  1. Hi All

     

    Here is a problem for you. Attached is a drawing from one of our customers.

    As you will see it is a Cylindrical cam. With the developed cam profile drawn in 2D to be wrapped around the mean diameter. I am having great difficulty modeling this.

    I have is no problem creating a 3D curve by wrapping the 2D profile around a cylinder. But when I sweep a block along the curve it will not flatten out at the upper most points (95mm).

    This model needs to be accurate as is used for inspection CMM

    Can anyone help.

    I have also attached my .ics file of work so far.

  2. Hi All

     

    Im having problems with my .pdf drawing files after upgrading to V9.

    It would appear that if a B.O.M. is put into the drawing you can nolonger veiw the created .pdf file. On opening the file you get a message " Illegle operation inside a path" and not all of the drawing is shown.

    Old .pdf file still open fine its just .pdf's created in IronCAD V9

     

    Has anybody else run into this problem. sad.gif

  3. Has anyone found that some of the special symbols do not apear in the pdf files when they are created. I recently exported a drawing to pdf format and found that +/- tollerance symbol came out as a -, and the diameter sysmbol was just a blank space.

  4. Well! Low n behold it looks like we are using VB5 not VB6 blush.gif This may be the problem. There I am going off half cocked. Anyway are there plans to activate VB in the drawing environment so we don't have to go and get VB6 or do we have to shell out some bucks to our friend Mr Gates.

  5. We installed VB6 on our machines and proceeded to load the title block project into it.

    After being covered with bruises and singeing my eyebrows from all the fire eating, we discover that low and behold we must have the wrong type of pool noodles!, mad.gif as various warnings pop up and persuade us that the title block was written in some ancient hieroglyphics (Not VB6)

    It must be an early version of VB as It will not convert to VB6, or was I standing on the wrong foot, is there something else I should do, maybe chant some tibetan prayer.huh.gif

     

    So, oh wonderous Iron dudes can you tell me what version of VB I require or even better could you just make it active in the drawing environment.tongue.gif

  6. The spiral is definitely, Yes definitely spinning counter clockwise. I think? Or is it?..... It is verry hypnotic.....whats that.... I can hear voices.......they are saying. Vote... Vote... Yes vote for the space ball. (he he he biggrin.gif).

     

    Anyway having studied the spiral for a little while in my opinion it is rotating counter clockwise. That is if you consider the spiral to have a fixed pitch and linear increasing radius. But if you are of the appinion that the pitch , angle and radii are constantly changing as it rotates, it could be rotating clockwise.

     

    Maybe we can start a spiral poll?
