what version do you have? I think it's under the Help section.... you can buy new cast door handles for $45 from AA.......it'll cost way more than that to machine new handles from billet |

I use it now and then at home (V5) and find it much simpler to use than the AutoDesk line of software they taught at school. I bought a Solidworks Tutorial book (w/cd) off ebay, and it has come in VERY handy.
What's giving you problems? |

Don't use it on a daily basis, but I've bought both network and single seat versions for my designers and engineers. I'll answer what I can.

just remembered I dotn have/didnt download that program (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) um, here we go...I have it pictured. The red area is what I want to cut out, and the top view is to the right of the front view (not like its supposed to be positioned i know) the end of the part has a arc on it....

The best way to learn CAD is to just fuck with it. Ive spent just about every day for 5 years with cad in some form at work or in school.
I think the solution for your problem is in the "extruded cut" cut icon. I think that takes you to a specified plane and you can draw your geometry there and extrude cut it from the part. |

Hard to tell what you want to do from that picture. Buy it looks like you just want to make a cut, but don't have a flat surface to sketch on. But you must have your original datum planes, one of which probably has the correct orientation - so just create your sketch on that plane - doesn't matter where the plane intersects the part or even if it doesn't intersect the part at all. After you have your sketch, just make it cut 'through all' (in both directions), and it will remove what you want.

Give me a copy of it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) and make a 2.0L head so we could all flood the market with good heads and so they wont be like 50000 dollars (a little sarcastic) |

You may regret saying that. I'm trying to use it also. We bought a seat in 1999. Last update was 2003+. We didn't renew the subscription, but we may need to shortly. We only use it occasionally. Sometimes intensely, sometimes not at all. It is hotting up right now. It has been years since I worked with it, so I'm struggling at the moment. Dave |
