3d for suction systems

[ECCLETO]

"...I had imagined a sort of buttonhole with the various components: you know there is a sw that can do it because among the many speeches and sw proposed, I have not yet understood? "

Excuse me, but do you know the common autocad blocks?
you know that you can define a block and assign to the same a number of attributes?
Do you know that you can build any kind of menu? both 3d components, and 2d symbols? callable to video or keyboard?

these last statements of yours "short the terms of the discussion" and it seems superfluous to talk about comparisons with parametric sw when your variables are reduced to the elongation or shortening of the straight tube section and the rest is a "mounting" of components one behind the other drawn from a library.

I do not know enough about the blocks and their potential. but for example I created a block of a tube d.300 l=1000 3d and I save it as a block, then I see that if I open the block itself (I'm using autocad 2012) a window opens "block creation slips". Now if you imagine I have to make a d.300 line I will do nothing but insert from time to time the block of my tube, but if the tube you want from 500mm in diameter, what should I do, redesign another block or you can parametrate that from 300 from the block? i.e. you suggest to create many blocks for each component we say to families (block pipes, block curves etc) or should you really draw all the diameters of each one?
It forgives my ignorance, but at least so I understand. Thank you.

very nice hunter, I imagine sw is fantastic, I also looked for some cadmatic videos, in fact that could be the top for us planters, but probably as we said yesterday, claim to run the f1 without even the license. Meanwhile I try to do some "guide" courses and free time tutorials, perhaps in the meantime also as suggested by marco, I can solve and improve also with autocad, without going to look for who knows what.
I am still convinced and determined to find some improvement solution and raise at least a little the level of technology we are using, otherwise in a while we return to the tecnigraph... :

The second video is solid edge!

however they are results that you can get with any modern mechanical cad, whether inventor, solid edge, solidworks, creo, etc etc.

Well, come on, I think you got it. Now you have to decide, according to the management, the technical time of the investment. If they are "short", i.e. if you think you buy new licenses falling within the year, you can, in my opinion, put the autocad speech and the blocks with attributes. it would be time wasted because then when you switch to new systems, what if you say, nothing of the previous material will be reusable. you can only reorganize the material to make it more accessible at the next stage of conversion with the new cad system you decide to adopt.
If on the contrary it should not be possible for your company to invest in the short period, then to improve it will be necessary to reorganize the libraries better using the blocks with attributes. I used them in the past but for the work I did in traditional mechanics I never particularly estimated them. . .
Unfortunately with these moonlights it is not always so obvious that companies can afford at the end of the year to invest, as order of magnitude, on the 10k€ posting cad. between software licenses, hardware, courses etc... There are always illegal routes, and companies that run through them I have had the bad luck to know them closely. Fortunately, I had little to do...
However a healthy company that keeps us working well and for a long time is sure that it does not think at least about this type of path! It's a risk that you never should face.
a greeting, soon
