3d drawing not working?

3d drawing not working?

3d drawing not working?

(OP)
hi,

It's supposed wildfire 2 can manage 3d dimension in an isometric view but when I try to make a new dimension in such view is not real. It seems the value match the proyected dimension.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or proe isn't capable of doing what I want. Other systems like unigraphics have this feature in a very simple way - just a dimension. I'd like to know if you have the same problem

RE: 3d drawing not working?

You probably need to set up the
allow_3D_dimensions  yes         
in your Drawing Setup config file this should solve your problem.

UG had a good capability for doing 3D drawings before the 3D drawings movement. How do you think Wildfire compares with its 3D dimension functionality.

Hi, I'm looking for a Job.
  Do you know of any at your company?

RE: 3d drawing not working?

(OP)
I've see the thread [sorry for the duplicate] but when I try to do that it don't work. Let me explain, I make a dimension, let's say 100mm, then I switch view the dimension and -surprise- it's not 100mm, it's 83,456mm.

I do have "allow_3d_dimensions" set to "yes".

For UG, I find 3D dimensions are better than in Proe because I can't get true 3D dimensions in Proe.

RE: 3d drawing not working?

The problem with ProE ISO dimensions is that they need to be created for a particular view orientation and displayed for that same view in the drawing. If you swicth the dim to another view, it will change value.
