    Plotting on a HP 800 42" from ProE

    We are creating an offset of 6mm or 1/4" in both the x & y. No matter what software we are using to create drawing in; .tif, .tiff, .pdf. It seems to be a Pro/E issue versus the HP or Adobe print drivers.

    conical draft in pro/e

    Draft in Wildfire 1&2 seems to be more straight forward. But as in all softwares, calculations making drafts need to be controlled. Using the right click to proceed thru the steps is faster than before. Although, keep in mind the dashboard options allow us to step back thru. And when you...

    How can I save color info when I save a drawing to dwg?

    Do you have the drawing "showing model" by model colors before exporting. We can set the drawing to show default or by model colors now; I wonder if that will export out differently.

    Windows XP: viewing .tif files thro' workspace

    We make large drawings and found Kodak Viewer limiting. We have compupic software; here is the link for the free trial download: http://www.photodex.com/products/compupic/ That way you can try it before you buy it.

    Create Balloon

    Make sure you "relate" the group to the view you want it in. Sometimes, moving a balloon/text group becomes lost on the drawing.

    Insert mode

    Can you make a datum plane and drag it up the model tree? Sometimes anything you do will unlock and start functionality again.

    Why has the Automotive Industry avoiding Pro/E as a design tool?

    Parametric Tech bought CDRS. Changed the name to ProDesigner and lost all recognition. Then they named it back to CDRS. Now that style is around they don't offer CDRS anymore. But, what they stripped out of CDRS and put in Style (2001, WF1/2) is poor at best. Loss of export cleanness...

    What Gives? - Round Problem

    Advance variable rounds are set up for transistions diff. It is not uncommon to have variable fail with matching ends. Add another radii in the middle and it seemed to work. What version are you running?

    WF2 & Update Tables

    No Duplicates nor No Dup/Level seemed to have no effect (yesterday). Seems today to work just fine. Must be one of the "you got to get out of ProE and back in to get it to work" things. Just getting everything out of RAM does not get rpt.qty to work. But the field of part numbers ... still...

    WF2 & Update Tables

    I have a table BOM on my assy drawing; half right & half wrong. The Item ID#, Part Description and Balloon placement are correct. The Part Names (part number) are the "main assy" part number repeated all the way down the table. And the Qty does not fill in anything. Has anyone else had a...

    Associate Parametric Dim in Note

    I want to make dimension from top view into detail. The spine is a parametric dim and the section has a created dim to place it correctly in the drawing. I always used (@D), "o" for omit so "@O &d30" to captured value of d30. I do not get it to work in WF2. What am I missing?
