain as bare steel and then when i link them into an assembly have the final assembly all painted.. Thanks
  11. Thanks Malcolm, That works great. Ive never thought to use the assembly feature that way. You made my day.. Peter
  12. Is it possible to create a broken out section on an isometric view in CAXA.... I have a tank system that i am trying to create a manual for and i would like to be able to break away the outside of the tank to display the internal components but i cant seem to figure out how to do it.. I would rather not just hide the side plates, but actually show them broken away. Am i missing something simple? Thanks, Peter
  13. Excellent example Malcolm.. This is one of the reasons I really like Caxa draft. I do this very often when clients send us drawings in pdf format. Same Principal. I then overlay our equipment and send back to the customer for review ect... Peter
  14. Hi Kim, I am using 2023 version 25 SP1. Peter
