Hi, I'm Trog Luddite (he he, even my mum calls me that), or Steve, if you prefer.
Great to see such an active forum, already you have answered many questions about SU - shame Google didn't think to be so thorough with the official documentation!
I have one small beginner's question...
I'm using SU at work for designing mechanical gizmos, all of which will use components (real world and SU!) from our store of standard parts.
I've already created some nice dynamic components to use as templates for all our fixing etc., and now have a local folder full of parts with attributes for our stock codes, stores locations etc. - and exporting a report to Excel really helps make sure that there are no missing screws on the BOM!
However, I am getting really irritated by the way that the component window insists on always searching the 3D warehouse. When I search for 'M3' I am looking for one of our stock metric fixings, not every warehouse model of a BMW sports car!! (I waste too much time, amazed at the skill of the people making such beautiful and accurate models!)
I don't want to disable SU's internet access completely, as the warehouse is indeed very useful (brilliant examples to learn from), I just want to be able to search only my local HDD collections, or at least have them appear first in the search results. Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks for all the help so far...
The Luddite
