We just upgraded from WF2 to WF4. In WF2 we had a PDF icon in the drawing mode that would create a PDF file of the drawing and store it at the location defined at plot_file_directory. In WF4, the icon is still there but the file creation sequence has been changed. We now have to tell ProE...
We have a part that has approximately 500 instances. I would like to put the table on a drawing; however, the family table is too large to fit on the drawing. Is it possible to have multiple family tables on the drawing. What I would like to do is have one table that controls details 1...
I have a drawing that specifies the material as SYS-PUR EG 7490. I have tried to find some information on this material and the only thing I can find is it seems to be some type of polyurethane; however, I'm not too sure. Has anyone heard of this type of material?
Thank you in advance for...
I know in the drawing mode that you can change the font of any letter used within a note or dimension. But, I would like to change the font of certain dimension symbols within part mode. For example, if I have an angle, I would like the symbol to be the greek symbol alpha. The greek symbol...
I know there is a setting within the config.pro file to have ProE store trail files in a particular directory. Is there a similar setting for proi.log files? Currently these files are being stored on my desktop and I would like for them to be stored elsewhere.
Thanks for your help.
I imported an AutoCAD format into ProEngineer. In the formate where the material is specified, it original read "MAT'L : X" where "X" would be modified by the user. When I imported the format into ProE, I changed this to the following "MAT'L : &material" so that the material would be directly...
I am moving a designer from a desktop to a laptop and I'm not sure about the best way to handle the workspaces that are stored on the desktop. I know the workspaces are stored locally. Can I just copy the workspaces from one machine to the other without causing any problems with Intralink...
Sometimes when I do a revolved cut, the cutting surfaces do not appear smooth. The lines are jagged much like a saw. Is there a graphics setting that would correct this? It is so exaggered that we can't make chages to our assembly because we can't determine where the true edge is. Any ideas...
We have some title blocks drawn in AutoCAD that I would like to use in ProE. Can you import AutoCAD formats as ProE formats or do they need to be recreated in ProE?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I know there is a plotter forum but it seems as if that forum isn't very active. We use ProE WF and I was wondering what plotter do you use? Is there one you would strongly recommend I get or one I should stay way from? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.
At this time when I have a dimension where the minimum value is on the left side and the maximum value is on the right, I would like to change it to where the maximum value is over the minimum value. I know this can be probably changed in the drawing setup file but I don't know where the...
I have a dimension that I want to rename to "G". However, ProE will not let me. Whenenver I try to do this I get the following message:
"This symbol is reserved or exists already."
I have looked into my relation and parameter files, and I can't find a "G" dimension. This happens on new...
A PRT file was accidentally deleted from commonspace and I am trying to determine the best way to recover it. We have tape back-ups;however, the filenames on the tape back-up do not coincide with the filenames used in INTRALINK. Is there a restore function within INTRALINK commonspace? Is...
I am setting up a library of common parts such as screws, washers, nuts, etc. and I would like to know how you have named some of the parts. For example, for a M8 socket head cap screw 50mm long, I am thinking about naming it SHCS_m8x50. However, for ANSI hardware, I'm not sure about the best...
I have a part with an OD and ID. There is a family table on this part where the ID feature is set to NO. In this case, I need the dimension of the ID to be left blank. When I do this in the part mode, the family table cannot verify the instance. Is there a way to make the cell show up as...
I have two parts that will be bonded togther with epoxy. Since these parts are not physically touching at assembly, the epoxy gap shows up as a blank space in the drawing. I would like to cross-hatch the blank space in the drawing mode so that the epoxy region can be shown. It would be too...
I have a cylinder, ID and OD, and I want to place the cylinder's part number on the face on the material that represents the difference between the OD and ID.
ProE has a feature where you can place text on a straight line; however, I need the text to be circular or follow a circular path. Any...
I am trying to modify the drawing setup files (DTL) and whenever I try to save the file, I get the following message:
"Cannot create the file. Make sure that the path and file name are correct."
I have checked the filename, path, read/write permissions, etc. and can't seem to figure out what...
I have a drawing for a spindle clamp that calls out the following material: G00 UNI 5007-69. Do you know where I can find some technical information on this material? Is there an equivalent grade in the US market?
I have not be able to find any information relating to this material.
Thanks.
I have a model where I created some surface finish and geometric tolerances in the drawing mode. When I went back to the model, the geometric tolerances and the surface finishes were part of the model. I don't want them to be seen in the model and I can't figure out a way to "hide" them in the...
