Fortunately, the use of 3D tools and remote meetings are addressing this challenge in the design process, but there are still downstream communication challenges with internal customers like [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/04/3dvia-composer-language-translation/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/04/coe-2010-2/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/04/coe-2010-2/#comments Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:31:50 +0000 Jonathan Scott http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=7395 Even if you’re not able to attend COE 2010 Annual Conference this year, join us for live updates from the event by following us on Twitter.  Razorleaf is also presenting at the event, and we are posting our presentations to www.razorleaf.com/coe2010.

Often the default properties such as texture, scale and location are changed for part, assembly or collaboration actors for various reasons. Fortunately, the original properties of the actors can be easily restored. ]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/03/neutral-props-3dvia-composer/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/3dvia-sync-and-automated-deliverables/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/3dvia-sync-and-automated-deliverables/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:00:36 +0000 Johnny Molica http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=6804 A common problem many companies face is the ability to have deliverable documents, like web images, catalogs, and technical illustrations, mirror their final product.  Because of the dynamic nature of design and engineering, it is often a struggle to keep this downstream output up-to-date without utilizing some type of automation. Using 3DVIA Sync ensures changes [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/3dvia-sync-and-automated-deliverables/feed/ 4 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/inspectionxpert/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/inspectionxpert/#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:00:47 +0000 Michael Craffey http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=6256 Whether you’re among the ranks of Engineering or Quality, creating inspection sheets can be a real pain.  InspectionXpert is a valuable tool for automating processes around inspection sheets, and worth a look if your industry requires documented inspections.  Nobody likes creating inspection sheets from scratch.  First there’s the duplication of effort in generating the graphics, [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/02/inspectionxpert/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/help-us-help-you/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/help-us-help-you/#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:27:33 +0000 Sean Kuner http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=5689 We regularly have clients ask us what information they should gather concerning a support issue, prior to calling the Razorleaf helpdesk.  So we thought it made sense to answer that question publicly.  Here’s how you can “help us, help you.”  There are a couple of key pieces of data we need for almost every helpdesk [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/help-us-help-you/feed/ 0 http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/positioning-geometry-actors-in-3dvia-composer/ http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/positioning-geometry-actors-in-3dvia-composer/#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:25:01 +0000 Johnny Molica http://www.razorleaf.com/?p=6192 If you’re a veteran CAD designer getting to know 3DVIA Composer, you’ve probably already asked yourself the question, “Why doesn’t this tool let me maintain my CAD assembly constraints?”  There’s actually a very good reason – they’re going to be more hindrance than help.  3DVIA Composer allows you to create and move geometry actors (parts and [...]]]> http://www.razorleaf.com/2010/01/positioning-geometry-actors-in-3dvia-composer/feed/ 0
