Change border size

Inventor user here. How do I change my drawing from ASize to BSize. I know
there must be an easy way but after 20 minutes of searching playing with
formats and templates, still can't get it. Thanks.

 

Finally had enough eh Jim?

 

Jim,

Simply right-click Sheet Format in the Feature Manager pane and select
properties. Under Sheet Format/Size, Standard Sheet size pick B-Landscape.

Sorry to hear you had to use Inventurds.

 

Sorry to hear you had to use Inventurds.

Why do we have to stoop to this level people? I thought we were all
supposed to be professionals.

 

My mistake, I thought he was a former Inventor user asking a SolidWorks
question.
I didn't realize that my opinion of Inventurds was so professionally below
your, "Finally had enough eh Jim?" response. At least I attempted to help
the guy out.

 

JimL and I go way back to the IV newsgroup where we "barbed" with each other
a bit. It was a inside, tongue in cheek joke. It seems Jim has switched to
SWX. Good for him. Whatever works best for him.

My point is I thought we had gotten past the CAD pissing contest, past the
"my CAD is better than your CAD" point and could discuss things like adults.
Guess not.

 

Preventor, Pro/Goofy, SortaWorks.... they're all pretty apt from time to
time. Or was it the fecal reference? 8~)

 

"My point is I thought we had gotten past the CAD pissing contest, past the

this is almost exactly the same comment you made last time someone made a
tiny reference to Inventor...you really need to lighten up some Sean...you
are reading things that aren't there...there are a good natured bunch of
people who hang out here.

Neil,

I'm not uptight about it. I just would like to have a place where we can
discuss CAD as adults. I'm just a bit disappointed that it seems each time
I post here it seems we cannot do that. I'll withhold any further comments.

Regards,

 

Actually, IIRC, this NG is mostly geared towards SW.
Anyone use alt.cad or similar for other CAD systems that
don't have NGs of their own?

 

feel free to do as you please Sean
I hope you find a place to be an 'adult' and a 'professional' that meets
your exacting standards....personally I find that kind of strangely...well..
childish, but there you go....

Jeeze, OK I'm sorry I said anything...

 

Sean,

I think you will find that this group is very helpful, but sometimes quite
thin skinned. Most of the references to Autodesk products are pretty
negative in this group. Having been burned by them in the past, I can
understand why.

Glad to have you as a contributor, but you should expect ANY positive
references to AutoCAD, IV, etc. to get slammed pretty hard. Don't take it
personally, many SolidWorks users just have bad feelings towards Autodesk.

Hope you stick around, maybe we can get you to add "Certified SolidWorks
Professional" to tag line some day.

Thanks CADGuy. Well put.

Have a good weekend.

 

Sean,

No pissing contest here. Solidoesn'tWorks pisses me off from time to time.
Don't forget arguing on the internet is like running in the special
Olympics.... even if you win, you're still retarded.

This forum, for me at least, is a chance to shed the uptight corporate
America kiss-ass professionalism and kick back and shoot the bull with a few
other cyber CAD gurus, learn or be amazed by a thing or two, be entertained
by John Banquer, his alt.cnc clan and Cliffy, teach some noobs the basics
and grab the latest news. There's a lot of info, help and BS in here and
like any other internet forum, you have to grow some thick skin and welcome
some harsh sarcasm once in a while.

Inventor probably is a decent MCAD product now, but when I used it for a
while (R1-R3) I felt that it was junk and way behind everyone else, hence my
opinion.

 

Cool. No worries.

<whispers>I'll agree with you about R1-3 <g>

 

Oops now it flipped back to the standard title block. I was getting this
before. What's the trick for keeping my custom titleblock, just turning the
border from A to B?

 

Oh no not you again. Didn't you have enough of me over there!?!??!?

 

One look at your bogus website shows you talk out of both sides or your
mouth.

How about the slamming of Joe Greco probably because Joe knew
that Autodesk was often full of shit. Here is a quote about Joe by what
most likely is some Autodesk suck ass loyalist who has no fucking clue.

"While I often cited Joe as an example of what is wrong with the CAD media I
never wished any ill will upon him. I'm sorry to hear this."

"The Online Home Of CAD professionals" ?

Yeah right. Why don't you send the guy who wants to talk about VX over here
and at least he will get some honest answers rather than some half assed
bullshit and no response to his question. Here is the response he got to
his question.

"I requested a demo disk about a year and a half ago, I'm still waiting for
it to arrive" was posted by your "Forum Moderator" RonC.

Did RonC and yourself go to the Anne Brown school for newsgroup moderation ?

Jon,
I've started this post several times, and I just can't seem to find the
words to say how utterly reprehensible I find your comments to one of the
most highly respected members of the CAD community. Please, once and for
all, leave this newsgroup and never come back. Nobody wants you here.
