Hello Ryan , hope you're doing great. I am learning C3D but on this very video, the surface was created in another video that is hidden 😭 , Is there a way you can unhide it please
And also Mr Ryan if there's a way you can share the point files for this surface or share the e book (Civil drafting Technology 8th edition) I will be so graceful.
I have a problem with l]surface labels. Model space and paper space 1:1000 I can see the labels in model space but they are too small in paperspace. Any ideas?
using the excel table is more convenient. I have made a model of car key with around 4k configurations. thanks to solidworks for this feature. it saved a huge time of mine.
at 1:18, I seem to be missing the "Bearing over Distance" option or any other. I just have "Standard" available. Is this something that has to be loaded somehow? Note I'm working in my own drawing, not any tutorial drawings.
When you were suppressing the tabs on the bottom using "configure feature", would it be possible to only suppress the "Boss-Extrude3" operation in order to remove all of them from the model? In this example you suppressed the LPattern first and then the Extrude.
I hate both the Inventor Drawings and Autocad Layout Tabs, They're Both just horrible. After almost 50 years of this crap you'd think they could make it a little easier to use. I know it sounds stupid, but I prefer to export the line Drawings from Inventor and just finish them in the Model Tab in AutoCAD. I Don't care that I lose the Association with the model. Every time you use the model to drive anything, it changes all the Drawings anyways, so you still lose all of your history either way. People underestimate how much faster and easier using regular 2d cad can be for 99% of what you need Cad for. Everyone always tries to push for 3d. But for anything where you're using 2d templates, which is like 99% of Material Processing. It takes 25 Times as long to lay out the profile of the part, constrain everything and dimension everything, only to convert the fully constrained 2d into a 3d part, which you then need to convert back into 2d for the Drawings and Documentation, which you still can't use most of the time with other 3d party software, so then you still have to export it back into a 2d format again to use for any type of Cutting machinery like Burn Tables, Lasers, Plasma Cutters, etc... It turns 1 easy step into 4 or 5 much slower, harder steps. And in Most Cases, you still end up in 2d CAD when you're finished. I love Inventor and Solid Works, but people always forget just how powerful and efficient plain old 2d AutoCAD is. It's still the better choice for most businesses, even though everyone tries to upsell them and make their lives more difficult. I use both, and they are both amazing tools. All the Real Engineering needs to be done in 3d. Weights, Centers of Gravity, Interferences, FEA, etc... But when it's time to get to work and actually start cutting parts and building something, nothing beats good old 2d AutoCAD.
Hi Ryan, great video! Just a quick question: what if you wanna create a motion study of all configurations in a row resulting in a video of the object growing in size - is it possible to do?
When I try to select a contour it selects the surface which is all the contours. When I have the label command active, I can't select a contour, it shows a horizontal line like I missed the contour. When I explode the surface, then I can select one contour but it won't label it because it lost the surface elevation. I have searched a lot but can't find the answer. Please advise. Thanks, Jerry
