I finally decided to go looking for a way to change the length of the dimension line extension in SW2017 (shown in attached image). Not sure if this is a default or something that got set in-house somewhere along the way, but I want to shorten it. Been manually dragging the handle for way too...
I have an electronic enclosure being bolted to a concrete platform with 4" concrete thickness. The installation consists of a 3/8" thick stainless base plate sitting on top of the platform and a 3/8" thick stainless backer plate (fishplate) underneath the platform. 5/8" stainless threaded rod...
I'm trying to route a small wire thru the house and was considering how I could conceal it (home entertainment/not power). A thought I had was to use a router or other tool to run a shallow groove in the ceiling adjacent to molding or ceiling/wall intersect. I'd then mud the wire into the...
I have a Philips surround sound system that now needs new transformers as I attempted a capacitor fix that went south. The transformers have the following markings: R7249T 6HC (and the C is underlined)
These are 4 pin transformers on the AC inlet. Anyone know a manufacturer I should be...
When entering a dimension value in the Modify dialog, I can enter "1/2" for a .50 dimension, but I can not perform any other calculation. I get the error "Please enter a number between XXXXXXX and YYYYYYY". I am also not able to enter Equations. No matter what I try (including "TEST = 1") I...
I have some components that were downloaded and/or generated without ECAD interface in mind. The default coordinate system is not located/oriented properly. So I have added an additional CSYS that matches our Mentor database components. The export from ProE to Mentor works great because I can...
I am looking for some design info and manufacturer of a bi-stable tape/ribbon spring like the 'slap bracelet' kid's toy. I have found a few research papers online, some of which I'll need to purchase to see the whole thing. But I've not located a manufacturer yet.
Appreciate the assistance,

I have an underground cooling application and was thinking of driving a heatpipe into the ground (similar to an earthground rod) in order to sink the heat of my electronics to the earth cooled rod.
It seems like this would work since homes are now cooled with heatpumps in a similar fashion...
I'm about to start using bulk items a good 10 years after starting to work with Proe.
I've created a some bulk item library parts and have assembled them into my assembly. Our standard BOM table was using the &model_name paramater to list the parts. The bulk items are listed in the BOM as I...
It seems there's some setting off in our configuration that causes results to be off by a scale of 35. I could probably track down an error of 32.2 or 9.8, or some reasonable constant, but don't know where to look for 35.
Has anybody ever seen this and how do I fix it?

ps. sorry if I'm...
I use an aluminum flat plate hx core for air-to-air heat transfer. The core is about 15" square (plate dimension) and 6" thick. Currently, these are acquired overseas but shipping costs/times are ugly and I'd like to find a US source. All my leads so far keep turning up zip.
All leads are...
I have water seeping from under my slab. 3 holes dug around the perimeter in this area show seepage on the slab side of the hole although it only pools in the middle hole. A pressure test on the water line indicates no leaks. Also shutoff inside valves for 6 hours last night and no movement...
Does anyone have a good design reference for dove-tail design? In particular, I'd like to slide a hard rubber (male dovetail) into an ABS plastic (female groove). I'm looking for recommended clearances for sliding fit and tolerancing schemes.
TIA,
