Hi all, I've created a product label in AutoCad and would like to import it to my WF2 assembly file. What is the best way to do this? I've tried to save it as dxf, open it in WF and read it in my sketcher, however, it somehow only brings in the graphics and ignores my text. I've tried to open...

Hi Jeremy, It's actually a module that's not included in the foundation package. WF2 and WF3 supports it. I requested a quotation from PTC and it's 15k USD for it. That's when I stop thinking about it... Gwen

Hi all, Has anyone tried out the reverse engineering module? I saw the demo and it looks useful. My main goal is to turn my scanned data points to a solid model. Is it worth purchasing? Thanks for sharing your experience with this module! Regards, Gwen

Justkeepgiviner, You are right! I checked the graphic card and reinstalled the driver and it's working fine now. Thanks alot for you help! -gwen

Hi all, I've just reinstalled WF2 on my machine and for some reason the way it regenerates a model is slower (even when the part is extremely simple), and as if it needs to repaint the model and datums all the time, even though I am trying to pick the commands at the top and not highlighting...

Thanks Heckler! I've found a fix to the problem. It was a graphics issue rather than a WF issue. I just had to update the driver for the graphic card and the problem is gone. Thanks anyway! -gwen

Hi all, Our IT dept just installed window xp service pack 2 on my pc and i find that WF2 is running slower than usual. A simple model is even rotating slower than it used to. Will this problem has anything to do with SP2? Has anyone has a similar problem before? Thanks!

University of Kentucky Lexington, Kentucky USA www.uky.edu I believe it's mandatory for all ME undergrads to take this CAD class that uses ProE. Hope this helps! -gwen

Go to open, click on the IN SESSION icon at the top right of the pop up window(the icon is a monitor) and you'll see your files that are still in memory. Hope this is what you need!

Thanks Hora and Mark, Hora, i read your tips in thread554-109006 and I'm wondering is it possible for me to do a relation in assembly mode to the pin connection? something like, while part A rotates and pushes spring B, spring B's deflection will decrease. On top of that, add the regenerate...

Thank you Mark, I'm embarrassed that all i ask about is this spring! Anyway, I've done what you suggested and yeah, i got myself a tiny spring icon that doesn't really show in my animation. I tried another method which is make the spring flexible, change the height slightly for it to deflect...

Hi all, I'm trying to assemble a torsion spring into my assembly. I would like one end of the spring to be fixed while the other end to be pushed by another part to compress the spring. How can i simulate this mechanism in WF? I'm using a pin connection to assemble the spring and to change the...

Hi 427591HJ, In config.pro, set DISPLAY to hiddeninvis. (WF) I'm not sure you can change the shade quality in config.pro, unless it's a hidden config that someone here might know about. you might have to set a mapkey to do it. Hope this helps! gwen

Hi Michael, Thanks for the info! the training is not cheap but i'm hoping that my boss is willing to sponsor. i'm the only one in the company that uses proe, so i don't really have someone to learn from and i thought the training will be a good source of tutorials and demos. Regarding the...

Hi all, i came across the PTC web-based training on their website, which is a one year subscription that includes tutorials and virtual classroom lessons. i was wondering is anyone currently/previously subscribed to this and whether is this a good way to learn WF2? i have basic knowledge of wf2...
