Got curious and thought I'd take a look at what the TTL would be if it was generated just from the regular enhancement ideas community. Another example of one person being very good at garnering support for their ideas. 1. PDM: Cancel stuck tasks from Administration tool (44) 2. PDM: Configurabilit...

It can use both as far as I'm aware, just needs to be set accordingly

These are the page setup settings found inside the Print function.

I was wondering if I can cancel it with headphone by using same freq and change phase.

My tinitus goes away with noise cancelling headphones so I'm guessing most likely. Mine is very minimal though, I'm still a youngin'

I had coil whine on a mother board, no one in the house could hear it and the engineer who came out couldn't hear it. Either way the engineer changed it because he understood only certain peoples hearing was in tune to it, he put it down as some kind of warranty issue so was fixed for free. Such a ...

Is anyone planning to attend? Disappointed to learn that there will evidently be no hybrid or virtual attendance, in-person only. The most recent Autodesk and PTC conferences had their content available live or shortly after the presentations, and were available behind a free registration. In-perso...

Yeah, that I do. Ultrawaves is something that I hear and most people do not, it can be quite irritating at times

Wife can sense wifi. She can tell if that's 2.4 or 5GHz. Really? That's quite astounding. I knew some people were more sensitive to radiowaves/microwaves but I didn't think it would go as far as being able to distinguish them. I wonder what influences this. Is it the eardrum? Makes me wonder if I'm...

I've been using v2023 SP5.0 a couple of days, and I've found a number of things that are wonky. Predominantly with respect to graphics. Dimension text that's backwards, mid-plane extrusions only displaying on one side, etc, etc, etc. I'm certain SWx would blame it on my graphics card, which is cons...

AlexLachance

you could insert the part into another part and have it insert bodies and then suppress the undesired ones for each part. There's a few ways you could proceed about this.

Where did you hear/read that..? Hopefully they get a few more things right.

I'm supposed to have a little phone call with OnShape with a little presentation of the new things introduced tomorrow. Eager to see what's new but doubt we'll be switching anytime soon.

I've mentioned it before, but I'm terrified of upgrading. How do I know what's broken in 2024 isn't going to be worse than what's broken in 2022? Hell, I don't even know if SP5 is going to be less problematic than SP4. I know, I feel the same way. We upgraded from 2019 to 2023 or else we wouldn't h...

That's a nice product Alex! The render is a bit strange, specially the "inverted" shadows under the tires... Thanks and nice catch, I did not notice that! We did it on Visualize and they're pretty much the first renders we do on Visualize so it's most likely something on our end we did wr...

Here's one we did for a Tilt trailer that will be on display at a show in New York. It's a bit "offset" in the screenshot. image.jpg We'll be doing a bit of rendering in the near future so that sales and aftermarket can have manuals and other things of that nature but that's about as much ...

Hey everyone,

Since moving to 2023, every view I create has crosshairs added to the circles on the view. Anyone know which setting I need to toggle to stop this..?

This is an exercice to see if the student is able to notice the projection error if my memory serves me right. It is made intentionally to confuse the user to see if he can notice the mistake within the drawing from the little knowledge he has so far about drawing projections.

AlexLachance

I remember this exercice in school, a mind twister for the beginners

AlexLachance

IT policy at the time. Servers every 5 years.......engineering user PCs/laptops every 3 and general office users every 4. Old PCs and server would replace older test PCs and server. Oh you have test servers, dang! We change a quarter of the workstations in the engineering department every year and ...

AlexLachance

This I'm not finding to be true in all cases. Our PDM servers for example, we have one DB server and 3 replication servers. Then two development/test servers that are both DB and Archive each. Before moving them to Azure, We replaced the 4 production servers every 5 years at around $5000 each. The ...

What is the point of this? Is everyone in the company going to start doing CAD..?

Do you know the program or are you just trying to guess? Every assumption you made here is wrong.

Because it will get lost in the swamp and noone will really vote on it next year if it's lost so might as well hold on to it.

I'll be happy to do that next year, if you will remind me when it gets to be that time. The chances of me remembering are pretty close to zero, in spite of my best efforts.

I'm late to the party but something that just came to mind that I've wanted for a while was the ability to be able to move the connecting line of a detail view with it's detail profile to place it as desired. Currently the line is always lined up with the center of each. If I could place each end as...

AlexLachance

Good to go-ish. I haven't encountered anything major. There's still some little graphic issues but they aren't major, just somewhat annoying. The language bug is still present but that won't affect you since you're running the english version and not La-Version-Française

AlexLachance

Hey ari,

I believe you aren't using the flat pattern, rather you are flattening your folded part. There is a flat pattern generated automatically with every sheet metal. Do you have images or a file?

Hey Toby, happy new year mate.

AlexLachance

There will never be enough "new features" to ever justify a 23% increase. Even when Solidworks added Multibodies in a Part file, and that was a HUGE deal, it would not have been worth the price increase. That they are forcing all new purchase licenses that they have get 3 years maint. Tha...

Not sure if this was mentioned anywhere or not, but there is a licensing bug with standalone licenses in 2024 SP0.1 when doing an upgrade from 2023 or earlier versions. For those who don't know, SW calculates the so called "hardware ID" from network card MAC address, CPU ID, hard drive ID...

Prior to using PDM to perform these conversions, we actually had a custom add-in that output everything to a common directory on a server. This did require the engineer to run it and export these files when it was "done". It allows the user to select multiple file formats to export from t...

Sounds cool but I'm a bit skeptical like others. I'll be waiting for the video demonstration.

Thanks Alin, I did look up a few of the ideas but I await a list like yours every year, I find that the platform just does not do a good job at putting up front the deserving ideas leaving the user having to go through them one by one which can be quite time consuming.

I agree that it's bad. Not sure I was say "unusable" I'm used to other systems that prompt "multi-tasking" (do other stuff while it loads) so this isn't unusable. I'll keep using the forum though. When it comes to sharing my opinions I can be very persistent. ;) So far this week...
