Run the ‘
SetShareddbStandard.exe
’ program and choose ANSI as the standard.
Now when you start PowerSHAPE, it should be in inch
es.
Master Model Step
:
The Master Model is the template that is copied to
create your working space. Every time
you create a new model, all the model settings you
chose to change will be used for that session.
If you wanted to start with standard level names an
d some beginning geometry, that can be saved
using this method.
General tolerance will be the most common thing set
here. We would recommend using
.0002 as a good value. If you did not set a drawing
standard when you installed PowerShape and
it starts in metric mode, you can set the default h
ere to ANSI. Also any option under Options-
Drawing must be changed in the Master Model.
Everybody will have different settings for their de
faults, but the process is always the
same.
1) In PowerShape, go to the Tools menu on the top t
oolbar, and select login. A form will
pop up and prompt you for a login name and password
. Type in ‘
admin’
for the name and hit
enter. No password is necessary. The software wil
l reboot in administrator mode. This will
allow us to access files that you otherwise could n
ot.
2) Open the option page under the Tools menu. Look
on the page under General>Units
and Tolerances. Select the check box like shown.
