Hi, I have attached a simple channel with a weight of 10.2 kg per mtr, the channel in the scene is 1mtr lg - the units in the scene are set at, as I work in, Millimeters and Kilograms. Never was any good at maths, wish I'd studied ! Thanks for your help Scene2.ics

Sorry ~ Still confused and losing the plot. Say, a channel weighs 10.2 kg/per mtr - in a scene I produce this channel and make it 1mtr long, the weight of this part should then read 10.2 kg from the Analysis tool bar I've input the mass density of the material as 10.2 from the part properties although do not end up back with 10.2 on the Analysis ??? Thanks Dave

Is there a way of obtaining the weight of a part in Kilogrammes per metre ?

It is the DWG Export issue, thing is, its causing a problem as a lot of our details are forwarded, due to urgency via email to the Arch/Engs who unfortunately run AutoCad. I'm having to make my excuses and use the postal system which will be accepted for a certain amount of time - but will cause problems sooner or later Let me know the results as soon as poss Thanks Dave

Did anyone resolve the 'unhandled exception' when exporting - if so please advise

Version 7 with the update - to be fair I do not normally have a problem, exported a lot larger files with no ploblems at all Attached is the scene and Drawing Thanks Standard_Type.icd Scene1.ics

Will forward both through tomorrow Thanks

Could anyone advise ~ when exporting a Drawing File to AutoCad Dwg or DXF I receive a message which states "there has been an unhandled exception" this in turn does not allow our clients who run AutoCad to open the file? Thanks for any help Dave G

I know this question has probally been asked before although I am unable to find a safe answer thoughout the forum - I need a sheet metal size of 4.5 mm and 6 mm (thick). I've looked at the tooltbl.txt file and all items are in English not Metric, as you can appreciate I am a little nervous changing things I know nothing about ! Any help would be gratefully accepted. Dave

Thanks for that - worked a treat ! Dave

Hi all, quick bit of help would be great if you could, the attached shows two beams, one coming in at 30 degs, i cant seem to find the correct way of 'butting' the two together without moving the other end or the vertical beam Any help would be much appreciated. Dave beam.ics

Had a irritating problem throughout today, currently using a brand new Dell Precision 450 Desktop - single Xeon 2.8 GHz with a 128 MB nVidia QuadroFX 500 Graphic Card (well 4 weeks old actually) on Win XP SP1 Pro. Keep getting a warning message saying 'Available Memory is Low, Please close other applications, save your work and restart IronCad. Additionally you may want to increase your Virtual Memory'. The file I'm using is not that large so dont really know how to resolve this issue. Any ideas ?

Cant seem to resolve this so any ideas how to correct would be appreciated - When creating a section (2D) it always starts with a 'D' not A, also the default custom hole (scene) is in English when needed in Metric ? Thanks Dave

I've checked the dongle on another computer, which, as I thought worked fine. Personally I dont believe it to be a I.C issue so dropped the Computer off with the so called experts to check it over. I was due to get ot back earlier today, then later today, then late this afternoon, now tomorrow, more that likely Monday ! Once I finally do get it back I'll download the drivers required, I'm sure this will correct the problem I've got. I'd like to thank you, I.C and the community for all the help I've received since obtaining the software a few months ago. I'll let you know if the downloads work. Thanks Again Dave
