In Pro/E WF5 the limit tolerances showed in drawings as an over under limit. That is the high value on top of the low value. In Creo/Parametric the limit dimensions are now displaying as High-Low.
Is there a way to display them as it did before?
Anyone know, if you have a maintenance agreement and a licence for Pro/E should you be licenced for Creo 1.0 Parametric?
I got an email from PTC marketing Creo stating that Creo 1.0 was now available for maintenance partners and it now shows up in my account's available downloads section. From...
Is there a way to store you drw file in a different location from your prt file? Is there a search.pro type configuration for where to look for models that are included in a drawing?
Thanks
Is there a way in Pro/E to create section views with the section lines labeled with a letter on one end and a number on the opposite end? If you add a section name as A-2 it creates "Section A-2-A-2." I have played around with the view label option but none of the standards fit that format...
I am looking for a software solution to track revisions for Pro/E, AutoCAD, and KeyCreator CAD models, as well as for Microsoft Office specification documents.
Ideally I would like all of these files to be stored in a centralized location. When a document needs to be revised, you would check...
What is the proper way to dimension 3D section views. If you take a section as shown in the attached image, how do you properly dimension features on a diameter. Since your section will be looking at an angle to the top half (not normal) then dimensioning across is obviously not going to...
I am wondering what this hole is for on the inner side wall of MS9001 parts. The hole is into the trailing edge section of the core cavity. Some suppliers have been adding it during machining so it is not casting related. I have seen parts with this hole, and several without it. I know the...
Is there any way to pull off the last few characters out of a parameter name for a note?
I name my solid models my part number. On the drawing the drawing number then becomes &MDL.GENERIC.NAME. I have a reference to the inspection drawing which is numbered IRXXXXX, where XXXXX are the last 5...
I know this has been discussed here before, but throughout the years I have never had any luck with search paths.
So, I have an assembly at "D:\Pro E\...\deflector" and a bunch of bolts in that assembly are at "D:\Pro E\Common". I have a search.pro file with a single line:
search_path...
In my sketcher if I create a line, then try to create a curve tangent to it using the arc with tangent ends tool, the arc will not snap to the end of the line that is already there. I currently have to place an arbitrary arc then use both the coincident constraint and the tangent constraint in...
It can obviously be done with mapkeys, but is there a built in way to create a xy, yz, and xz plane from a selected coordinate system? I have noticed in the past that if you delete the "front," "top," and "right" planes in the default template, then select the original coordinate system and...
Siemens has this picture of the SGT5-4000F turbine on their website:

What is the silvery squiggle attached to the row 4 blades? It looks a bit like a thermocouple, but you wouldn't put those...
Does anyone know if there are any documents regarding the evolution of Westinghouse turbines. I am looking for something similar to General Electric's "GER" documents, that would cover some of the basic changes between different models. I am specifically looking for their W501 series turbines...
In my model tree I have been having odd issues regarding grouping import features. If I select an import feature along with other features I do not get the right click option to group, the edit menu option to group, and mapkeys assigned to create groups will not work.
I originally assumed that...
I am really surprised Pro/E is letting me down with a feature I am trying to model. I need to create a plane that is the revolution of another plane around an axis. The problem is that the axis is not on the plane.
Is there anyway to revolve a feature, be it a sketch or a plane, around an...
I am currently working to create a blade model that consists of an airfoil shape that is composed of a leading edge circle, trailing edge circle, connected by 3 tangent arcs on the pressure side and 4 on the suction side. I would like to come up with a way to pattern these sections with a...
Is there a quick way to scale a datum point import? I have been working with airfoil data files which define a foil of a unit length. When I import them I have been copying and scaling the resulting foil. Is there a way to modify the "Datum Point Array Data File" to scale the foil on import...
I have created an Excel file with some data entry fields and a button. Clicking the button opens Pro/E with a trial file which imports the data and makes changes to the part based on the Excel file. Basically it is a graphic calculator that runs an analysis on the part based on the Excel...
I am relatively new to cadkey and was wondering, what is the best way to create a solid body from a closed sheet body. It seems that the prune feature might work for this, but every time I just end up with a copy of the selected surfaces rather than a solid.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have a nozzle with complex geometry that has a specified flow condition that must be met. The specification gives a flow rate (lb/hr) at a given test stand pressure (psig) using MIL C7024 type 2 fluid (commonly sold as stoddard solvent or white spirit).
I would like to be able to flow test...
