Inventor | Sheet Metal Folded Edge Bug
As you may recall, I had put together a model of the M13 Ammunition Linkage for a GrabCAD user, and as a result found a problem. I could not reference certain edges that were folded in Autodesk Inventor Sheet metal, but were by all accounts just simple bends.

I had constrained latches of a door in the door assembly, and then reversed my build and snapped the cut edges off the latch in the [...] ...Read the rest of this article...
Civil 3D – Rotate/Translate selection of Points
In Land Desktop rotating a selection of points was a piece of cake. Well….if you had Lisp code, and we had tons of it. Since writing about solutions (and actually solving them) takes more time that writing code, my group doesn’t really have a great deal of new code turned out, and use mostly native AutoCAD/Civil commands and features. I’d love to finish .NET’ing all my old LISP, but I just don’t have the time [...] ...Read the rest of this article...
