SECTION 20 DESIGN AIDS ON INTERNET (www.sdp-si.com)
With the availability and convenience of the Internet in the work place, it was only natural to switch
from a CD-ROM publication to the Internet. All the contents of our previous CD-ROM have been
converted and placed on our Web site. The following is a partial listing of programs that have been
added to our Web site for your convenience.
1.
Product Navigator (Database content manager of all products)
2.
Electronic pages of our catalog
3.
Order Online (Partial list of selected products via Thomas Register and our own order
online capability under construction).
4.
Center Distance Designer
Product information for all parts can be retrieved from the content database of our product line at
http://www.sdp-si.com/search3/. Simply select the product group from the tree on the left, choose the
specific product of interest, and select the different product attributers until a product is obtained.
Alternatively, you can get to the content database by selecting the 2D/3D option from the left pane at
the home page (http://www.sdp-si.com/).
The content database allows our customers to navigate our 60,000 line items until the item of
interest is found. It gives the freedom to select the attributes that are of greatest interest to the
user. It allows the users to view the catalog page for additional information via Adobe Acrobat
Reader. Various flavors of CAD exchanges, of the products, can be retrieved from our Web site
(proe, .dwg., iges, dxf, step., etc). We are continually improving and updating our database to bring
new information and products to our customers in a timely manner.
A quick search option is available for customers who know the part number that they are
looking for.
The electronic pages of our catalogs can be found at http://www.sdp-si.com/catalogs.htm.
Alternatively, the user may select the link shown above the set of catalogs located at the top right
of the home page labeled FREE SDP/SI COMPONENTS CATALOGS.
To find a product, first determine the catalog, then:
•
Click on the link at the bottom right of the catalog.
•
Select the chapter or product grouping at the bottom of the catalog icon.
•
Click the product subgroup and navigate, if needed, to the product page of the Adobe
document.
Order Online: This is an initial attempt to make available a selected group of products online
through the Thomas Register order online system. To order online, the user must do one of the
following:
•
Click the link above the Thomas Register logo found in the upper left-hand corner of our
front page (http://www.sdp-si.com/) which reads "ORDER ONLINE."

Presently, approximately 2000 parts are available online. We are also in the process of
developing our own order online capability.
