    Interpret CMM Data without Pro/CMM

    Having heard that Pro/CMM is not worth purchasing, I assumed that the export functionality of PC-DMIS (CMM software) can give me enough IGES data to create a surface from a quilt feature. Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful so far. I have tried exporting PC-DMIS measurement data (created...

    Inexplicable Graphics Problem

    In the past, I have posted many responses to users here who asked about graphics problems...now I have a problem that is completely baffling me: System; Compaq AP550 (PIII 733Mhz, 512Mb 900Mhz RDRAM, Nvidia Quadro2 Pro), win2000 w/ Compaq P1100 monitor (21") Setup; ProE 2000i2, config.sup...

    Anyone know of a workaround for a 'bellows' feature?

    Without spending another $10,000 for the modules to allow me to use the 'spinal bend' surfacing feature, does anyone know how to create a bent 'bellows' feature? By bellows, I mean a pipe compressed on its axis, making a sort of accordion out of it, with a sine wave as its profile. Creating...
