    wires in shaded view

    Hi all, Using WF 3.0 version M70 We just started using the cable module. I have a shaded drawing view with wires in it; I wish to see the wires but not the hidden wires behind a PCB. What is the config.pro option or Drawing set up file option to correct this problem? Jeff Tofflemire

    helical sweep using a sketched trajectory

    Hi All, Using WF3. Is there a way to create a helical sweep using a 3D sketched trajectory? The trajectory was made using datum points. I am trying to make a cable harness with twisted pairs, we do not have the Pro Cable. Tofflemire

    can not change bom balloon attachment

    Hi All, WildFire 3. I have a drawing that will not allow me to change the edge or surface attachment of any balloons. If I create a new drawing and quickly show a view with balloons of the same assy, it will allow the attachment to change. Is there a setting that I am missing? Tofflemire

    SMT bend table files

    Hi All, Using Wildfire 3.0 Is there a way to have a SM Part call up 2 different SMT bend table files? This is if I would like to build the same part but with 2 different AWG's. I was thinking this could be done inside of a family table some how. Tofflemire

    view graphics in Intralink

    Hi All, I am unable to view the drawing in Intralink. I have the config.pro setting save_drawing_picture_file to embed. I am also not able to see the part or assembly models. I also have save_model_display to shading_lod. What do I have to set to be able to view this in Intralink Tofflemire

    BOM TABLE WITH MULTI INSTANCES

    Hi All, Using wildfire 3.0 Can you make a BOM table in a drawing to report all QTY's in separate columns for each family table instance? And still be live balloons? Is there a work around other than manually entering? Tofflemire

    Sheet Metal Hole table

    Hi All Happy New Year to you. Is there a way to lock the location of Ref Designators for Hole tables? Config.pro or Drawing Setup file setting? Every time I update the hole table every REF Designator moves back to a default location. TIA Tofflemire

    define symbols

    Hi All, I new to Wildfire 3 from ProE2001. A lot has changed but mostly same functions. Can you define a balloon symbol to call up ASM.MBR.NAME by adding :X (X= some internal id)? Another question. In sheet metal, we have map keys set up to load the sheet AWG and bend tables for each, is...

    text column in repeat region

    Hi All, I have just made a jump from ProE 2001 to Wildfire 3. I am have trouble making a column to accept text in a drawing repeat region. When I enter text in one box, it repeats for all the boxes in that column. In Pro2001 I had to define that box by enter text by keyboard. In Wildfire I do...

    Family Tree

    Hi All, Do any of you have recommended software program (maybe shareware)that makes makes family trees of ProE assemblies. We currently use an DOS version of OrgPlus which is a chore to use. Tofflemire

    TI IC 2812

    Hi All, We are using the Texas Instruments IC (TMS320F2812PGFA,LQFP176,DSP) and having issues with the A to D converter. It seems that some have an offset voltage from 0 mV up to 50 mV which is causing some of other measurements to be off. Has anyone seen this and have a nice fix for this...

    Longer Machine Screw

    Hi All, Do any you know if and where I can purchase some 6-32 stainless Steel 3.5" screws long. From my inquiries it appears that 3.0" is the longest you can buy in that thread size. My next question, does anyone know how to stretch 6-32 screws about .040". My problem is that I have...

    switch sheets in drawing

    Hi All, I just stumbled on to this tip. If you have multiple sheets in your drawing and a wheel mouse, you can pick inside the sheet icon (next to page #)or the arrows to make a bar flash next to the page number shown, then you can use the mouse wheel to scroll thru all the pages. Not much but...

    backup Intralink

    Hi All, My problem is that we now have a new IT manger. He bought new back-up software for our full servers. The problem he is having is connecting to the data file server to back up all the Intralink data. The backup software is BrightStor ARCServe Backup R11.5 (build 3889). Intralink 3.2...

    Intralink: recover workspace

    Hi All, Recently I saw a post on here about recovering a workspace in Intralink. Well I did the unthinkable and deleted a workspace when I was not paying attention. While I thought about it, I thought I would be able to use the Intralink .proi log file to recover, as you aware that did not...

    what about this video card

    Hi All, I think it's time for an video card update with more memory for use with ProE. I am looking at this card Sapphire Radeon X1300 - 512DDR2, V/D/T, PCIx. The price looks fine ($125.00 CDN). I have a 20" DELL flat screen and 2.6GHz AMD Athlon, is this card compatible with ProE 2001...
