Re: Why Webinars Rock

Cool, thanks. I feel a 'Why sometimes automating your blog can bite you in the ass' article coming on. If I write it would you consider a guest post if it is good enough?

The constant go go go of work, a three year old, maintaining the
house, weekend weddings, parties, camping, has kept me from working
out. Still losing weight though. I am on track to cross 40 lbs in the
next couple weeks. 30 to go, but I am over the hump (that was once my
belly) :). I have lost more weight than my kid weighs. I took her for
a piggy back the other day and was gobsmacked at the difference on my
legs...

Anyhow I have a running plan with an iPhone app I'll give a try with
soon.

Imagine the world if knowledge was shared and not sold...

Ya there was a big jump in traffic but only a temporary spike. I am sure if
I had a podcast or something relevant to the watchers I could have kept
them. So I will be filming MecanicalMashup soon and once I get that going I
may make another trip down to SanFran to do another show with Systm and get
Diggnation some non-stale beer, I may even see if I can work it so that I
can get on to the Diggnation show as well, this may have worked out for the
better for me. I am positive the beer was fine too. It has a really unique
flavor that could be mistaken for it not being right. I know this does not
make is sound good but trust me it is one of the best beers out there.

Master Corpral Eadie reporting SIR! Here is what I love about SWW you can talk and not have to dumb down or explain yourself cause all the people there understand what you are saying unlike owners, salesmen.... If you say You are having mating issues you dont get some strange look, someone will pipe up and suggest solutions that dont include leather :)

Beyond that the free food and drink. Friends from around the world and some great learning is had there.

Finally I will get to meet the latest JB target. Cant wait to see you all there

Ben Eadie — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:12:04 -0000

Trust me on this one guys, I know Dave well. I have also taken the assembly and saved it out no problem on my machine. Even on a virtual machine with 512gb and a simulated video card with other apps running. There is more going on than his resources. I am 100% sure his machine should do this.

Chris is right on the heating, and yes Chris it is a laptop. Give that a try. Good way to see if this is the problem. Is after a night of being off, turn the laptop on, start SW right away, open the drawing and save as. Since the computershould be cold at this point if that is the problem it will work and you know the problem. Barring that see below:

That being said, Dave do a memory check ( google for a open source memory tester) and see if there is faulty memory.

Ben Eadie — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:13:57 -0000

If you put a small shank on the head(s) then you can fillet it and put it in the assembly with the fillet. But I wonder why you do not make configurations of the threaded shank with the different heads? You can suppress the head geometry of one and build the other etc etc....

Ben Eadie — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:58:37 -0000

This is a good solution but keep in mind that when inserting Part B into A that if you update part B make sure that Part A is open and update part A immediately as the parametrics on a part within a part is kludgy. I haven't tested this with 2009 but 2008 and earlier require this added step to make sure the parametrics are correct.

Ben Eadie — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:43:04 -0000

You could save the assembly as a part and then add the fillet after joining the bodies.

Or you could make a derived part out of the assembly by using the join function and fillet the derived part.

This is from the help menu under 'Creating a Joined Part' :

Create the parts that you want to join, then create an assembly containing the parts.

Position the parts as desired in the assembly. The parts may either touch each other or intrude into one another.

Save the assembly but do not close the window.

Insert a new part into the assembly:

Click New Part on the Assembly toolbar, or click Insert, Component, New Part.

Click a plane or planar face on a component.

In the new part, a sketch opens on the selected plane.

Close the sketch. Because you are creating a joined part, you do not need the sketch.

In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the new part name, select Rename Part, and rename the new part.

Click Insert, Features, Join.

Make selections and set options in the Join PropertyManager.

Click to create the joined part.

Re: why should I use Solidworks over Proe?

Ben Eadie — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:33:21 -0000

I have had very little experience in ProE so I could not tell you. I believe Matt Lombard has covered this in his blog at http://DezignStuff.com/blog and you should Google this to see what comes up. Ill try and encourage more people to respond to this that have more experience but I cannot promise anything though...

Google 'MITcalc' as well this is another program that interfaces with SolidWorks and can do what you want.

When I have used it is when a part is centered between two plates that may change in distance apart. The part stays centered regardless of separation distance.
