[request for tips - 3d model of embossed tray]

Hello Angelo! Thanks a lot for putting an effort.

Can you please save it in IronCAD 2022 because I cannot open the file.

Thanks a lot. 

[request for tips - 3d model of embossed tray]

Yes, that is metal. But I have no further info, I have no experience in that topic. I just got a request to make a model in IronCAD. 

I am also curious how will they use the model further and if it's efficient.

Hello everyone!

Looking for tips from more experienced users on how to model such an item? I have a step file for reference but I need to model it in IronCAD environment. Any tips are useful! I show half of the item for reference.

Thank you.

[Dimension styles - limitations]

Hello,

I stepped on some issues while creating a dimesnion style as per clients requirements. I attach printscreens to clearly show my issues. 

1. How do I change the coma into a dot in inch measurment? 

2. Is there a way to place dimensions on centre of the line, not only the leading measurment?

Thanks for the help in advance!

[Looking for Global Text size parameters.]

Thank you so much Kevin!

I appriciate your quick action. I would never have thought of that.

This works. Thanks again.

[Looking for Global Text size parameters.]

Hello,

Any ideas why I cannot edit the text font&size for my cusotm dimensions styles? When I change it, click "apply" and close it it doesn't update and when I go back to settings it's always Arial size 12 back again. This happens for all my drawings. 

[Shaded rendering - vector export]

Thank you Cary for you detailed answer.

You intrigued me with this 'Part Color option in the views'. Where exactly should I look for this option? I can't find it in View Properties.

[Shaded rendering - vector export]

Hello Everyone,

I came across very annoying issue. When preparing drawings for clients I want to present shaded 3d views or sometimes elevations also combined with technical drawings with dimensions in one file, sometimes on one page.

While exporting drawings to pdf in vector true representation these views are losing shading and only outlines are shown. What am I supposed to do to keep these shaded views with colour and in vector format? This is a huge issue for us.

Thank you.

[PDF export text issue]

Hello Bill,

Thank you.

No, I don't see these squares appearing. That would mean that the issue is on my computer only?

I attached the same layout exported on my computer.

[PDF export text issue]

Hello! Coming back with this issue. 

This has been quite problematic in my recent work. Print to PDF tool seems to not work perfectly, especially with multiple layouts and even if I mark vector export files are not in good quality and colors are slightly changed. 

While I export pdf's the squares are still showing. Keep in mind I am using a Calibri or Arial, not custom fonts. 

This is affecting all text boxes on layouts, including text with leader. 

Any ideas how we can solve this problem? We can't present drawings to clients at the moment. 

Thank you.

[Sketchup to IronCAD - section and detail issue]

Hello Yall,

I am using imported sketchup model of stair to create metal railing. I finished the model and now I wanted to prepare layouts.

The skechup imported model is visible on plan and elevations (Standard Views)

but not on sections or details. Is there a way to show imported shapes on these drawings? 

Thank you. 

 

[PDF export text issue]

Many thanks for help! This works. 

[PDF export text issue]

Hi! Thank you, but this did not help. These are still showing in exported pdf. 

[PDF export text issue]

Hello, 

I have a problem with exporting layouts to PDF. For some reason there are squares showing up as attached at the end of almost each text.

What is the reason for that? This is not visible while printing directly from ironcad on my printer. 

Thank you. 

[Last saved Date - Layout CODE]

Thank you, we will look forward to it 

[Architectural and Engineering Scale]

Thank you! Your help is much appreciated. It worked perfectly 

[Last saved Date - Layout CODE]

Hello!

I am trying to use as much automatic features as possible. I found a code to put last saved/print date but it also shows time.

Is it possible to remove the time from this code? Or possibly different code? 

The code I am using now:

$PRPDrawing:"IC-Last Saved Date"

Thanks in advance!

[Architectural and Engineering Scale]

Hello,

I am using IronCAD to work with both European and American clients. 

While choosing a scale on layout I can only choose from standard engineering scales. Same in View Properties. 

How do I switch to architectural scales? Example 1 1/2"=1'

Thanks in advance!
