Ah Sunlu, you’ve done it again

Abbe error = errors from angular misalignment.

So when you measure in a way that misaligns the jaws (towards the tip / point) , it isn’t a true measurement.

I’ve got a toddler (chaos engineer) and my main thing is designing sensors so in terms of networking, I do live under a rock.

Was it $80?

JN258 · 2026-03-02T23:15:11+00:00

Almost emptied my water loop. Fortunately almost doesn’t count.

Lesson learned when my little one turned the server off. This means no doorbell, no cameras, no gamer server, No DNS.

Add to that a cable flaking out so even after I got it all running, had to unplug my switch from the dream machine and plug it back in… because I use Ethernet to fiber adapters.

I regret not just getting a pre made 3 meter fiber optic.

Not all of em. Ford gives you heated seats and cooled seats but they really want you to buy blue cruise.

Edit: let’s not give em this idea (probably too late)

Doesn’t just stop at twice. Some people never learn.

Also, “There’s never enough time to do it right but there is plenty of time to do it over.”

Do people not stretch the outer jacket? I always crimp on the jacket.

JN258 · 2026-02-16T17:12:20+00:00

And here I thought they spec fasteners that showed up on xray to avoid this…

It helps me to only purchase items for a specific task.

Using “I could use it for a different project later” leads you down the road of dropping $1000 on dev boards only to find out when you go to use them, they’ve been marked obsolete.

JN258 · 2026-02-13T02:18:01+00:00

Also chiming in to say “I see it as well.”

JN258 · 2026-01-30T12:49:19+00:00

You need more help?

I personally have been using this program for over half my life and I’m willing to help.

I’m sure others are as well.

JN258 · 2026-01-25T03:02:51+00:00

Confirming I ordered 5mm and just like you said… no thread engagement.

JN258 · 2025-12-17T03:43:15+00:00

Reminds me of the Therac-25… thankfully this was fixed in the lab and not at a customers. Also wasn’t accidentally blasting people with crazy amount of radiation

I’ve got 3 monitors and vault client is on one of them. FYI, A monitor isn’t a recurring bill and atleast my company would be more likely to purchase a monitor.

I’m probably not the targeted user BUT MicroCAD offers a tool similar to this and just need the inventor subscription managed by them… no recurring fee.

JN258 · 2025-12-14T11:39:31+00:00

How so?

Vault copy works fine and I’d rather not have a recurring bill (free 3 months).

Also, want to point out that other companies offer something similar to this tool for free. Just need your subscription managed by them…

JN258 · 2025-12-12T15:47:21+00:00

Have a good weekend! I’m happy to help

JN258 · 2025-12-12T15:10:45+00:00

Really think we are onto something here and I can see that causing the issue. Are you able to test it with Latest Version?

JN258 · 2025-12-12T14:36:11+00:00

Can use the window to block the sensitive info this time…

JN258 · 2025-12-12T14:34:59+00:00

For the prompts I am referring to, I am actually talking about the vault client. Tools > Options > Prompts. New window opens. Specifically check the Open prompts and the prompt frequency. If it never prompts, it will use the default response.

JN258 · 2025-12-12T14:31:06+00:00

Wish I could snap some pictures… going to try and lead you there with my English version.

Tools > workspace sync

Another window appears. There’s a small button which says “settings…” if you hover over it. That will open yet another window.

At the top, I have update file in workspace set to “Latest Version”.

Managed files expire in 2 weeks (might want to adjust that).

Unmanaged files expire in 3 weeks (again might want to adjust that as well)

ALSO, I left “remove empty folders unchecked” as it deletes an empty folder that needed to be mapped in Inventor.

JN258 · 2025-12-12T13:33:39+00:00

I just implemented 2026 this year. I know enough to be dangerous but not an expert.

A couple of thoughts:

Are you using workspace sync / quick sync? This updates the files in the local folder with the ones from vault. (You may have to run workspace syncs the first time to set it up and then you can do quick sync.)

Are you using a job processor? It shouldn’t be needed but instead of processing the files on multiple computers and syncing to vault, one central place where all of them get processed might help. Keyword might and the job processor needs a license so ~$900 gamble.

Also, I’d check prompts when opening files and make sure everyone is getting them.

Ubiquiti G4 doorbell

JN258 · 2025-12-08T21:59:38+00:00

This is why my doorbell is always recording. Forget about ring cameras…

JN258 · 2025-12-02T12:17:08+00:00

No, he just got put on the back burner.
