    I think what I'll do is make the next (shortened) rib from scratch to try some of these things rather than modify this file and carry along any junk I've created. Now that I know more about what I'm...

    You're right about the routing of gussets. If there is glue or a nail sticking out the roller follows it perfectly.

    I checked to see if the trim was being done after the mates and it is at the...

    I like your idea of using configurations. It will be really good for all my drag wires. I have some versions of this rib which might be easier to create that way also. Creating the straight sticks...

    I've also made separate files for each of the parts in the rib. I've used the WACO part numbers for all the parts. Most of the parts in the WACO NINE wing are the same parts used in the model TEN. ...

    This is great. Thanks for the help!

    I'll go work on the hot keys which I use a lot in both TurboCAD, CoreDraw, and my embroidery digitizing software. I'll see if I can explain some of these...
  6. Things I wish I could do sketching in SolidWorks

    After using TurboCAD almost daily for 21 years there are little things I wish SolidWorks could do as easy as TurboCAD to speed up the sketching process. I Like SolidWorks but I'm spoiled.

    I'm...

    I'm going to copy this to a new posting about what I wish SW could do. I don't like getting messages about SW is Horrible. It Isn't!

    I'll work on a list and keep posting things as I encounter...

    Joe, I've started using SolidWorks after using TurboCAD daily for 21 years. I love the ease of use of TurboCAD (hate AutoCAD) and struggle with the sketch concepts in SolidWorks. At the same time...

    Cory has been working with Dassault Systemes. They release an update for the Student edition once a year in May so schools can update their software over the summer break, that's why it's the...

    TB,

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    There are some useful new features in 2017. I agree that I find plenty of help available on line and for free I don't expect any help from a VAR. At the same...

    Cory, On the SOLIDWORKS Resources tab, under Community, Technical Alerts and News, there is a list of available updates for the software. There doesn't seem to be a way to set the software to...

    I don't know if 2017 is fully released but there are service pack updates I could make if I knew how to get them to download without going to a VAR.
  13. How do we get updates to the Student - EAA maker Edition

    The software shows service pack updates available but the link says you need to contact one of their VARS to get the updates or the 2017 upgrade. They don't even know we exist or anything about this...

    Cleaning postings and photos

    Chad,

    I'm sure there is a way to clean up that mess but I was so upset when I saw how it displayed I just gave up. I have problems like this with the BlogSpot software also and got pretty good at...
