I started with SW 97 and used it exclusively up until 2004-2005, I switched jobs and now work only with Pro-E. In my observations the CSWP is more valuable in competitive job markets.
Last year I took advantage of the free offer from SW and took the CSWA which I passed. I then reviewed for a...
You could try adding a new printer type from the PRINT dialog. Next to the Destination field where the default printer is listed you can add a new printer with all the options you need. The .PCF file retains all your settings which can be accessed with two picks or a mapkey.

Goal: to import start part layer scheme (with pre-defined rules) into previously created parts that have non-standard layers (3rd party vendors, contractors, consultants)
To date, I have been working with mapkeys to delete all the layers from a part and make NEW layers, no problem.
However we...
WF 2.0 and 3.0 now use the APPEARANCE.DMT file for colors. Both versions will read previous COLOR.MAP files and save those as the APPEARANCE.DMT. You can save the .DMT files on your local drive or a network directory but you must set the PRO_COLORMAP_PATH in your config.pro and point to the...
I am doing this on an enclosure assembly and have had success with using INHERITANCE. Advanced Assembly Extension required
INHERITANCE Method:
1) create a top level part (CASE.PRT) with all the basic information required, keeping in mind that you'll add more detail in the individual...
I previously worked in SolidWorks and now work in WF 1.0 In SW I could model a solid that represented the external shape of a plastic housing and use the "SPLIT" command to break out individual parts that referenced the original. Any changes made to the solid carry over to each part. I've...
Is it just me or does something odd happen to a .sec sketch when it's copied from one file to another?
I've tried copying a feature sketch from one file to another and on top of not being able to accurately position it it seems to change a few dimensions unintentionally. How do you copy feature...
I've been doing some similar research, On PTC's website they have a list of certified systems that will run Pro/E from 2001 to WF 2. There is also a section for certified graphic cards. I do know that my company has been buying Dell M60's as portable workstations, not entirely sure what changes...
I've been running a ATI Radeon 9000 card for the last year with no problems at all on a Win 2000 system. I think I payed close to $80 and it's been very reliable. I have used it for SW 2001+, 2003 and just started using 2004.

Another way to locate the error is using 'check sketch for feature" under "tools" -> "sketch tools". make sure the entire sketch is in the viewable area before selecting the command. It will highlight the error but won't tell you if it's an endpoint error or a duplicate...
As many have mentiond, don't upgrade in the middle of a project. Being a consulting firm who deals with manufacturing firms, machine shops and everyone in between. We will install the latest major release for some uses and move new projects over and run the older projects on the previous...
I located the file processor utility from www.impact3d.com that was mentioned in a few other threads and created a mapkey. I then ran the file processor which created a .cfg file that edited all the files I chose. The only down side for others is that the processor is only set-up for rel 20...
I have multiple .prt files that need specific parameter information. At the time the project was started, we didn't have a start part with this information. Can I use the information from the param.inf file of one part and incorporate that into multiple parts? Any assistance is most appreciated...
My Elsa Gloria II card recently failed (in a 3 yr old DELL Precision 420/ Win2K) I replaced it with an ATI Radeon 9000 for about $89.00 from Buy.com. So far so good. SW doesn't list it as approved or tested but they have other ATI cards that are appoved Eholmes
