Man I love this forum. Thanks!

Is there anyway in Pro E to import files, and have it bring the geometry into your default start parts?

Is there anyway to use TolAnalyst in a single multibody part to check features, rather than an assembly?

Thanks, this works, but only sort of. I'm still not allow to choose the template that i'd like. It just uses template in C:\PTC\proeWildfire2\templates; specifically inlbs_asm_design. Is there anyway to have it prompt you or set that default?

Is there a way to import parts into Pro Engineer, and have them pointed to my start parts, so that they have all the preset views etc, in my start parts.

I'm trying to simulate(no FEA just motion) pulling a flexible tube though a curved piped. At one end of the tube is a weight which will prevent the tube from going the whole way through the pipe. I have access to the routing package but have had little experience with it. I'm wondering if this...

is there anyway to measure an angle after running a displacement study?

Okay so a little more digging in the options menu of some of the views and I'm able to display the datum annotations. But this only seems to apply to section and detail views. In the regular projected views off my first model view I don't have the option to import or show annotations. Has...

Tried the force rebuild as well, no luck. Any other suggestions. I mean all the parameter text stays in the block it just shows up as text with the previous part name.

Are you sure you mean Ctrl Q. Ctrl Q quits the program. if you are trying a reload, I've tried that.

Yes I had the update where used checked. It just kind of sucks. I have a feeling that the search where used function goes deep enough to find drawing and views which use the model but not notes or noteblocks ect.

I have a set of drawings with parametric text blocks linking to the parts volume, weight, ect. and I am now haing to go back through and rename all the parts, unfortunately when i use solidworks explorer to rename it does not update the changed parameter drawing; so althought the part and the...

If everything is set up correctly; meaning that your config file is pointed to correctly, most mapkeys in WF2 will work in WF3. There are some changes in WF to the measure menu which may cause some mapkeys to fail. Addtionally there are some changes to how things are placed in assembly mode...
