Re: 1U Template - PEM Stud Length

I'll see what people think in the office.
Great!

I'd like to settle this so I can proceed with ordering (3) more new enclosures at a Qty of (5) each.

It would be nice not to have to apply power tools to those nice shiny-new enclosures.

Re: 1U Template - PEM Stud Length

Correction: The installed studs are #6-32 x 3/8 by default, not #8-32.

1U Template - PEM Stud Length

The mounting of the back panel in the 1U Rackmount Template uses #8-32 x 3/8 long PEM studs. These studs are unnecessarily long (IMHO), and are scary-close to the bottom of my rear-mounted PCB. alongscrew2.jpg Can shorter PEM studs be specified for future orders (like 1/4" long)? Can the template be...

No changes made in either program on opening/importing.

The PD SVG import looks to be 'square'.

Unable to accurately scale SVG graphics in PD.

V5.3.28 While placing our SVG logo I noticed that there are no convenient ways to enter image size. And even less convenient, is that PD seems to resize/re-scale the image when it's imported... so, it is always necessary to re-scale when placing a new image. Currently, one can only enter the origin....

Text Justification would be really useful.

Guests and fish... but here it goes anyway: The one single thing that Altium (www.altium.com) has done right in the last 5 years is Text Justification. https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/sch-prop-textstringtext-string-properties-ad When you place text, you are allowed to specify on...

Re: Transparent 3D objects?

If a 3D Component is placed on the same side of a panel with labeling then the 3D component blocks the view of the labeling and cutouts. This blocking-of-view seems to happen even if the 3-d coordinates are correct, and the line of sight of the labeling/cutouts should not actually be blocked. ------...
