  1. 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".

     

     

  2. 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,

  3. 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 biggrin.gif

     

    Thanks,
