timesaving tips

basic bases condensed in a few minutes :mixed:
and yet there were things like repeating parts led by feature that I didn't know :tongue:

Thank you!
there is always something you do not know and you can learn!

What strange... do not speak of multibody lemiere:36_6_4:. . .
I think they don't know what fish to take.

mah, I am not considering them at least as I think they are fast to create but also very "fragile" already in their way of existence. creating dozens of flat repetitions in one part and managing them properly is not easy even if the function is as fine as you should. Surely this management will weigh enough to make me avoid using them.

Unfortunately the problems are also on pieces designed with previous versions:
I have a sheet, for convenience I designed it as a single sheet and in the end, in the flat repetition, I separated it, result: with the 2010 version gives you an error and you have to delete the "technical" cut and resume the object to cover
to this not retroactivity.
I have hundreds of pieces that I will have to change as soon as possible.
another bug, native, is that it does not manage multibody, in theory yes, but in practice
It is not reliable, at all (beam lines absent, wrong colors, undisposed bodies.... )
you have problems even only with two components, unacceptable after that
based sales on this new feature.
This version is the worst for the sheet, I was ill-used to do
all in a single part,avoiding axioms, but after the first tests we decided that the system is unreliable and then we will continue to use a sheet for file. sin.

This version is the worst for sheet metal... .

I guarantee there was much worse... .

I know... I use the sheet since 2001.... (addition did not even see the instruments until completion)...:36_1_28:
but after 2007 and 2009 I expected a much more performing step forward.

Sorry a question: I watched the video of the references. but it seems useless enough to me: ok save the references on the screw, but what sense does it have to work only if in the meantime I also have to define the references on the flange? I'll reuse the vine twice, but the plate is not.

There's something like this:
[youtube]xsxsaje-ayo[/youtube]I wonder why it's gonna take me seriously to start with swx, and then I'd like to find something more performing in this respect.

it is not necessary to save anything on the flange. Just drag the screw to the circular edge.

I didn't understand, in the video he showed the need to save the same set of "fittings" both on the part to be inserted and on the target one.

do you refer to the fact that you press the alt key and select the circular edge of the screw? "smartmates" if I don't remember badly? But I couldn't save that bond in the part and then swx will "light" it automatically when I insert the part?

and then the thing only applies to files from the toolbox or even those I generate manually?

Now I haven't installed swx under my hand, though if you can do better like this, as soon as I have the cad, I'm studying the function.

p.s., on the other hand, I found very interesting the possibility to create sub-axis that only live in the file of the assieme father, and that they are not actually saved on the hard drive as separate files, I go to ask on the American forum if it does.

just use the mating rules and screw from the circular edge lying on the base. As soon as you move the screw with drag&drop on a circular edge, it takes concentric and coincident alone.

I think I understand. I'll let you know. Thank you for now.
