Here is one more: http://www.ironcad.no/ / Marcus

There are alot of webb pages that doesent having V9 information,saying that V7 or V8 is the last release. For example http://www.ironcad.it/ I think it would be good for you if you helped them with info about V9. / Marcus

No, not I. / Marcus

I to already have OpenGL selected. / Marcus

I'm feeling that V9 is slower handling big assemblies then V8. It is harder and takes longer time to get smartsnap points for example and also to get visual feedback for selection of part/assemblies in scene browser. Is there anybody feeling the same? / Marcus

Not really a measure tool but it works. Create a 3D-curve of what you want to measure (you can project an edge for example). Then mark the curve and right-click/properties. There under one of the tabs the length is visible. / Marcus

For me it is mostly things from drawings with dimensions and annotations that I want to get into Office programs. And in other programs the printout is much better if the imported file is a wmf. / Marcus

Do you mean that WMF ( or EMF ) is not supported by IC?

Yes thats right. And it is for getting vector grafic between programs like Office, Autocad, Microstatiion etc. The benefit of getting it in Office as vectors instead of raster is that it is most of the time smaller, get better printouts etc / Marcus

And here is what I found.

Hi I found this on IC homepage. How do I make the WMF-file? / Marcus

OK I fully understand. / Marcus

I have seen the web adress iccentral.com and try to get there but it says that it is free. Is that thing dead? Has it turn to something else? / Marcus

I dont know if this may help but maybe you can split it up in several units? / Marcus

So is it only working on 2D sketches? Is it not possible to fix start and endpoint of an extrusion or sweep? Or is it then possible to let the 2D-shape steer the "beam"? / Marcus

Yes! That is pretty much it. How did you do that? Imagine that the shape in your example is a angle beam (L-beam) instead, thats my case. / Marcus

Is it possible somehow to lock two endpoint positions of a part to other objects, a extruded or sweeped shape maybe? So if I move the other object the first part will be stretched with it (end point move) getting longer or shorter. Why I´m asking is because I try to model a lattice steel structure where the corner angle beam is angled in two directions and then I have to model up the side cross arms that also is as angle beam. It would be great to be able to let this cross arms follow with when I move the corner beams. It is not the lenght of the cross arms that are steering the design, it is the corner beams and the distance where the crossarms are connected to the corner beams. Length of cross arm is then only a output for cut list. Help is much appreciated! / Marcus

I agree with you Beat! It is two different cases. I can see several cases where I want to "batch" change properties (BOM-information) even if the geometry is not the same. / Marcus

How do I set how the "File Open" dialog shall look like? Most often I would like "View meny" to be "Details". Or is it maybe possible to make it remember how it looked when it was closed? Even better. / Marcus

It is ironpro stuf. There are something with the beams part properties that keeps coming back in to BOM and it is unfortunatly wrong. It is U-beams but it properties say its a L-beam. / Marcus

Hi Anyone know how to turn off the auto fill in of values into the BOM. I have a consultant here that say that even if he change values and save it keeps coming back. / Marcus

I just want to say one thing. Whatch out for more than one level referencing. It is so hard to control them. In the begining I used a lot of them, but I have changed to have copys instead. Also be careful with the "insert" and turning of the check mark "link". It will only break link in one level, so you can still have links under it. This have drive me nuts. / Marcus

And sorry to say. 2D shapes are only vissible in draft mode. I would realy like it to be vissible even in precise mode. / Marcus

That may be the best solution for now. I shall give it a try. Maybe it is pretty quick to use the trim tool introduced in IC8. I think it is sad that we have to go trough dwg/dxf to solve certain things. Why can't it be possible to copy/paste/explode views directly in IC. / Marcus

That sounds great. I realy hope that you will be able to do that for IC9. This has been a real pain for us to manage. We often have more that 1000 parts in several assembly levels. / Marcus
