pro/e locks up
pro/e locks up
(OP)
I use Pro/E 2001 and about 3-4 times a day while I am either modeling or assembling Pro/E just locks up, like it is out of memory. I put the arrow over the shortcuts and they disappear. Sometimes if I close out some of the models that I have open Pro/E will start working again, but not usually. I have to restart my computer for Pro/E to work correctly.
Does this happen to anybody else, and does anybody know how to fix this problem?
Thanks, Phil

Switch to WIN NT, 2000 or XP.

I'm working on a INTEL XEON platform and Pro/E didn't crash for months.
Try to install the lastest build of Pro/E and look for updated drivers for your graphic card.

What graphics card would you suggest for my application?
I believe that this is my problem.
TIA, Phil

click start, Run, and type MSCONFIG, and tell the computer to restart in a safe or diagnostic mode. Also click on the startup tab, and deselect any items that startup that arent nessecary; ie AOL, real Player, etc... these things tend to screw PRo E up. Also watch out for Zone Alarm, it tends to crash PRO E
RE: pro/e locks up
In the wildfire class, we had more lockups & drops (Pro/E & mouse) then usual. I had 18 in the two days. They were older NT machines and we should hope that this is not a trend.
RE: pro/e locks up
In general, I find that newer versions of the software fix problems like this.
Rarely in my experience has hardware caused problems.
What Datecode of ProE 2001 is causing these crashes?
Select menu items: Help, About Pro/ENGINEER
The datecode should be 2002*** or 2003***
The datecode format is : YYYYWWX, where YYYY=year, WW=week (1 to 53), X=?
I have had experiences with crashes/lockup with slightly older datecodes.
In fact, I have had lockup problems with a relatively new datecode 2003120.
I loaded 2003161 and the problem disappeared.
It's very easy to load.
Just point the install program to your current load directory and it does the rest.
If you are on PTC maintenance, you can request a new datecode CD anytime (or download).

RE: pro/e locks up
I agree with many of the posts above and I have to say that the datecode and the paging file size were the reasons for keeping my Pro/E models from using the Pro/EXIT function.
Good luck!
