    Flexible Component - Hinge

    I have a hinge assembly that is made up of 3 components: 2 leafs and 1 pin. In the hinge assembly, I have constrained the 3 components so that the hinge is laying flat. I would like to bring this hinge in to another assembly and constrain it to a part but be able to override one of the leafs...

    Ordinate Dimensions in Detail View

    Is there a way to show ordinate dimensions in a detail view without showing the -0- base line? In NX, you can just dimension the features in the detail view and it knows that the -0- baseline is in the main view and will put the dimensions in. Anyway to accomplish this in Pro/E WF4? Thanks...

    Mating conditions - what are implicit overrides?

    Or a mating override. Example: Adding a hydraulic cylinder to an assembly, where the cylinder is fully mated in its own assembly. When adding it to a main assembly, you would want to mate the base end to something and the rod end to something. To get the rod end to extend, you can...

    Component excluded from reference set

    As far as I understand, if you make a part called Assembly Bracket and add components to it, no "Solid" reference set will be created. But, what you did was make Assembly Bracket the work part and added geometry to it per wave geometry linker, which in turn will create a "Solid" reference set...

    Graphics issues

    I have experienced this with pre-NX versions of solids, maybe V11. What I did to fix the display was to change the layout to 4-view, then changed it back to single view. Just a thought. C. Graves
