    Turbulent Mouse Movement

    I wanted to get an opinion on the mouse movement to rotate. I have it set to Shift + Middle Click to rotate around the model and for some reason it's always delayed and the mouse must move X amount before it starts rotating. Any suggestions?

    Hardware for a Design Engineer

    Good afternoon all, I am looking to once again upgrade my laptop (currently the specs are in my signature) to a newer one.

    Quirks?

    I'll start this out by saying that I am used to programs like SOLIDWORKS and Inventor so I may be spoiled a bit. Using version 21, I'm attempting to sketch but notice that for everything I do, I have to be dead on where I want to click for anything. This includes constraints, sketches...

    Saving Step Files

    Hello all, I wish I would have used this much more when I was paying for my maintenance lol. I'm currently trying to import a part from McMaster as a step file and when I go to save it's asking me to save off all of my features along with it. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? My...
