Dowel through middle panel

Hello

I made a dowel component which connect 2 shelves and middle panel. Whatever I do, dowel is not in correct position. Second side hole depth is wrong and dowel have to be more out of the middle panel.
Any ideas?

Re: AutoCad font to TSW

Hello

I have to be a more precise with that :) I checked with Verdana and Calibri is also good. In PDF all good, but in AutoCad 30% longer. When I use expansion to make text shorter, then PDF and AutoCad are different.

AutoCad font to TSW

Hello I have a customer who have to make drawings exactly same type as others do in AutoCad. Mostly all things are fixed, but the font is AutoCad specific. They are using Romans.shx and it looks good everywhere. When I use Romans through TopSolid, then it's different - more narrow and not readable i...

Re: parameter for predefined positions

Hi there. All fittings have to be simplified to have more PC power for real job. Years ago I made nice screw with hexagon head and 100 screws in project made TopSolid very slow. Then I made new screw without 3D body, just a text in assembly and 10 000 screws are nothing. Hinges.. redesign them. And ...

I've seen several libraries which are made by 3-5 users and usually its a big bess. Public components, my components, some extra things and finally it's a mess. If Yo...

Re: The first machining face was revert when nesting

Hello To avoid empty machinings, I am using pre-defined components from library and they are always forced to machine only right way. To make them correctly, then I do one hole into corner and checking machining under part definition to have it only right way in machine. When it's defined, then I de...

Re: Predefined Draft

Looks like You like to get something what TopSolid dont offer. It's not possible to make views-sections of product + detail drawings automatically into same document. Make a good predefined draft with views, BOMs and sections and when it's done, then generate detail drawings with multidraft template...

layers

Hello

Any ideas, how to lock layers bar? Every time when I open TopSolid, then this bar is changing his size. Sometime 5, sometimes 6 rows, but I like to have 2 rows all the time.

Re: BOM export Excel template

Put Your TOP_col1 to A10 for example. Then rows 1-9 will be empty.

Re: BOM export Excel template

You can put those cell names everywhere in Excel. They don't need to be side-by-side. You can skip some columns for math things etc. I have temaplate where named cells starts from row 10. Upper area is for project data and company logo.
It's very nice tool.
