This is probably an easy question, but I can't seem to find any information on it. Does anyone know how to create a collinear constraint in 2001? With intent manager on, the selection appears to be the alignment icon (hint text says create same points, points on entity or collinear constraint)...
Easiest thing to do is complete the task that you want the trail file for. Then simply open the trail file created to determine what the commands are. There are options in the config file to allow you to step through a trail file one command at a time, and do some other things to make using...
I believe that as long as both obects are open in Pro/E (i.e. in memory) at the same time, using the rename in Pro/E for the part and drawing will maintain the proper associations.

I use 2001 and this exists for me. Select Create>>Solid>>Hole and then select Standard Hole (options are for straight hole, sketched hole, standard hole). You then have the option for a tapped hole or a clearance hole (using radio buttons) and then there are check boxes for Add Thread Surface...
I think that you need to create the relations outside of the table. In Menu Manager -> Relations click add relation. Then set d2=d1+0.25, etc. When d1 is updated all the other dims will update as well. Relations can also be accessed under Info -> Relations and parameters.

I've been looking at the trail files, and it looks like I can automate a run of pictures through this utility. You can specify file names and when I combine it with the Pro/Program I have for the assembly I can move the model as required. I haven't been able to determine if the trail files...
im4cad,
Do you know if it is possible to automate this process (i.e. make pro/e name the jpgs/tifs automatically and save them?) or does the saving of the individual files need to be done manually?
Thanks.

Hi there,
My company is looking at creating a database of images showing our product (a large telescope) in multiple positions (1000+) that can be accessed from the internet with a simple look-up table. Is there anyway to create some program/mapkey/proBATCH that would automate the process (the...
Be careful using ALT+PRTSCREEN. It works, but will bloat your word files if you're using lots of images. Better to use SnagIt or another screen capture program where you can specify the quality of the capture and file type (jpeg, gif, etc.). It's my understanding that alt+printscreen creates a...
Check out http://www.ptc.com/products/pvexpress/faq.htm#g13. You need to add the config.pro option save_model_display (set to shading_lod). You will need to restart Pro/E with the new config setting, and you will need to resave any files that you want to view with ProductView Express with the...
Hi there,
Is there any way to add more desciption to a Pro/E file that will show up in Windows Explorer?
Currently we save files under their part numbers. This is fine for people who work with the parts all the time, but for the occasional viewer, we would like a more descriptive title to...
Never mind, figured it out. Requires a simple right click on the mapkey of interest on the toolbar while having the Customize Screen window open. You can choose to display text, image, or image and text.

P.S. Thanks for the assist Catzcradle, the @MAPKEY_NAME defines what appears in the...
Hi there,
I am stumped on a little thing. I am creating MapKeys and placing them on the toolbar, and would like the name of the MapKey to be displayed on the toolbar as well. It seems that some of the MapKeys default to this representation, but others only place an image on the toolbar. Any...
Hi there,
I'm trying to put a Pro/E model onto the web that will allow browsers to manipulate the model. What I mean, is that we want people browsing the site to be able to change some parameters in an assembly, and have the model update. Does anyone know of any way to do this?
Matt
