Hi

Can anyone tell me the correct sequence for placing an elbolet in the 3D model?

The command promptad are not clear as to what input is required.

An example with screen shots would be very useful.

Sounds like cwx is having a problem trying to draw the component. check your data file.
The first thing that sticks out to me is you want a 3"x1" but the long description says metric.

Have solved the problem the data file should have a column for hub od, this draws the component correctly.

Hi,

Seems like I'm having the same problem, I build a custom part and when i try to insert it, I'll get the following;


3" BLEED RING 150#

Pick start point or [Length] :
Pick direction: *Cancel*


I dont understand the solution from ALEXR, can someone explain in detail if possible? following is my data file;


BLEED RING 150#
7.8000 G/CM3 DENSITY

("NOM SIZE" "OD" "WGT")
=======================================================
(3.0000 88.9000 20.0000 (0.0000 0.0000 0.0000)(38.1000 0.0000 0.0000) 1 )

From your datafile it looks like you have created a usershape for the bleedring. The reason why it does not draw can be any number of reasons.
