I've heard all about many different graphics programs and i wanted to know which one is the best? 3Ds Max, Maya, what? I have 5 grand and i'm willing to spend it all on a graphics program but i dont know which to get. Can someone help me decide which one to get - and possibly provide a link to the company's site that i can order it from.

View 1 Replies View Relatedif one decides to follow the Generator workflow, how would it be best to still take advantage of css sprites ? The new Generator workflow certainly has great potential for an improved workflow offering obvious time savings. I know the entire picture has not yet been filled with Reflow still being developed, but currently, what would be a great way to achieve the advantages of this workflow while still using css sprites ?
I guess a separate layer or file, would have to be created entirely for the sprites and used in Dreamweaver separately ? one can still include the sprite layer in the .psd file but simply not give that layer a file extension ? as far as i know Reflow does not support positioning images with css, the way one will in Dreamweaver for css sprites.
Google specifically recommends css sprites. Even if one adjusts the quality with the Generator output, you still end up with a bunch of images, each of which would be a request to the server. Seems that this method as compared to slicing, would potentially end up with even more images and hence a slower loading page.
As I am not good enough in the selection of colors for projects So I get ideas from some other sites and see how and what colors they are using.
Now I want to know that is there any other good color schemer available or I am using a good one, I searched internet but didn't get any good one.
How you use a color scheme for your projects? do u use any color schemer like these or you use any other technique.
I am interested in adding some other file formats to the newly added Generator feature in Photoshop CC, but where to start after looking at the installed scripts. I am also not the most experienced with this, so my lack of knowledge is probalby also blocking me
What I want to do:
- add TGA formats in 32 and 24 bit format based on the existence of an alpha channel
- change where the image assets are saved to be in the same directory as the psd, not one directory lower in [filename] - assets folder.
Have not had any luck adding TGA formats, again, unclear how to do this. Can see things happening in convert.js, however when trying to add a TGA entry to this, it fails (and deletes the assets folder)
Restarted and launched photoshop, checked for updates through CC App and Photoshop CC, but says it does not have an update.Would like to try and solve as I would like to get usingthe generator part in the update.

View 3 Replies View RelatedComing from a solidworks background, i frequently use weldments, or Inventor's equivalent - frame generator.

It seems to me that there is a major disconnect between using the Vault and using Frame Generator. When creating a frame using frame generator all the parts are automatically named by frame generator. It gives you a name such ANSI W8x13 00000001 for an I-beam for instance. As you create more components (I-beams in this case) the number on the end of the file name increases so you have 0000002, 00000003 etc. After I'm finished with the assembly I will check it into the vault.
The issue comes up when I go to create a new assembly a few days later using the same I-beam. The naming convention for the I-beam is exactly the same for the new assembly file. It will start over and give me a new ANSI W8x13 00000001 file. Now when I go to check it into the vault I get the "cannot check in due to vaulting restrictions" error because the two files have been named the exact same thing. It seems crazy that Inventor would be set up this way considering how vault works. The only thing I have found is that you can click the browse button and rename the file. This is a serious headache though because I have to come up with a unique name (or pre-fix) for EVERY part of EVERY frame that I generate. And lets just say it's not hard for me to create 100+ new parts a day using frame generator.
Aside of beams and so I could use some metal studs. Seems like there are not any.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe frame generator gives the wrong cut length (G_L) when using double end treatment "Trim and Extend to Face"
See attached screen shot: The correct length of the diagonal RHS should be 1852 mm after trimming the RH end to btm and rh member. As far as I remember this is an old problem never been fixed. Is a lot of work manually altering the cut length of 20-30 member in the BOM.
I use the Key Generator from the Design Accelerator and drag the red arrow to position the key under the gear.
Numbers change, and when i position the key they disappear.
There is no way to input a precise dimension. am i right?
I created a frame using 150 x 75 BS4 channel section in 2011/12 (can't remember which) however it was created before the BOM length fix (all lengths stated are not necessarily the lengths of the beams). In order to fix this I need to redraw the frame, which is fair enough, however I am unable to find the BSI standard channel section. In fact, BSI has seemed to vanish from my library completely, I can not even place a component from the BSI library.
I have had a look around the C:/Programdata/autodesk/inventor2011(or 12 or 13)/contenetcentre/libraries and have found parker, gost, DIN etc but no BSI. I have not used the frame generator/place component in 2013 yet so no idea if this was from install or not.
My skeleton has lost translation with my frame generator and has offset the sketch. I have tried "Edit with Frame Generator" but the peices seem to stay in place.

I've got a question about the key generating function in inventor.
I'm trying to design some keys in a shaft for a project in working on. In that design the steel alloy I'm using is important so that the design doesn't fail. The only problem is Inventor uses some unit called "Allowable Pressure" to perform this calculation. All the material data sheets I've looked at don't have a material property by that name. Is this a material property or perhaps something else?
Is there any way in standard inventor to find what sketch is related to a frame generator member?

Can i use frame generator and do subassembly using one of the member and still be able to stretch the frame?
will the subassembly stretch as well?
inventor 2011
vault 2012
Recently the company bought a single license of Inventor to test out and see if it meets our company goals and is efficient to use for what we do. I've been working with the frame generator, which is fairly easy to use and make the initial assembly, but I am having trouble and breaking out individual sections to detail.
I am stuck with using LOD for this platform, provide a general workflow procedure of the best way of creating assemblies and subassemblies.
What I am currently using Inventor is to build a condenser platform. Generally we like to weld as much of it in the shop before it goes to the field for final assembly. The platform consists of beam supports, grating, stairs, and handrail. In this case we would generally take sections of the handrail and weld in the shop, we would also have the stairs with the handrail welded on it as well. I would like to refrain from converting this to weldment.
I have tried promoting and demoting but this loses constraints and references. Also I cannot create a single skeleton of the whole frame at one time because a lot of the frame members depend on the other members structural sizes (flange width, height, etc.).
I've read of people creating multiple subassemblies and grounding them, but I would like to think that their has to be away that I could just build off of the base skeleton and not have to cycle through different assemblies.
