You can use this free plug in to Firefox, then you can view ALL websites that works with IE: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/morei...umpg=10&id=1419 The plug in installs a new button in Firefox. Clicking on that button will change the active web site to be viewed in IE, but still you are in Firefox. So all bookmarks and everything still works. This is a must have, for Firefox users. Have a simple link on your webpage for users with Firefox browsers.

Sure! I dont know any modeller that can import HSF files, but to be sure, read this: http://www.ironcad.com/support/community/i...1&hl=modelpress

If you want to publish 3D info about your products on a webpage, this sample can help. From IronCAD / Inovate, File/ Export a .HSF file. Then edit a HTML page and insert the source code you see below. Then users can go to you webpage and rotate your 3D models directly from inside Internet Explorer. First time they have to accept to install a small plugin. Its a one button clock process. The users can rotate the model with realtime shadowing. Right click for the menu. HSF modells are very compact. Sample files are attatched as ZIP Simply UN zip and dbl click on the HTML file. First time you have to be connected to the Internet to install the plug in. Good to combine with 2D drawings in PDF formats. Structure_HSF_and_HTML.zip

David, CTRL will not replace the target part if the dragged object is a Intellishape. It will if the catalog object is a part. You can drag out your Intellishape to the scene, not hitting any other part. Then select it as a part and drag it back in. Now you can use CTRL drop, to replace, if that is what you want to do.

Christian, Mike is right here, make sure you select the BOM template as a template when you insert it. Se attatched image Also, you can RE-order rows with drag and drop. Drag in the first cell in the row and drop it. Like in Excel.

Kevin, I found the right box for you!

-You may want to create a new user on your machine and try to run IronCAD as that user.

CTRL-E is a great tip! Could be useful for instance when you want to select edges for blending/ chamfering, when the edges are hidden. With hidden edges visable, you can click on them "trough" the solid. (yes, Im to lacy to turn the camera around to the other side...) Select the part, and then press CTRL E Or select a assembly, and then press CTRL E You have to have scene properties set to "Show part edges" ) (thats standard) to make this work. -RM the scene background, Rendering, for more info.

Say you have a part with many features (Intellishapes) and you for some reason want to combine the part, you can then Supress those features. And then execute the Combine command. All supressed features will still be there, ready to be UN-supressed.

This is one way to create a cone where the cones are displaced. (If that is what you ment...) sheetCone.ics

If you drag and drop this new tool from IronPRO XT catalogs, you can in a snap supress ALL parts in the scene that are smaller then the values that you print in. This can be good to have when working large assemblies.

If you apply a GEL to a spotlight you can end up with some interesting effects. Attatched is a sample of what can be done. A stotlight have a Gel image and also the spotlight have been animated. Then a AVI is created. To look at the AVI use the CamPlay.exe. This player have realtime play controlls, differ from mediaplayer. Simply drag in the play slider to se realtime texture movments.

Attatched images points out the that the lamps settings are quite importent to produce good shadow effect. In this sample the only difference between the two images is the setting of the lamps.

Since a while you can download ModelPress Publiser and not only Modelpress Reader from www.modelpress.com It let you publish files in several ways. Sample: http://www.modelpress.com/samples/ From what I can tell, its free to use. Just as the reader. Can do things like: -password protect files -Set a timebomd expire date to viewing files -publish to HTML with 3D support including mesuring right in IE.

Some tips in this important issue: -In AutoCAD there is a variable called DIMLFAC You can change that from inside AutoCAD. Type it at the prompt. -In AutoCAD there is a property-painter thats is really helpful. -You can create your own .ICD templates with customized layers, styles and colors to fit you target AutoCAD system. AutoCAD and its different applications is very dependant on the layerstucture in the DWGs.

Athlon 64 outperform Intel

In addition to that, you can edit an existing catalog parts anchor orientation: -Right mouse the parts ikon in the catalog and select "Edit Catalog Item" IronCAD now open up the object "under the ikon" Now click on the anchor point so it turns yellow (indicates that it is selected) Activate the Triball (F10) and turn the orientation as you prefer. Close the open document and select YES on question for save. Also go to Menu Catalogs and select Save. This save the catalog file. Note: -Be sure to select the Edit objekt on the right selection level A part have a anchorpoint and also each Intellishape have individual anchorpoints. If you want to work with the PARTS anchor point, make sure you have selected at PARTlevel before selecting the anchorpoint.

Here is the missed images and a dump over Tools Options where the setting is done.

Moviemaker can only do 8 frames second. Very good quality but to few frames a sec. I smooth AVI should have like 25 frames a sec

It is? It was suposed to be included in the ICS, anyway I upload them soon Thanks

Check this scene out Look at the cameras in the scenebrowser InideBoxes.ics

Heres a streaming video showing hove IronCAD works with Algor FEA: http://www.etechlearning.com/IE/default.as...4D-99F46F3FA72A You may need to upgrade your Windows Mediaplayer from Microsoft to see the videostream.

After Algor installation on a IronCAD 7.0.2 PC: -In IronCAD go to Tools/ Applications Addins -Check "Algor" Done. The Algor FEA toolbar will show right away. Good luck!

Thanks Brett, thats a great rendering engine! Hard to see the difference from reality...
