  1. Print "to" what though? Were you printing that sheet to a laserjet, or a pdf file, or ?
  2. What version of IronCAD? What operating system? Printing to what?
  3. Thanks for the feedback Tom. That's a new format that we decided to try for the draft tutorial; I'm glad that you liked it (and told us so).
  4. They didn't turn into a solid because they're not a closed volume. It's still just a single sided ribbon. You have to close the sides in order for it to become a solid. There is no surfacing resource. I'm sure that IronKevin will have more useful info for you.
  5. .ics is the native IC file extension. So while in IronCAD just hit File/Save As. .ics is not under file/export
  6. Ahh so the ATI problems persist beyond the X2 256T. (Come to think of it, I think Floris already told me about this, I forgot) Steve if you pull down tools/options/rendering; uncheck automatic, check software, then [ok] out; those redraw problems "should" go away (at the expense of not using OpenGL); if it becomes a major problem for you before the new drivers release.
  7. So if you're not running an ATI X2 256T card, and you're not relying on any of the trial licenses; then SP2 is fine. If you are running an X2 256T card then wait until the next ATI driver release; which should occur at the end of this month.
  8. A Save As is supposed to purge the file, so what you are experiencing is unusual. When you perform a regular "Save", there -is- data left in the file that is unusued. But the file should not grow exponentionally upon each save. If you will upload the file to our ftp site (ftp.ironcad.com) and then email the filename to support@ironcad.com (do not post it here); then we will check it out and get back to you.
  9. 1) Assemble everything in the scene into one assembly 2) Select the top level assembly 3) Pull down the assembly menu and choose "Save As Parts/Assembly" 4) Save it out and do not link 5) What is the size of the resulting file? If bigger, then we will need to investigate your file.
  10. On our systems at least, when you insert a word object, it displays the text at a 1:1 scale. If you stretch the sizebox, then it will scale it up or down, but it should always start at 1:1. Of course, stretching the sizebox seems like a desireable method for showing more or less data from the word object; in this case, instead of stretching the box, you would edit the word object in-place and resize the borders of the object while editing it; in order to show more or less of the document. As for the excel object, that's just how excel is. Those aren't considered borders by excel since they don't print or export; but since you're working in a table format, you need to see the cells "somehow" . If you can figure out how to turn off the grey excel borders using normal Microsoft Excel, then that will also be the method for not displaying them when they are embedded in IronCAD. (Try filling the lines with white or filling the cell region) Scaling seems to be quite tricky with our embedded Ole objects. I will place an enhancement request for it to be easier to control.
  11. One method is to link in an excel spreadsheet through the OLE server. The spreadsheet will display in the drawing, but you can edit it outside of the drawing if desired; and you get the table look. Create/Object/From Files/workbook.xls You could also just put all of your notes in a single text box with line returns in it. You could also do a "Create/Object/Word Pad Document" and use the wordpad GUI for creating a note.
  12. The error uses too much to tell you to simply regenerate your geometry in the scene. So do this: 1) Goto the scene 2) Click on a blank area of the scene so that everything becomes deselected 3) Hit the [ctrl] + [a] keys in order to "Select All". You can also pull down the "Edit" menu and choose Select All. 4) With everything selected, pull down the "Shape" menu and choose "Regenerate", and then wait. 5) Save the scene 6) Goto back to the drawing and "Update all Views" 7) Save the drawing. Now that you have regenerated and updated, everything should be copacetic. If, after performing the above steps, you still receive that error, then something is malfunctioning and we will need to investigate your data.
  13. Ok ok, Windows bashing isn't very productive on these forums and takes the thread off topic. Per-Arne, yeah the potential benefits sound great. We'll take note and add your name to the list of people that would be willing to purchase new hardware, a new OS, and a new version of IronCAD, to take advantage of the new 64 bit stuff.
