    Can WF 4 save a file as a WF 3 .prt

    Thanks for the suggestions. We are currently using STEP files, but it would speed up the process if we could save as a WF3 *.prt. Looslib, good idea. We're looking around now to see if we have a machine with the old WF3 still on it.

    Can WF 4 save a file as a WF 3 .prt

    The FEA analyst uses a program that can handle only WF3 type *.prt files. I use WF 4, and cannot find a simple way to save the part as a WF3 .prt. Does anyone on here know? Thanks.

    Pro/Piping Solid not updating to route

    I have Pro/E WF 4 with the piping application. I am updating an older piping assembly. Some of the pipes are being routed to different ports. I am able to get the route to appear right (blue line goes where it should), however the solid does not update to the route. I end up having to delete the...

    Calling out 8UN Thread

    I have a 2-3/8" diameter internal thread that I want to follow the 8UN form. How is this called out in the drawing: 2-3/8-8UN 2.375-8UN 2-3/8 - 8UN 2 3/8 - 8UN 2-3/8-8-8UN etc.. Thanks for the help.

    Information for relations

    I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is possible. I have a family table in which I want to be able to have the relation compare a dimension between the first and last instance. I'm thinking the following type of logic would be necessary: -Find the number of instances in the family table -If...

    Information for relations

    I'm interested in finding out as much information as possible about pro/e relations, and the input code it uses. Very specifically what it can do with family tables, though the more information the better. I've already found this...

    Parameter Report Question

    I am inserting a note to call out a thread on a drawing. I would like it to read "1/4-20 UNC-2A THREAD". Since this note will be used on varying sizes, I would like it to be parameterized. The only issue I'm having is getting the 0.25" to report as 1/4. The note currently reads as follows...

    Auto-Save Config Option

    Is there an Auto-save config option. My computer frequently crashes during pro/piping, and need to keep saving every few minutes in order to not lose hours of work. Using Pro/E WF 4 M140. Thanks, Bryan

    Entering parameter values across multiple parts

    I need to enter parameter values into about 250 sub-assemblies and parts. Is there a simpler way than opening the top level assembly and using the parameter tool to select each part individually to enter the value? I'm using Pro/E WF 3.0. Thanks, Bryan
