[Hardware (again)]

Just thought I'd share some info here on the difference between GeForce "gaming" graphics cards and Quadro "professional" graphics cards. We have had this discussion a lot, and this video seems to make a pretty compelling argument for Quadro being the better option (and actually cheaper) when performance is compared.

Quick example, the Quadro P2000 ($600 USD) professional card has the same performance as the Titan V ($3000 USD) gaming card.

Note their test is done using SolidWorks, so whether or not we handle graphics in the same way is a technical question that we might need one of the R&D team to answer, but I'm assuming we handle graphics in a similar way.

 

[Generating Cut lists]

Hi All,

 

What are the best methods to generate cut lists for steel assemblies like this:

 

(Great video by the way )

 

Can this be done within IronPROXT / IronCAD Mechanical?

 

The main problem faced is including things like corner details (mitred etc)

 

Thanks!

[Sheet metal mitre feature]

I have been trying to make a mitered sheet metal part in IronCad and can not figure out how to use the feature, I have also been unable to find any documentation on it ether so I figure others probably are having the same problem.  does anyone have a video or a tutorial showing how? 

 

Thanks

Brent

Thought I'd upload a quick video to help for this question in future:

 

[IronCad VS Solidworks comparison]

Sketching – This is a draw IronCad makes horrible default choices for what to change when adjusting sketches (I swear it tries on purpose to move lines the wrong way), but Solidworks sketch function is just awkward to use slow and not meant for humans.

I may be wrong here, but don't the sketch lines in IronCAD adjust according to which side of the midpoint you select before changing the dimension?

 

For example, if you want to send the line upwards you select the top half, then change the dimension and the line will adjust in that direction?

 

Great post by the way! I agree with many of your points.

 

Having had training in SolidWorks, given the choice between the two I'd pick IronCAD every day of the week

[VPN with Network License Manager?]

Is anyone currently using a VPN to access an IronCAD license from home?

 

They key questions I have are:

 

Is it possible to use IronCAD Locally and then just license IronCAD using the VPN?

 

If so, What happens if the VPN is closed?

Will the license be locked to that computer or is there a time-out on the VPN to reallocate the license?

 

If not, what is the best way to access IronCAD from a computer at home when the license is on a Network License Manager at the office?

 

Thanks.

[Shortcut keys]

We are looking into this, currently it doesn't appear possible but I will follow up if we discover a way to migrate the settings.

Any update on this?

 

Would be very useful to be able to transfer these.

We have multiple set up that relate to hot-keys on a 3D mouse.

 

Thanks

 

 

[import sheet metal brep to sheetmetal ironcad]

The two points to watch out for (in my opinion) are:

 

1. Make sure you drop the part at the intellishape level into the catalog.

2. Make sure the thickness of the stock you drop in is set the same as the Brep file.

 

I made a video on this for a client, hope it helps.
