    New sketch reference....denied?

    sure enough, made it independent and tweaked away. thanks orbit. i've been having other issues since coming in and trying to tune a config. i'm still seeing dimensions i can't change tolerance schemes for and kinda lumped the problems together. Ed Lee Sr. Designer Orbital Sciences Corp...

    New sketch reference....denied?

    hey folks, quick question: i've been handed a model and wanted to redefine a feature sketch to add a reference, but i'm getting "References to additional 3d geometry may not be made; please select again". i've seen this before when messing around with a new config.pro (which i most certainly...

    BOM and bulk item shenanigans

    ah there it is. the rpt.rel.qty did it. just a simple change to the stored tables. i like that. incidentally, i tried an upper and lower case q, with no difference. maybe this annoyance has passed with wf3 (which i forgot to specify). i'm going to look into using the bulk_item method you have...

    BOM and bulk item shenanigans

    hi folks, okay, here's what i have: top assy is a skid with pressure vessels, pipe runs, cabinets, etc. each pipe run is a subassy of fittings, valves, gauges, etc located on a datum curve defined by points (offset csys). the pipe itself is a part created in assy and thin protrusions extruded...

    Drawing Formats

    it still sounds like the directory path is having a hiccup. double check for any conflicting entries, spaces in the path, maybe another config in the startup sequence. do you have any old formats that *do* work? personally, i keep most of these options (company standards) in the config.sup to...

    Combo state drawing views

    i can't get it to work either. although, ptc doesn't explicitly indicate the two functionalities (combination display states and shaded views) can be used together in drawings, i was just making the common mistake of "assuming". and we all know....well, you know. [bigsmile] thanks for the help...

    Combo state drawing views

    hi folks, i could've sworn this was what i was looking for, but i'm not seeing it. what i want is an iso view on a drawing showing a combination of no hidden/wf and shaded parts/subassys. however, i can only get views showing fully shaded or with a mix of wf/nohid/hid. am i missing something in...

    Generic/Instance regen behavior...

    ...that is to say, they aren't regenerating at all. i have one part, for example, that has several instances. none of the instances are regenerating with their tabled values. they can verify just fine, but when opened, i get a part geometrically the same size as the generic, but showing the...

    Drawing Format

    have you also created sheet 2 in your formats? sounds like you're using the same title block on consecutive sheets. Ed Lee Sr. Designer H2Gen Alexandria, VA

    Color map files

    as far as i can tell, .map and .dmt provide the same info. maybe .dmt is just a new extension for a transition into new WF code. and apparently, with your initial set loaded, opening another set appands to the existing, and you can save that. dunno about manual editing though. the syntax is...

    Associated lists, on-the-drawing-BOM

    Thanks mike, I can use some of that. I won't have the PO or rev in there, although you've touched on another discussion I’ve had with engineering here about the material ordering process. I’m of the school that we try our best not to build or order from any preliminary documents. but I’ll have...

    corrupted config.win

    i remember this used to be an issue in early 2001 versions, if you messed around with it too much it would freak out your buttons. well, i think i've done it again in WF3, but wanted to see if anyone else may have seen it for another reason. the buttons for view, display...
