Troy06,

Any luck with the living hinge design. I too am using Wildfire 2.0 and haven't had any luck creating a living hinge with family table.

the spinal bend worked great and I was able to have an open and closed lid using a family table

- Spinal Bend ? Is this in the Standard ProE module or are you using Surfacing? I don't have Surfacing so I can't check. If in the standard module - is it a Warp feature? Spine tool? or Bend tool?
