Initial sketcher dimensions too big!
Initial sketcher dimensions too big!
(OP)
Folks-
We use inch units in our start-part and start-assy models as and in the majority of our models. When we start a new feature (e.g. extrusion, hole, etc) using the sketcher, the sketcher seems to assume large dimensions to begin with. It's as if Pro/E thinks were using millimeter units although we are explicitly declaring inch units both in config.pro and in the start model units. This makes for regenerating complications because of the large difference between the dimensions we WANT and the dimensions we are forced to start out with. Is there a fix for this?

Personally I just have a habit of zooming in with the wheel a couple times.
This should be a config.pro option, just like a lot of other things that are not.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

redefine the attributes of your planes
fit radius 1
