CAD software is far from being conventional 3D software; I don't think its a duplicate – Wolter Hellmund Nov 6 '11 at 20:10

How to enable Inventor 2010 Libraries for the content center on Inventor 2012 (Educational version) ?
added by Wolter Hellmund Nov 6 '11 at 20:08

If they're custom libraries you should be able to migrate them over. – RJay75 Apr 13 at 14:24
Yes I noticed, the problem is that these are not custom - they are the Inventor 2010 Libraries. – Wolter Hellmund Apr 29 at 19:14

What is the best way to trace an outline? Splines?
added by Eiyrioü von Kauyf Apr 13 at 2:11
link|flag
Depends on what you're tracing. Typically when I'm tracing something I project a series of points. If I know the points belong to an curve I can't easily measure a radius for I use a spline. Lines for straight edges and arcs for radial curves. Then combine them to form closed loops. – RJay75 Apr 13 at 14:22

What is CL in this case? – Jonas Dec 10 '11 at 9:19
CL is "Center-Line" Cutting terminology. – Dave Dec 14 '11 at 17:30
My experience has shown that most CAM options for CAD systems have multiple CL-File output formats. – Dave Dec 14 '11 at 17:32
