System Symbols???
System Symbols???
(OP)
Hi,
Our office is new to using Pro/E... We only have a couple of guys working with it now, and our administrator isn't too familiar with everything.
I'm curious if there is anyway to get some default system symbols from the installation discs? I really don't have many symbol options to choose from, from what I can tell by browsing through directories (really just surface finish symbols).
When installing Pro/E, is there some option that needs to be checked to install more symbols? I'd rather not have to go and create my own user defined symbols.
BTW, I'm looking for a datum target symbol, I know it's built into Pro/Detail - but it's not working as I'd expect it to (only wants to go on certain views - not the one I want it to go on).

Do you trust your intuition or go with the flow?

What is the default symbold directory???? And how many symbols should be in there?
I've poked around, and found some symbols, but I only have two or three to choose from... and all of those are surface finish symbols.

In your drawing, pick INSERT> SYMBOL INSTANCE and pick RETRIEVE. Browse to the folder above or pick a new location.
Also, set the config.pro option "pro_symbol_dir" to your choice.
