The best way that I have found is to create a helical or bevel or any type of gear for that matter is to create a surface (quilt) of the tooth form on a make datum and pattern the form depending on what type of gear you are producing. The patterned surface can take advantage of some of the more...

Revolve cut a taper hole, then revolve conical surface.

We have set up company standard UDF flies that make the hole process quicker to match what we consider a standard hole. Many times we need threads that are non standard to the Machinery Handbook but are common to us so UDFs seemed to be the most logical. Thanks for the tip on the C"BORE...

Not only do you have to alter the dimensions outside of feature creation, but the note will not inclued the c'sink. Also hole charting on standard holes will not work. I don't think PTC has done a good job on the hole creation box.

I need to make 3 repeat regions that sorts items into 4 different Part_Type. Part_Type being a user defined parameter with allowable input of: Purchased, Make, Standard, Spare Part, and Null. The null value being inclueded to filter any Items that I need to exclued completely. The tables should...

Set drawing states. In other words program the drawing. One warning, programming the drawing is more difficult than programming the assem.

I have used datum curves and chosen the text option in the sketch then crated a protrusion using the use edge option. I've never had that cause me problems.

If you are talking about scale in the 2d print: Edit>Value then pick the scale at the bottom of the screen.

Or use the Shift button

Pro/Weld shows up as surface data in the drawing package and will not give the standard filled triangle where two plates come together. Pro/Weld will generate the correct drawing text for the weld but the actual display of the weld sucks. This renders the weld package useless. I have tried to...

Use datum curves and the analysis icon on the datum menu. Create relation at the assem level to add all the curves. Relation could also be in a repeat reagion or layout or parametric note. PS Do I get a free ticket to water slide? pconnor

You may be running out of disk space check to make shure you have room to run even though you may not be saving files to the same drive that pro is loaded it still checks to see if that drive is full. Also check to see where your trail files are going, nothing eats disk space like tail files...

It is possible but very slow unless you shell out some serious bucks for Winchill, that is awsome at remote engineering. Your company have a big checkbook?

Yes, under modify line style and modify text style. You could also set them to a default in your dtl file.
