DesignSpark Foren

I have been using DesignSpark for about 10 years. I feel confident in designing parts for 3D printing model yachts. I recently updated both DesignSpark and Cura for slicing. I had trouble with DS in that for a few days I could not get a design into an STL file . I reinstalled and finally got back to designing parts..For the past week all my models are hollow and useless. Just once I found an option of converting the model to a solid( I think thats what it said )since then I cannot find it.I tried fill and that does not work the way I need it.I even pulled a simple cube and that is hollow. Selecting Solid in the structure column does not help.    

Hi all, I can't figure out how to use the "Upto tool" when I can't see both FACES of the components. Sure appreciate the help from someone who is smarter than I am. Thank you, Joe

An error (BFFF0015) occurs when retrieving oscilloscope waveform data in Labview. This vi originally controlled other oscilloscopes with GPIB. This time, when I replaced the oscilloscope and connected it via USB, this problem occurred. I can control the new oscilloscope with the test vi, so I don't think there are any problems with the connections or drivers. There is an error in the measuring instrument auxiliary part of the image. In Instrument Assistant, the command is a waveform: DATA? Is set to. In Clie's analysis, the timeout is set to 3000ms and the measured frequency is 100MHz. Probably the cause of the error is the wrong command. Please let me know if you have any commands or other solutions.

Hello and thanks in advance. I recently upgraded my pc to WIN11 64bit, reinstalled all programs from scratch, and have had no reactivation issues except DesigSpark. When I log in, it recognizes the data and password, but it does not let me update. It tells me "unknown error" Fill in all the spaces marked with (*). I hope someone has a solution and can help me. Thank you

Labviewでオシロスコープの波形データを取得するところでエラー(BFFF0015)が出ている状況です．このviはもともとGPIBでほかのオシロスコープを制御していたものです．今回，オシロスコープを新しくしてUSBでの接続にしたときに今回の問題が発生しています．テストviで，新しいオシロスコープを制御できているので接続やドライバーは問題ないと考えています．画像の計測器アシスタントの部分でエラーがでます．計測器アシスタントの中はクリエで解析でコマンドをWaveform:DATA?にしておりタイムアウトは3000ミリ秒にしており測定している周波数は100MHzです． おそらくエラーの原因はコマンドが間違っているのだと考えています．コマンドを教えていただきたいのと，ほかの解決策などありましたらご教授ください．  

I'm born in 1962, I was 17, and it was my first professional design project. The goal was to replace a relay-based control, with lamps and buttons.It consisted of a discrete SR flip-flop with 2 transistors, one logic SCR to latch the alarm condition, and a five or six input diode Or-gate, with an independent LED on each input for the alarms (missing bag, over-pressure, door open...)The multi-LED indicator was a significant improvement because in the relay-based version it was a nightmare to guess "what's wrong".I continued manufacturing those boards for almost 3 yrs. from 1979 to 1982, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Sorry, but I have no idea if I still have a picture because I moved from Argentina to Spain in 2002.

Good morning, I'm using DesignSpark PCB for a project, but we are two people working on it, each one on its side. So my question is : is it possible to work separately, and then merge our work, or at least see a list of change?

I need someone to help me with gerber file of this circuit  

i am busy setting up a new computer how do I reset my activations?

For those who have not already worked this out, here is my take on how to create spiral inductors / traces. There are good coil calculation programs available on the net to help with calculating the requred dimensions for your coils.

Hi, I drew some curves of the flat on side view and would like to go to a 3D model now. For some reason all but one of the components with curves are not going to surfaces, Any suggestions?

how do i reinstate my tree structure which has dissapeared from my screen

Hi Am having trouble figuring out how to create a flat spiral wire Imagine a 0.2mm diameter wire poking through the middle of a circulate plate Wire bends over 90deg to lay flat on plate Wire then needs to spiral outwards pitch ~2mm until reaches outside edge of flat plate   Hope this is clear Any help greatly appreciated    

When drawing a cirular icon appears (mini screen appears which has 4 tools icons) and is difficult to read the measurements and use the tools.  It has now split the screen into 4 sections and I can't return it to a single screen.

I used a calculator at https://evolventdesign.com/pages/calculators  to work out number of teeth, module and OD of the gears so it would fit in the parameters of my printer.  I wanted to draw up the gears in Designsparks using the pressuer angle method. The problem is the Basse Circule is smaller than the Dedendum Circule.  This cases the tooth to be shorter than the Addendum Circule.  My calculations are listed below and so is the drawing. Is there an error in my calculations or the application?            This is the result from the calculator from the website mention above
