  1. when you select your part/ assembly note where the (Anchor) "green dot with post-it pin" is then when you start triball note to see if it comes on somewhere else. this works unless you have re-positioned the original anchor point (green dot). Dallas
  2. There is a free program called CutePDF which allows you to select it in place of your printer when printing. it is so far advanced as it relates to clarity and sharpness. I have attached two files, one (the blurry one is IC Export) the other is CutePDF. IC needs to talk to these people. Google CutePDF Dallas MA2976_00_ECENTRIC_BB_FOR_17IN__2_25_15_.PDF 2_25_15_sample_pdf_print.pdf
  3. kevin I migrated this file to 14 when it cam out. the English works OK but the metric is wacky and reads the data as inch. i have just not asked until now. what causes that? Dallas
  4. The new Compose away app. will it be available some time for Android? Dallas
  5. hold "Shift" key click on the circle and it will place on center Dallas
  6. This is a box I wired using the method Kevin was talking about. Dallas it takes getting accustom to but by driving the guide curve around with triball and then pressing "P" where you want points you can drag the triBall around in a plain otherwise the points jump around and attache to what ever. once you get the basic points, use more then you think you will need, you can go back and edit the guide curves to eliminate interference with other wires/hoses.
  7. That chain and sprockets moving is just too cool. as for your belt moving. since it does not have features like the chain it would not be noticeable if it were moving. my suggestion is to have features on the Pulley like spokes or bolts. so that when you spin the pulleys at the correct speed then it would give impression that belt must be moving since the pulleys are moving. Dallas
  8. One way I find that I can "slightly" reduce file size is that I do my work in a file that has prefix "start" then when I am done I do a "Save as" and save the file without the word start. the resulting file is some smaller and opens faster. I agree with what with "t" I was not suggesting that this would work for your need, just in general that when file is re saved using "Save As" that it cleans up file and makes a little smaller. Dallas
  9. zoom in on the smaller fonts. Hold "CTL+ALT" and roll the mouse wheel. I need to do that on my smaller screen. works on most things. Dallas
  10. Cheat go to McMaster.com search for the size you want, click CAD in the drop down box when you select the part number you want and then download the model. been doing it that way for years. most of their fittings and fasteners have models. Dallas
  11. when you are doing it watch which way the blue arrow is pointing. if it is pointing away from the part then right click it and flit the extrusion direction. Dallas
  12. Carlo I check your web site now and again and really like your work. one of them reminds me of a piece of Aluminum I saw once at an Aluminum factory where the material had been warped up and twisted when they had a jam when rolling out the material to thin it down. your site, "loops and Lofts" # 410. keep up the good work. Dallas
  13. for some reason I could not open the .avi file but looking at the .ics file ok. Looks great. I played with editing the guide curve and when I did the cross section became oval so I edited the shape and rotated the grid slightly and it became round again. wish I could see video. can you put it on you tube? Dallas
