Re: Export Weldment/Multibody to individual IGES

Also, if someone could show me how to hardcode the VBA to change the units of measure in all componenets of the assembly to MMGS, that would be amazing. I'm tired of finding exported files that didn't get changed to MMGS, but how to write a macro to run as batch is currently beyond me...

Re: Export Weldment/Multibody to individual IGES

Thank you for your reply, Zhen. This massive macro looks like it should be very close in functionality, but I can't get it to run properly: https://www.cadforum.net/viewtopic.php?p=14464#p14464 I'd love to be able to export all my IGES from a single SLDASM file that contains multibody parts and weld...

Re: Need Macro to change length units

I need a macro to open each component in an assembly and change the document units to 0.123. I tried but my programming knowledge is simply too limited. Thanks in advance! I've been unsuccessfully looking for a similar application with a different function.: A simple macro (or something similar) to...

Export Weldment/Multibody to individual IGES

Have any of you all had success with a macro to export individual body IGES files from weldments, assemblies, and multi-body parts? I've found one or two macros that export .step bodies out of weldments which is close in functionality but I need a to be able to select file type (IGES in this case) a...

Re: Simple Sweep Fails

Thank you guys for the input and humour.

The idea behind the tiny fillets was to introduce tangency in the path in as small an increment as possible. Thought that might help. It didn't.

Got the sweep to solve now, many thanks!

Simple Sweep Fails

I've been trying for too long to get this sweep to solve and it's time to humble myself and ask for help. Sketch2 is the profile involving an unconstrained style spline (yes I know it should be fully defined and its not), and Sketch3 is the path comprised mostly of in-context references. Sweepcut is...

Best Practices: Design Intent/SSP

What have you found to be good rules-of-thumb for in-context design intent? I am transitioning to SW and find that my top-down modeling habits do not serve well when creating complex designs. What workflow yields the most stable designs?

Re: Obligatory mouse thread

If anyone knows of a trackball with more than the default buttons, I would love to hear about it. I've been a trackball guy for 2 decades. SPerman The only one I could find is Elecom HUGE. It has 8 buttons so that is nice, but the drivers stink IMO. Default to Japanese text sometimes which once you...
