We are creating an offset of 6mm or 1/4" in both the x & y. No matter what software we are using to create drawing in; .tif, .tiff, .pdf. It seems to be a Pro/E issue versus the HP or Adobe print drivers.

Draft in Wildfire 1&2 seems to be more straight forward. But as in all softwares, calculations making drafts need to be controlled. Using the right click to proceed thru the steps is faster than before. Although, keep in mind the dashboard options allow us to step back thru. And when you...

Do you have the drawing "showing model" by model colors before exporting. We can set the drawing to show default or by model colors now; I wonder if that will export out differently.

We make large drawings and found Kodak Viewer limiting. We have compupic software; here is the link for the free trial download: http://www.photodex.com/products/compupic/ That way you can try it before you buy it.

Make sure you "relate" the group to the view you want it in. Sometimes, moving a balloon/text group becomes lost on the drawing.

Can you make a datum plane and drag it up the model tree? Sometimes anything you do will unlock and start functionality again.

Click view, right mouse, scroll down to projected view. Highlighted box will appear where you can place view. To create aux view, right mouse to properties and follow thru the plane choices.

Parametric Tech bought CDRS. Changed the name to ProDesigner and lost all recognition. Then they named it back to CDRS. Now that style is around they don't offer CDRS anymore. But, what they stripped out of CDRS and put in Style (2001, WF1/2) is poor at best. Loss of export cleanness...

Advance variable rounds are set up for transistions diff. It is not uncommon to have variable fail with matching ends. Add another radii in the middle and it seemed to work. What version are you running?

No Duplicates nor No Dup/Level seemed to have no effect (yesterday). Seems today to work just fine. Must be one of the "you got to get out of ProE and back in to get it to work" things. Just getting everything out of RAM does not get rpt.qty to work. But the field of part numbers ... still...

I have a table BOM on my assy drawing; half right & half wrong. The Item ID#, Part Description and Balloon placement are correct. The Part Names (part number) are the "main assy" part number repeated all the way down the table. And the Qty does not fill in anything. Has anyone else had a...

Okay no % Just changed the dim name to the associated dim and it worked... weird.

I want to make dimension from top view into detail. The spine is a parametric dim and the section has a created dim to place it correctly in the drawing. I always used (@D), "o" for omit so "@O &d30" to captured value of d30. I do not get it to work in WF2. What am I missing?
