If you want to realize symmetric stretch keeping keyway center no change and the length of smaller diameter shaft changes with stretch at the same time, how will realize that?1. Add Stretch for Step Shaft: Add stretch parameter and action for step... Read More

Take the step shaft as an example, if we stretch the left part of the step shaft and the keyway still is at the center point of smaller diameter shaft after stretching. As the following picture shows:   Then, we use the “Distance Multiplier”... Read More

There is an easy way to realize the two-way stretch which is adding two stretch actions. Though it can realize a two-way stretch, the action of stretch is independent. The parameter needs some additional setup to realize the two-way symmetrical... Read More

For mechanical design, we often need to stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize the accurate stretch.1. Pick Linear Parameter: In block editor, pick the linear parameter, then click the entry frame which is on the right... Read More

Dynamic Block Creation (Linear Stretch) For example, during mechanical design, we often need to change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add a Linear stretch function for the keyway on the step shaft.1. Add... Read More

When you use the "roughness symbol block" to label the spare parts, the symbol is sometimes already in the right position, however, the characters' direction is not right. We need to add the "character flip" function to receive the correct label... Read More

  Command name: DWGCONVERT Converts one or a bunch of selected drawing files to an older or current dwg version available. The newly generated file can overwrite the original file, and it can also be compressed into a self-extracting EXE file or... Read More
