    Cant select more then 1 cosmetic line

    Hello, My fellow Pro/E user here at our work is running across a silly situation. If he draws a cosmetic square or uses the "Use Egde" command in drawing mode to select a square this works fine. When he goes to hatch or fill this area it cant be done. He can only select 1 line at a time even...

    Decimal Places in DWG

    Thank you for your replies. My dimensioning is in metric. I went back in and changed my drawing setup option lead_trail_zeros to "both" and that worked great. Now all I have to do is go back and take all the zeros out that I added manually :( Still learning, I just love this forum Thanks so...

    Decimal Places in DWG

    Hello, I am having a problem that when I dimension a feature that is like 10.0 or 110.0 the drawing does not put the .0 after the number. All I see is 10 or 110. This is a problem when I have to go back to each dimension that is shown like this and add the .0 then the tolerance. Would anyone...

    Fill Cosmetic Sketch

    Hello, I placed a cosmetic symbol (hand sketched) on a contoured surface and I was wondering if there was a way to fill just this symbol with a solid color?

    Simplified Rep.

    Hello, Thank you all for the great answers to my previous question. The problem I am having now is I needed to dimension a Button Carrier with drafts and rounds. The drawing would not dimension the rounds that are drafted. I got some great feedback on how to accomplish this. I used the...

    Cant Dimension Rounds

    I am having quite a problem when trying to dimension rounds in my drawing. I have designed a button that has a 2° draft on all edges. I have added rounds to the corners and edges for ease in removal from the tool. Problem is I cant dimension any of the rounds in the drawing. Pro/E wants to...
