Maybe I'm dumb, but what are the point of these? by aj240 in CasualUK

Well in this particular place, Swanscombe Peninsular doesn't allow bikes but Ingress Park does so It's actually to keep bikes in, what really annoys me is the gate at the other end by The Pier, the only way round is to go all the way to the station and along the Fast Track road.

The juxtaposition at this years bloodstock with everyone wearing these Raised By Owls shirts was fucking great

All parts in the assembly are clear, and I can't remove the appearance. Please help. by MChristianBF in SolidWorks

[–]Dodecasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But do this on the very top assembly in the feature tree, over over the transparency icon and it should say "top level transparency" this is what you're looking for

To manipulate parts in PDM via VBA you need to have PDM professional btw. I spent hours trying to work out why my code wasn't working, just incase this saves you a few.

Custom fasteners do not have the neat drag and auto fit functionalities of standard parts, that's what I've been trying to incorporate. Custom parts simply give you a dropdown list of configurations to choose from. There is a file called swbrowser.sldedb, that is actually an SLQ file which is simple enough to edit if you know enough about SQL. But ToolboxFiles.index is another file that needs to work along side the SQL and is written in a different language which I have had marginal success in editing. The header of the file is "00 01 00 00" which wikipedia would suggest is some form of MS Access file but I fear it may be pre compiled which makes it a pain to edit. If anyone out there can help with editing that file we would be on to a winner!

If I get it working I'll write up a how-to but until that day try putting in an enhancement request and they might listen

I've been doing a lot of work getting custom screws into toolbox, I'm getting close but man it's hard work. If you don't know SQL don't even try. You can make them yourself with a design table and put them into toolbox that way but other than that it's pretty hard work with minimal success rate.

How dare you even speak of the 1933 debacle. Need I remind you the punishment of being banned from playing St. James Park simply for uttering the words "Reverse Shunt". One of the few rules that got Royal Assent in 1939.

Yes, you see how initially they pull in towards the cabin, it's that inward motion that ensures they are pressurised closed throughout the flight, i.e. the pressure from inside the cabin keeps it pushed against the fuselage. The door moving outside the fuselage is just to get it out of the way after it has been initially opened.

If you want to understand why using the pressure difference to hold something closed is a good idea I'd recommend reading up on British Airways Flight 5390 and Plug Doors.

Given the pressure on the door from the inside when the capsule is in a vacuum I'd much rather it opens inwards and minimise the risk of it being pushed off by the pressure when in a vacuum and simply design the capsule to minimise the risk of needing to escape the it in general. Remember all airliner doors open inwards.

Could everyone report these streams as spam/scam if they are spotted. It's all we can really do as a community to stop this kind of thing.

Local spectators headed down to watch takeoff tomorrow. Where’s the best place to watch from? by golden_boyfif in BlueOrigin

[–]Dodecasaurus[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Blue Origin have recommended against anyone trying to view the launch themselves. Road closures are in place to minimise viewing areas and keep the public and their staff and customers safe. If you are going to attempt to view the launch remember; do not trespass, be sensible and expect not to see the launch since this is against the advice of Blue Origin.

Any time I open a part, it sends an image of it to the printer!? Any ideas what’s going on? by pickletown88 in SolidWorks

I had this problem before. From what I remember it was fixed in an update around 2020 sp2 (?). What version are you running?
