I'm using Wildfire SE at home. <<Oh to be a UG user who now gets to work with Pro/E.>> Actually, I would be happy to just find a job at this point <grin>, using UG or Pro/E or Solidworks or Inventor. I like Pro/E very much, I also like UG very much. I think you may learn to like UG after you...

UG still chokes on spaces and capitol letters in directory paths.

Using a make datum for the reference worked. I was picking the protrusion from the screen for the pattern command when I should have been picking the group from the model tree. <Slapping myself on the forehead> Live and learn Peter

Thanks JW, Yes I have thought of that. It would require a &quot;base&quot; extrusion and then other sketches referenced only to that extrusion (normal to the axis of rotation)that wittle away to form the exact profile and then pattern the whole group, that just seems more complicated than it...

How do I create a radial pattern of a protrusion when the protrusions sketch plane is normal to the axis of rotation. I'm trying to create a radial pattern of a protrusion around a circular base protrusion (similar to a gear and it's teeth). I've tried creating reference datums on the fly to...

You are probably trying to reference geometry that was created after the sketch that you are re-defining was created. One way to avoid this is to &quot;roll back&quot; the model so that the &quot;insertion point&quot; is right after the sketch that your re-defining, this will remove features...

Yes, Datums on the fly are alive and well in Wildfire

I don't know about ProE 2001 but in Wildfire after defining a section in the assembly with &quot;Tools/Model Sectioning...&quot; you can &quot;Right Mouse Click&quot; on the section name and select &quot;Set Visible&quot; the dialog that comes up has a &quot;Clip Front&quot; option, this clips...

Hey, Thank you Jozsef, that worked fine! I don't know how I missed that one when I was searching those setting variables. Peter
