Hi Mr. Lochan,
Sorry to be late on the reply but I have been at school meetings starting early today and then a trip to the doctor to have him tell me that I am old guy but healthy. :) I will go through the install process once again following carefully your details. I thought I did that the same way as you described but I could be wrong because I did many things yesterday so I could have messed it up. Exciting events for our science academies here in Las Vegas, so I am going to be real busy this coming year. All worthwhile things to donate my time to. Your program will be demoed here at this science academy and maybe at the UNLV university if I can interest Professor Darrell in it. He teaches Mechanical Engineering here at the college so I'm pretty sure he will have an interest in this and others that I will show him. First I have to get it running so I will do that install over again. Bye for now.
Hi Mr. Lochan,
Yes Sir, I'm still learning many things and I hope the best things to learn are still ahead of me. As an old guy and being retired no for several years my whole retirement life has been dedicated to the youngsters in our schools. It keeps me off of the streets and away from the TV which I no longer watch. There is too much work to be done. Tomorrow at 7am we have our first Curriculum Advisory Committee Meeting for this school year. I have to try and unite industry with our science academy schools with ongoing help and aid. It is not an easy job but very necessary to get industry to invest in the younger generation.
I have downloaded and installed the freeCAD program you wanted me to look at. It will not start up by itself because it cannot find the file directory. I'll play with it some more tomorrow if I get the chance. I am studying right now a plug in for SketchUp for our Engineering and Architectural courses some of our kids are taking. It is basically an analysis program for green building designs using SketchUp. Very interesting software. Your introductory video was nice and if I can get the program to run I will give it a go as the British say. Can't go anywhere unless I can start the car. :) Well I'm going to get cleaned up and ready for tomorrows meeting. Take care my new friend. We will talk. Bye.
I would love to go take a test drive with the FreeCAD program. You must excuse this old man. I'm still trying to learn how to use these new web sites. Did I respond properly this time? I hope so. I guess I can find FreeCAD with a search. Thanks for the tip. I am reviewing a few programs right now for this school year so I will get to it soon. :) Bye.
Frank,
pulling up to and limiting the pull length are two principally different things, as in an up to scenario, with the trajectory curves being longer than needed, the end face would take the shape of the face or body it is pulled against. With a…

That sounds like a good research project... but hard to find a development-worthy business model to justify. I am open to comments on that side....

Charles --
I would be surprised if Fill points were any different from Repairing Split Edges... since the underpinnings are the same.
When Fill fails it is sometimes the result of tolerant edges on imported models. Try going to the Repair tab and u…

Thanks for the additional details.
-- You can today Pull between points in the Pull tool and turn on Blend (I know this is a little bit of a stilted UI) to get 3D spline editing. Show the "Take Off Vectors" and you can make a spline, whose co…

We didn't add any type of "Ground" or "Fix" function, true, but as a workaround you can align an origin in a component to the World Origin and stop the "flying away"

I just wanted attach a video to this post.
In the video, initially I have tried moving the piston in a linear motion, but the mechanism didn't worked.
Then I rocked the Link where I got satisfactory motion of the links, except that I wanted the Cyli…
Hi Frank,
I was just trying out some mechanism, but faced the same issue which was a concern for Assembly design in SpaceClaim. There is no option to define a component as a fixed (non-moving) component, so the parts in the assembly tends to fly aw…
