Our customer requests that next to the BOM baloons must be call-outs for standard items such as bolts, nuts, dowels, etc. I managed to make this show up on print, but problem I have is that call-outs cannot move on opposite side (see attached picture). Baloon 0008 is OK but detail call-out 0010...

My customer requested it. Makes no sense, but have to do it. This time manually ... Thank you to both of you!

Is there a way to put qty in detail drawing to automatically update from assembly? In other words, can I somehow reference qty from assembly to detail print?

I found a solution for it by setting "intf_out_layer" to "part_layer" which makes standard set of layers: DXF/DWG Layer Name - Entities <part_name>_Dxf_Axis - All axes <part_name>_Dxf_Continuous_Line - All continuous lines <part_name>_Dxf_Hidden_Line - All hidden lines...

My customer requires that all documentation come in DWG with their title block and layering scheme. This means that everything must be placed into predefined layers. There is a layer for solid lines, dahsed lines, center line, etc. I tried to make layers in Pro/E drawing and to name those layers...

That's it! Thank you!

We installed new Pro/E v4.0 and some of the settings are lost. I need a config option that instruct Pro/E to add an axis to any round feature. Thank you!

I wanted to check if variable returns NULL as a value so I do not have to do length check. Thank you.

What value extract function returns as in this example? string_val = abcdef ret_val=extract(string_val,1,7) As you can see, extract function should give 7 strings long word but parameter is actually 6 strings long. Is it possible that extract func. returns NULL value? How can I detect with IF...

I did not put cosmetic thread, thread is existing within the hole (from Pro/E options).

Part with pocket, threaded blind holes are on the opposite side of the pocket. Holes go thru where the pocket is placed. In a drafting module I see threads coming out where pocket is. Is there some setting I can set so it does not show length of threads if they go thru?

Is there a way to do this? I have more than 80 drawings to print ...

Yes. Everything works. Sometimes, I have to regen assembliy manually for holes to regen into new location.

When I open the part A without opening part B nor assembly, everything is still there. No problems at all. There is a yellow sign saying "Model for a variable reference pattern is missing". Even drw files are just fine.

One more thing. I work with the BASIC Pro/E module. Skeleton is out of question or any "advanced" technique.
