    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Hi Group, Why does Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt views have radically different views? Also, why does one need individual headers & footers between to the 2 different style views? I'm desperately trying to show the planned vs. actual project plan, but every time I adjust a date, it gives...

    Reverse Engineering OEM Turbine Blades or Vanes?

    Hi, Does anyone here reverse engineer turbine blades or vanes? If so, I'm curious to know which applications are being used - Geomajic, RapdiForm, PolyWorks, etc. & which CAD applications used - (Unigraphics) NX, ProE / Creo, etc. I'm curious to know how you ensure accuracy or alignment &...

    Zoom In or Out WBS Area?

    Hi, Is there a way to zoom in or the WBS area - Task columns, resources, etc.? On certain screens or TVs, it's difficult to read & I don't see an option to zoom in or out on the WBS area. Is there one & if so, what or where is the command? Thanks

    Show Planned vs. Actual

    Hi, I'm developing the WBS & Gantt & trying to show planned vs. actual. Does a baseline need to be established first? If so, I am not able to do so because the project plan never seems to get finalized or fully approved. Somehow, I still need to show planned vs. actual. How can this be...

    Convert Drawings to PDFs?

    Hi, I'm using NX 6 & I wish to convert the drawing to a '.pdf' format. I know there is an option within NX, but when converted, some of the text is re-formatted in some way & doesn't look good. I tried using other '.pdf' convertors, such as PDF Creator & the conversion looks good...

    Convert to Excel Without Reformatting

    Hi, Is there a way to convert my MS Project 2007 WBS tasks to Excel, without having it get reformatted? Ideally, I would like a WYSIWYG formatting from MS Project to Excel 2007, without minimal to no formatting corruption. Is this possible & if so, how? Thanks

    Share PDF &/or MS Project 2007 File(s)

    Hi, I'm seeking a way to Save my MS 2007 project into a '.pdf' format. It appears that I need Adobe Professional to create a '.pdf' file, but I do not have. Is there an alternative method to get? Also, I heard SharePoint may be good to have others review the project. How can this...

    Finding the Right Material to Withstand 2000+ deg. F

    Hi, I'm seeking some type of (semi-inexpensive)material that can withstand 2000°F I'm trying to design some type of sleeve in which it will temporarily go over the root of an airfoil. This sleeve has to seal in some way, as well & be easy to slide on & off. Any suggestions on...

    Controlling Layers

    Hi, I'm working with another engineer with CAD model & his Layers settings isn't working properly. Despite going to the layers settings to select or deslect layers, he has to go to, Visible In View to make entities viewable or not vieable. How can this be fixed so he can simply go to...

    How to fix / Smooth Multiple Surfaces, Faces or Edges

    Hi, I have a couple of NX 6 CAD models that has multiple (solid) surfaces, faces or edges - See attachment & pictures. I'm told that if these CAD models are left "As Is", then the CAD models will be more difficult for ANSYS & Tool Programming Engineers to work with. I'm working with...

    Other Applications "Reading" Surfaces?

    Hi, I have a turbine blade and the airfoil concave surfaces or face has a very noticeable questionable vertical surfaces or faces in the middle of it. This is most noticeable when Shading with Edges is on & of course, when shading without edges is off, this area looks perfect. My...

    Extrude or Trim to Desired Surfaces

    Hi, I have a couple of reference pins that I have in the same part file - in this case, the turbine blade file. I've been instructed that doe to ProE WF 4.0 (or all versions), that ProE cannot have 2 or more solids in the same file & still be able to control the layers to hide / unhide in...
