Hi out there

I wonder since I came on Planet PTC I see that most of my messages are only responded after a day. Most of the time by foreign people.

I work from 8 until 17h. Because of the different timezone I think you come on later, but are there so few users of Planet PTC in western Europ.

Or do they work so hard or may they not visit this site?

Regards

Chris

    There are certainly a few on here from the UK.

    Maybe we have less to say; or maybe we just don't know all the answers!

    Hi

    I can't believe they are smarter.

    Say do you work in mm or still in inches? I wonder.

    Regards

    Maybe not smarter but it does depend on what areas people have experience in.

    We work in mm pretty much exclusively (Pro/E, sorry Creo/Pro is set in mm, N, s) although of course sometimes we have to use imperial parts - hydraulic fittings, bearings, bolts and nuts if the customer requires it.

    We think in a mixture of units - miles per hour, thou (especially for fits and clearances, for the 'more mature' engineers), feet and inches if you ask how tall we are, and so on; but all calculations and all drawings are in metric units. It's just much easier!
