Per IC phone support: Run IC as Administrator once. Problem solved. Thanks, Steve Never mind. This worked yesterday. Doesn't work today.

I'm having the same problem on a fresh install on my laptop. I'm on the road and can't re-install. Any suggestions?

deleczynski, Cool. The pdf you posted is very good. I will give it a try. Steve

1. Is there a way to change the page orientation from portrait to landscape? 2. Is there a way to change what document information is printed on the page as well as its location? It would be nice if we were able to choose a 3D PDF "template".

IC Dudes, How did Eric Foy and I become Member No.: 62,195 and Member No.: 61,638 (respectively)? We were once like Member No.: 3 and Member No.: 4.7 (respectively). How do we regain our lofty status? I am willing to send files to support@ironcad.com if necessary. Thanks, Steve

Harley, I have no idea..... I'm attaching our .ics files so maybe you or someone else can figure this out. Cheers, Steve 4022_655_9215.ics 4022_655_9217.ics

Harley, Attached is a video showing the steps I used. These steps worked as well on another small bracket but I haven't done any further testing. Steve FunnySM1.7z Bracket_1.tif

Cary, No model....started with a 2d drawing off the FAX machine. Steve

A friend of mine who owns a machine shop received 2d drawings of some brackets and asked me if I could "unfold" them and give him some dimensioned drawings of the unfolded parts so he could make "blanks". These are prototypes so the quantity was only 3 each. "Dude, IC can do anything! Give me an hour." I responded, even though I don't do any sheet metal design in IC. Well, what I had to do was create the sheet metal as if everything was "square" and dimensionally correct. I then unfolded the part and created the desired outline as a 2d shape, folded and then applied the 2d shape as a "custom profile". In worked! My question: Is this the correct approach for funny shaped sheet metal or is there a better way to do this? I ask because my hour to create his drawings became three. If IC could accept these modifications in an unfolded configuration I would have been under my time estimate. Regardless, there is a six-pack of Budweiser coming my way Thanks, Steve Bracket_1.tif Bracket_2.tif

I have a client who uses: http://www.vectric.com/products/aspire.html He is a luthier and uses it for 3D contouring of guitar bodies and necks. http://www.engelguitars.com/

No wait .......shoot ......it has "CAD" in it.... When is the deadline? I have to rethink this.

Tom, Don't make me come down there! Change your Spur Gear "Pan" value from 360 to 2160. Steve

How about this.... vGm_gears_for_Tom.ics

Tom, For part 110, if you change the "time effect" to "none" and "pan" to "2160" (360 * 6) the gears will stay synchronized when animated. Is that what you are after? Steve

Where is the duck?

Tom, Me too! Words of wisdom from a man with a duck on his head!
