I spend a lot of time creating assemblies from parts. The default "select" is the object but mostly I want to move/align components (object in its box). If I choose select component the software always seems to revert back to select object. Therfore I find I periodically miss this and accidently move an object, causing all kind of chaos in other assemblies using the same component. Is there a way to make select componet the default or sticky ?  

The Screenshot and My PC specs are below. Wiondow 10 home version I updated the graphic driver, and reinstall the DSM software.   Please help me.

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on designing a custom enclosure for an automotive diagnostic device. Given the rugged environments these devices operate in, I'm aiming to design an enclosure that is both durable and ergonomic. I'm using DesignSpark Mechanical for the CAD modeling and would appreciate any advice on: Material selection suitable for automotive environments, design considerations for heat dissipation, ensuring ease of assembly and maintenance. If anyone has gone through a similar project, your input would be greatly appreciated!  References: https://www.ancel.com/blogs/news/use-diagnostic-vehicle-code-reader https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/industry-articles/six-steps-for-designing-a-custom-3d-printed-electronics-enclosure/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAjmVMYUelA

Hey all, I’m working on a mechanical design project that involves developing a housing for a compact car diagnostic module. I’ve already prototyped the enclosure in DesignSpark Mechanical, but I’m running into challenges making sure the internal layout and external connectors align perfectly with actual diagnostic device requirements and workflows. To better understand how these devices function and how they are used in real-world scenarios, I’ve been digging through resources, which offers good insight into the tools and what technicians expect from them. My goal is to design an enclosure that not only fits all internal components snugly but also provides good thermal dissipation and allows for easy access to the OBD interface. I’m wondering:  Are there any best practices for mechanically designing around standardized automotive electronics (like OBD-II interfaces)? How do you approach tolerances and mounting in plastic vs metal enclosures in automotive environments? Any tips for syncing DesignSpark files with electronic component layout tools (e.g., from the electrical team)? Appreciate any insight or examples from folks who’ve worked on similar projects!

Hello DesignSpark forum community.Why is the surface dotted after using the Shell tool?I want to convert it into a solid body. How do I do that?Thank you. x

２つのオブジェクトがあります。同じ直方体です。そのうち１つは角度を傾けています。こういう角度がズレた２つのオブジェクトを完全に一致させたいのですが、どうすれば可能でしょうか。ご存じでしたら教えてほしいです。 すみません。スケッチ平面→回転させたい分だけ円弧を描く→移動→アンカーポイント→パスに沿って移動→円弧を選択してB面からA面までマウスでドラッグ　という方法でできました。 マジで面倒すぎる。 こんな面倒なことしないと角度ズレの面どうしの整列って無理なのでしょうか。 有識者さん、プロフェッショナルな方、もっと簡単で確実な方法をご存じないでしょうか？  

細かそうなソリッドに対し、スケッチ面にエッジなどを投影しようとすると 固まってしまう。防止もしくは避ける方法はありますでしょうか？

バージョン5.0からバージョン6.0にアップデートしたら、それまで入れていた有料の図面編集パック（拡張モジュール）の機能が使えなくなっていました。復活させる方法を知りたいです。

If I add a radius to the 38/53.74 ellipse edge the dimesions drop off. Ok so they really do but if you are machining this you will use the ellipse as its needed then add the radius. I could just have a txt note for the radius but then it is not on the stp files used for CAD/CAM. Anyway I can keep them ?  Note I've not finished dimensioning this part.

Is there a file in the install folder that can be edited to export STL files directly to bambu studio instead of Ultimaker Cura. If not, can this be added in the next update as this has not worked since the new version anyway.

打开软件就提示“Designspark Mechanical在注册过程中发生错误”， 我选择否就退出，选择是就让我输入用户名和密码，输入后依然提示“DesignSpark Mechanical在注册过程中发生错误”，如此循环，我该怎么办？ --------------------------- When I open the software, it prompts "An error occurred during the registration process of DesignSpark Mechanical". If I choose "No", it exits. If I choose "Yes", it asks me to enter my username and password. After entering them, it still prompts "An error occurred during the registration process of DesignSpark Mechanical". This cycle continues. What should I do?

In order to free up an install license from DSM, is all you have to do is uninstall the program from the pc it's on to free up the license? In the near future I will have to upgrade to Windows 11 on my current most used pc and that will require a new motherboard that supports TPM. I have some time before Win 10 is going to drop support although Microsoft will offer paid support of Win 10 if you want to pay and I think it is pretty reasonable. Just asking now to avoid license issues. Thanks, Dave

Hi, I want to cut the spiral partway through.I can cut the spiral all the way through, but I can't cut it partway through. Is that possible with Dsignspark mechanical?

標準スケッチモードにて、モデル断面でスケッチする時、モデルエッジをスケッチ投影すると頻繁にフリーズします。 対応方法ご存じの方ご教示ください。

添付の図形を描く手順を教えて頂けないでしょうか。 30mm×30mm×30mmの立方体を描いてから、不要な部分をプルで消そうと試みたのですが、途中でつまずいてしまいました。 よろしくお願い致します。
