Hello
Does anybody have a lot of expereince placing geometric tolerances and datums in parts - as opposed to drawings. This functionality was very easy to add in Pro/ENGINEER.
I'm using SolidWorks 2007, but should move to 2009 quite soon, so perhaps it's possible to do stuff in 2009 that I...
Hi
I'm a freelance consultant. At my last contract I worked with PDMWorks WorkGroup, but in my new contract we have PDMWorks Enterprise.
With Workgroup, files were saved locally, outside the database, and for example, you could log-out of the databse, work at home, off-line etc., and just...
I am working in a light mechanical environment, so not structural.
I want to connect a spring made from austenitic stainless steel to a low-carbon mild steel bracket.
For the spring, I had in mind s302 or s304l (1.4310/1.4306). Both materials are thin, i.e. 0.6mm. The bracket can be any low...
Top man - get a star! Thanks John.
Considering you don't use Intralink, you knew where to look to find the answer. I was expecting another user with similar experiences to have found a work around.
However, we still haven't solved the complete solution have we - lol.
All I have to do now is...
I use Wildfire 2 and Pro/INTRALINK 3.3
I have top-level assemblies which are generic assemblies.
I use these assemblies predominantly via simplified reps.
Mostly I enter the generic assembly, and not an instance.
Presently the master representation of the assembly can be opened.
For...
I've used reps for ten years already and am convinced of their virtues!
Man, you can't believe how hard it is to change some people's minds!
My opinion is that we're compromising the use of Pro/E to the lowest common denominator, i.e. people with no interest of using ProE as an efficient...
Hi
I just started working with a company who use layers instead of simplified reps.
I can't understand this logic.
Can anybody enlighten me when layers are better than simlified reps?
Conversley, what arguments make usering layers in this way compromise other methodologies, especially in...
Hi
I'm using Wildfire2 and Intralink 3.3
I want to create a simplified rep by rule. The condition I'm trying to define is to include a master rep of all parts that were submitted to the Intralink commonspace after a certain date.
In the master rep of the assembly I'm creating a new...
Hi
I have a STL file.
I want to import this as a solid in ProE. All I can manage is a facetted feature.
Any sneaky tricks or free software?
Cheers

It is a zipped STEP file.
I have just arrived and haven't had a chance to speak to the supplier about trying different configurations.
I'd still like to try less hardware and less PCBs to at least try and get the large bespoke parts to translate properly.
In the past I have found inporting...
I have now worked for two large organisations that have severe problems using massive Unigraphics assemblies inside Pro/ENGINEER.
Third-parties are the design responsibles for modules used within our systems, and they use some Unigraphics.
We need to include the geometry of their modules in...
Problem solved.
I wanted to leave the dimension as a basic, so if the model is interogated, this fact is obvious.
In the table, adding the conventional @[&d12@] doesn't work, but @[@[&d12@]@] does. It appears to be a "double negative" problem.
Cheers
Dave
There is still a way, but it depends how complicated you want things to become!
Create an empty part that will become a skeleton - this won't have the functionality of a "true" Pro/E skeleton, but will do the same job.
Create the axes you need in this part file.
Create part file A, but also...
Hi
Another easy question :-) ?
I have a basic dimension on a model. I want to add this into a hole table.
When I add the normal syntax, i.e. &d12 etc, the dimension is inserted into the appropriate cell, but the "basic dimension box" has disappeared.
I tried adding the @[...@] syntax but...
