Start Parts & Parameters

Start Parts & Parameters

Start Parts & Parameters

(OP)
I need help on start parts and paramater creation on 2001.  Basically, how and where do I start.  Is there any good tutorials?  

I've used start parts and parameters, but have never created them.  Our CAD admin quit, and I'm in a bind now since he took all his knowledge with him.  

RE: Start Parts & Parameters

Essentially, a start part is an ordinary Pro/E part file with all of your company standard parameters set up (Use Tools-->Parameters). It is also a good idea to define:
-Datum Planes
-Layers (Ususally Rule-based)
-Relations (Usually concantentations of parameters)
-Standard views (orientations)

The start parameters should correspond to the parameters required by your drawing formats and other downstream processes.

The config.pro options template_designasm and template_solidpart let you specify the default template assembly or part that Pro/E uses when you create a new model. Use the full path to the file to avoid issues.

Hope it helps
Mark
