    Dropping Fasteners as Intellishape Features

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Maybe this can help:

    -from the TOOLS catalog, drag in a screw.

    change selection filter from ANY to INTELLISHAPE

    Then box select the screw. All features will turn yellow.

    Bounce that selection set over a catalog on to your custom part.

     

     

    Is there a way to drop a fastener onto a part as an Intellishape feature?

     

    Right clicking and dragging "Fastener" from the Tools catalog does not produce the usual "drop as part / Intellishape etc." options.

     

    Otherwise is there an easy way to add a standard thread onto a rod? There is the "Custom Hole" feature but not a corresponding "Custom Rod".

    And the most important one:

    Before a finished rendering is closed it should be great to have a "Save warning" if the rendering not has been saved. It had happend sometimes that you just close down the window as an reflex and poof 4 hours of rendering material is lost..

    Right, its easy cause if you close the scene, the render windows closes to.

     

    Animation - video compression

    in Realistic Rendering and Animation

    -"full frames uncompressed" option. " is mainly used if you want to edit the animation in a video editing software. Then you export the video out with compression on.

    Without compression on, the video is to heavy to use.

     

    I recommend using a video editing software. Its pretty easy. drag and drop, mix, cut, add text, export. You can also do many amazing things like, seamlessly apply transparency

     

    330 frames will do a 13 sec video.

    curve aligned text in Caxa Draft

    in Tips and Tricks

    Posted · Edited by Robert Andersson

    On the Common toolbar, select the down arrow at the just right of the "A" text ikon.

    Select "Arc-Aligned text" and select a curve in the drawing. Enter text. Done

     

    If you change the curve, the text will update.

    Works also with splines.

    Also in situations like this, :

    -pressing SHIFT and the Camera orbit ikon (or F3) makes the camera spin around in one plane. To shift Plane, let the mouse go and press again in the new direction.

    -While doing that adding CTRL makes the camera snap to 45dgr steps.

    -You can in tricky situations make the cameras visible in the scene and select a camera and position it with the Triball.

     

    Restoring A Deleted Assy After Save?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Robert Andersson

    If you store the files on a network server that is running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2003 Storage server, then you may like to use "Windows Shadowing Copy Service".

     

    Then the server takes 2 snappshots per day (Incr) without disturbing the user.

    To Restore, simple Right click the folder or file and select properies.

    There is a tab called something like "Revisions"

    There you can select any of the earlier versions for restore. And you can select WHERE to restore the file.

    Using this you can loose maximun like 4 hours work. And its all configurable.

    I think you can extend it to Shadow client folders / files to.
