.DWG files down???
Ed,
Do you have the .dwg files offline for a reason? I can't seem to access the AutoCad files with .dwg extensions. Are there times you take them offline so you can work on them???? Also, on some of the icons for the parts you list a Part Number (P/N); where are these numbers from??? Who's Part Numbers are they? |

I'm not sure why you are having trouble with the .dwg files. I downloaded a few and everything seems ok. I never disable files so that's not it. I use explorer.
Those models with part numbers have data sheets or catalog pages attatched. Click on the drill motor thumbnail for example, and the manufacturer's data sheet will display in a seperate browser page. |

SolidWorks
Ed,
Team 217 uses SolidWorks to do all of our design (mainly because my company supplies engineers to the team and we have about 30 seats of SolidWorks at the student's disposal). The point of this post is that SolidWorks can read the inventor, SAT, Parasolid, ACIS, Unigraphics, and ProE files well. So you have the SolidWorks people covered. If you need any assistance in uploading parts, we have many small parts items modeled in SolidWorks and we can save IGES, STEP, ACIS, Parasolid and STL. If you need any help, just yell. -Paul |

Re: No trouble found

Seriously, I tried to click on the link to get the .dwg and the .dxf files and kept coming up with an error message. I first thought it was the way your website was set up, maybe the files were offline or something. But it turns out it wasn't your site or even my browser, it's my ver. of autocad. I'm using ver. 2000i and apparently this version of autocad which touts itself as being I-net compatible has a serious flaw (big surprise)! lol It dosen't let me open .dwg files directly from the I-net but everytime I want to do that I have to manually type in the URL of the file into the "Open" dialogue box in Autocad and then it works. This as I stated before REALLY SUX!!!!! If anyone knows of a patch for this blatent AutoCad problem please let me know. Thank you in advance! |

Re: Solidworks
Thanks to all of the SolidWorks "Testers". It sounds like we're good to go with that community. How about those other platforms out there?
Paul, I would be happy to host any models that team 217 would like to make "public" in fact, I would like to make an appeal to all teams that are willing to share some or all of their models. Just send them to me via email. I'll run the files through a virus check (not that I don't trust you but stuff happens), verify accuracy, translate, and post. STEP files seem to work best for me given the apps that I have but I could also accept Inventor(V3), ACIS, IGES, and DXF. It would be great to have a "complete" library so that we can concentrate on using CAD to design our 'bots from day 1 rather than having to spend so much time generating models of parts. If you send in models, please provide the author's name and team number so that I can give credit where its due and by all means, be sure the author gives his/her premission to post their work. The kickoff is right aroung the corner, lets be ready ....... BTW I'll be in Kokomo for the kickoff ..... got some canned possium and grits for Andy to try out. ![]() |
