    API Question

    Basically all I am trying to do is to select a planar face and have an arrow appear on (normal to) it. Just as when you select a face for draft operation, you see an arrow appear on the surface indicating direction of draft. jevakil@mapdi.com One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day.

    Solidworks Needs to Print Full Manuals Again!!

    I have to disagree. I just started using Pro/E Wildfire and lack of manual is very frustrating. Given the high cost of CAD software, they owe it to their customers to provide them with a decent manual. Some people may not need the full manual but a lot of people do. And so they should get it...
