There are some motorcycle models on this page:

[Wiring Harness Software]

Found this on the web.

[Quickie - Stop Render Mode Instantly]

Which render operation are you performing? Export? On-screen Render?

Also, which version are you using?

 

I'm having no trouble stopping the two rendering operations mentioned above with almost any key. IC7.0.2.1

[Can't Decide On Surface Technique]

There's lots of options from your starting point I think.

 

A cone and a cylinder are suggested by the outline, except for the spline curve on the backbone.

 

So I would go for a loft, as few as 3 profiles might do it.

 

Am I missing anything?

[Drawing Catalogs Off]

Highlight the catalog to be removed

Choose catalogs / close

 

Also you may want to store your catalog sets for future reference.

 

Choose catalogs / catalog sets /

Select a set and choose edit

Change the catalog name and remove the "offending" catalog from the list

Choose OK

[Adjust Screen Settings On Laptop]

Do your driver controls have an aspect ratio setting?

Sounds like you'll have to call Dell about this one.

[Catalog Icon Change]

Send me that ico.

I suspect the alpha channel. Transparecy probably isn't allowed, or is being identified wrongly.

 

 

[Step File Import From Pro.. Part Names]

Nice Tip.

[File Translation]

Right, QuickDraw, not Corel Draw.

It's a mac based program.

[File Translation]

I've checked into this format.

It seems to be some kind of Corel Draw format but Corel 12 wouldn't open it. Try Camel translator.

[Catalog Icon Change]

What .ico editor are you using?

 

 

 

[Printing]

I've tested the Batch print utility that's on the 6.0 CD and it works for 7.0 icd files.

It prints multiple sheets from a drawing without intervention.

 

[Is This Possible?]

Have you tried the Rhino / IronCad integration tool?

I used it to bring your model into Rhino and unroll the surfaces.

In Rhino you select the model / explode

choose the "surfaces / unroll " tool

 

[General View Creation]

The look at camera tool (f7) is also very usefull for aligning the view before using "sandard view". (dont forget the reset and from scene buttons)

 

I will present the request for more view orientation interface options for the general view dialog to R&D. I think it's reasonable to expect software with such a great interface to have a great dialog interface as well.

[How To Measure Sweep Shapes?]

Lofts only allow snapping on the end shapes.

 

Try editing the drawing view and adding reference geometry. This is a one way street, but allows dimensioning in an otherwise in-accessible spot.

 

Loft Model

 

Dims snap to end shapes only

 

Edit View

 

Model geometry highlights when adding reference geometry

 

Dimensions now have something to snap to

[Dimension Text]

If you want to send that drawing in to tech support, I'll take a look at it.

[2 Rows Of Catalogs]

In a related story, you can get more catalog icons onscreen by changing the windows display properties to show small icons. "display properties / advanced / item / icon / size / ?10?" or some other very small number. This affects the size and number of icons in IC that can be shown on-screen when the catalog is open, but of course, windows desktop icons will also be very small.

[Small Problem With X800 Pro]

You don't have convenient links to those drivers handy do you?

[Small Problem With X800 Pro]

try using the file atachments area at the bottom

[Small Problem With X800 Pro]

Can you upload an image of how that looks? I'm curious how "blocky" it is.
