  1. "Options"-"Parts"-"Wait to Regenerate" also helps. Alex
  2. Hi Daniel, dimensions seem to work in the drawing at least. Please see attached. ELLIPSE.PDF
  3. Standard electronic component packages, like TO220, DIP8, and so on. -Alex.
  4. I agree, the name is the first impression a potential customer has of the product. I had experiences when people were amused by the name of my 3D software. I think TriSpectives was a better name, and you could do something like TriSpectivesCAD or Tri-CAD if needs be, or something - I don't pretend to be a marketing guy here. ---but I'll take transferable settings first -Alex.
  5. There's no such thing as "mass density". Density is defined as the MASS OF A UNIT VOLUME. There's no weight involved - a given material does not change its density when moved from Earth to the Moon because neither the mass nor the volume change. - Alex
  6. Yes, .ini file in ASCII format would do the trick.
  7. The problem with creating a fastener with the right thread, deleting its head and adding whatever you need is that if you want to modify the thread later IN ANY WAY the part will default to the original fastener and destroy all your added shapes without a trace. Here's what I do (I have to do external threads all the time) - create thread profile - apply the thread image the way Steve described - in the drawing, add the dashed 0.3mm thick line representing the thread in Edit View mode - use Text with Leader for the callout. -Alex P.S. Adding an external thread tool would be a very much appreciated enhancement, of course
  8. Sorry for tooting my horn here, again, but I'm trying to find ways to KEEP my customizations, not have another reason to delete them, as discussed ad nauseum here: http://www.ironcad.com/support/community/i...wtopic=2819&hl=
  9. This bug's been around as long as I can remember, by the way. -Alex.
  10. 1) Input the proper density of the material in Part Properties. 2) Obtain the total mass in kg by doing Analysis 3) Measure the total length of the part in meters 4) Divide the total mass in kg by the total length in m -Alex.
  11. I see... Multiple Discipline calls for Multiple Uses of Multiple Materials this must be a very interesting place to work! -Alex.
  12. May I ask an unrelated question... What did you use scandium for? -Alex
  13. To add insult to injury, there was a very nice (really - no sarcasm or anything) person calling me from IC yesterday asking all kinds of question - what I use IC for, how it helps me, etc - marketing stuff. I am very happy to help you guys sell more seats and prosper, but THEN - then she asked me what I would like to see improved or added to IC, or some such. I mean - I and others here have been going at it for years - telling you guys what it is that we want - no, NEED! I understand I am not gonna get everything I want (need), even though some of these things are both elementary and optional, but there are some things many people have requested for years! I remember there was an e-mail questionnaire that we filled out - as if the forums weren't enough. Now there is a real human being asking questions. Is this, like, a new marketing manager having a burst of activity that then goes under the folder "Done a Study of Customer Preferences/Complaints"? Please don't misunderstand me - I LIKE both the product and the company; it is painful to see a potentially fantastic product not enjoying the success it deserves, and driving even its loyal (since version 3.2 in my case) supporters to exasperation ! -Alex.
  14. by the way, has anybody here ever modeled a Moebius strip in IC?
  15. the attached file can be used as a starting point - I used a 3d formila curve as a guide for a sweep. The formula is very simple - use Polar coordinates, enter a number for the radius and "sin(n*t), where n is the number of waves you want for the Z coordinate. -Alex. wavy_ring.ics
