Nice drill except the helix angle is wrong. You put a left hand twist on the drill with a right hand tip. I do like the videos, good job. Now I need to translate them to English.

The Videos I can find. What I want are the example files to go with the videos so I don't have to cobble something similar together that may not be technically correct.

Is there an in-depth description that covers how to use Mechanism mode and Animation. The Help files are not showing the way for me. In addition, if there is a better description of how to correctly apply constraints to an assy I would be grateful to see that too.

Cary, How about these? Robot File Smart Markup file Smart Assy file Flexible solve Import repair part Rib Feature part Constraint solver part Real time rendering part Mechanism mode part That'll keep me busy for a few days. Thanks

It would be a very good thing if the associated files were made available so that study and practice with all of the videos on this Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/IronCADTeam could be used for reference while viewing. Are these files currently available? I've done all of the SW Model Mania files from 2000 to 2015. It would be great to have access to the IC files for practice and testing. TM

I agree, I've always been in favor of incremental upgrades along the way. There is no such thing as a perfect release.

I've been using IC for about a 5 weeks, coming from SW. I agree with the OP, there are certainly some things about SW that are way easier to use especially the 2D sketch tools in SW as opposed to IC. IC could sure use planes and sketch tools like SW. Smart dimensions are eaier to use in SW but I'm getting used IC and I'm liking it a lot. Terry
