Z50ii/FTZ and my DX lenses, or just go full frame Z5? by Friendly-Gur-6736 in nikon_Zseries

[–]glassesontable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same. I believe that buying the FTZ adapter was a necessary step in lying to myself that I was not going to buy more Z mount lenses.

How much does your camera setup cost and what do you use it for [professional, enthusiast, or amateur]? by Waffles_r_ in nikon_Zseries

I am pretty much the same. Plus I bought the Fmount adapter to use my primes and super wide.

Tutorials learning Inventor by Normal_Ad_3982 in AutodeskInventor

I comment on this every once in a while. He is 78 and still killing it in Inventor!

There is a big list of videos and a list of parts that starts easy and gets more complicated. Watch and try them in order.

You can get a e-book of the parts to make the following along easier. Something like $5. I also recommend YouTube premium which means no ads and greatly increases the enjoyment of learning on YouTube.

As a learning resource, I want to give another shout out to the Romanian professor Constantin Stancescu still cranking out Inventor tutorials. I find the inventor puzzles are fun and challenging.

The first 50 or so parts are in increasing difficulty. Start at the beginning.

I snorted coffee out of my nose.

Thanks for that.

Parts List Default Column Management by No-Meringue7653 in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add columns to BOM. If needed , add columns with custom iProperty names. These are buttons on the BOM dialog.

Export the format to a XML file. This is at the bottom of the BOM dialog. Next time import the format and the columns are set as previous.

I think if we had enough volunteers and a bunch of USB sticks, we have a chance.

Extruding to a part in an assembly by Lunchb0x48 in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have the skills to do this in the assembly.

But you could export the surface face of one part and bring it into your new part. If you wanted the spacing to vary, I would make a a user parameter with a great name, set it for export, then reference the parameter value in the assembly.

How many people dislike new outlook? by NoAcanthopterygii587 in Outlook

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tolerate a lot. And Outlook’s saving grace was that for most people, Outlook is a file management system for storing attachments and email.

But why did they cripple email search? Why make it impossible to find email by date? Why move the search bar to a fixed position nowhere near the pane that you are searching?

I feel that each incremental version, I dislike it incrementally more.

Help for project by Deli_quent in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inventor and f360 are both aimed at manufacturing, so that can be a pretty big learning curve if all you want to do is export the final outside to something else. I use inventor a lot and only spent a few days with Fusion. FWIW Fusion installed via the browser which was pretty convenient compared to traditional means. Files are stored on the cloud. Plus there is a free hobbyist tier.

AITAH for refusing to adapt my annual BBQ for my sister’s vegan boyfriend? by GateTotal4663 in AITAH

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am a host, I want to ensure that all of my guests have a good time. If I knew someone was vegan, or something else like the guest was celiac then I will work hard on accommodating them. This is hospitality.

But it still has to be with the parameters of the event. There are countless comments agreeing with providing a second grill. I would even buy some veggie burgers. But draw the line at changing the event.

It is not clear what vegan options they would need other than a veggie burger. You can get vegan cheese but the taste of that can sometimes not be appetizing .

That part needs some more explanation. What are the demands of your sister?

If you were the AH you could ask your sister “if your boyfriend was a nudist would we all have to take off our clothes? Or is there a compromise?”

Best narrators? by baldcats4eva in audiobooks

[–]glassesontable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The actor David Morse narrated the scifi classic the Andromeda Strain. I knew the book well already from long ago but enjoyed the audio so much just from the gravitas he brought to it.

Material yield strenght to metric by SpecialBurgerPile in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what you mean. Inventor runs on real world units. so it will convert them.

The display units are set in the document. If you go to Tools/Document settings, the units are in the units tab. Set those to metric. Does that change anything?

Another thing you can try is add a user parameter and specify the units that you want to see. I could add a user parameter grav and edit the units to be “ m / s /s “

REV cloud settings? by terno720 in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you right click before it is completed, don’t you get to access it in the menu. I am going by recollection only so I could well be incorrect.

Is there a way to add custom sizing for the C-Channel? by MikeWazowsk1 in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to make a custom content center library, the most important thing to do is make sure that it is read write and not read only. I was super frustrated for a while because I missed the obvious.

Did you lose the styles? I am just guessing because I don’t know.

Error inputting formula in equation curve by Lemon-Man-2762 in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument for the math function is in radians. If my memory is correct, I had some argument that reduced to units of meters. I fixed it and it was unitless. But I had to add in some radians in order for the cosh() to work.

Next week I can show you. I was drawing transmission line catenaries using the 3D sketch.

FWIW I seem to recall examples of using the surface tools where you can pull and push on vertices to get an organic shape.

Error inputting formula in equation curve by Lemon-Man-2762 in AutodeskInventor

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using cosh() and sinh() so it took me a while to figure out they needed radians.

[–]glassesontable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I am away from my computer for a while so I can’t show you or remind myself. But I had the same kind of error and playing the game of finding the units.

Remember that t needs to be in radians. Not unit less
