LOL!!! I know!!!!!
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Never found a "help" function that was any help yet.
I use help all the time.TO JOG MY MEMORY.LOL!!!! To find out an answer to a question though "help" usually is HELPLESS.

Well Mastf I took your challenge and drew up my cv cup. I think Im quite pleased with myself!

I agree with you guys though, I spent a couple of hours wading thru the tutorials and learnt 50 times as much doing this simple diagram.

I really do like this program, theremight be better ones but I actually 'know' stuff about this one now... hoo hoo.

Looks good Artie!

My only complaint about solid modeling is that its great for illustration, but not worth a dime for design.

I still think that 2D is the quickest way to design most things.
Maybe 30 years of doing it this way is part of my problem, but I will say this.
I work with 30 designers, and 27 of these are using some 3D program. Solidworks, Catia, Unigraphics. (whatever our customer requires)
Most of the these designers have autocad running in the background, and use it (2D) for working out portions of their designs before modeling in 3D.

Yah what Rick said.....  I wasn't saying that the Solid isn't good, just that if you need to calculate stroke, travel, linkages, ratio's, it is easier to come up with the numbers off of 2d first.

With alibre you can do 2 or 3D on the same program and change at will between the 2.

Yep. The trouble engineer and myself have seen is that the internal pockets don't show in the drawings.I may just not know how to make it happen.

I have just recently needed to send a dxf file and saw the pockets not show.I'm researching that tonite or tomorrow.

I would suggest, politely as I can, if they do indeed do it that way, they don't know how to use eg solidworks very well at all.

I'm no CAD guru - self taught, but I can do everything you described in SW 2D mode just fine....

I found how to make the internal pockets show. I wa too dense to see it but it's right there in front of you IF you know where to look. Anyone interested in how?
