    Creating Multiple Images from Pro/E

    I haven't looked into it lately but the old ProFlythru program would automatically make pics of every view that was saved in the model/assy. Unfortunately its replacement, ProductView, doesn't do this. procadman2 Proe Design & Admin NASA Contractor "You can't build a reputation on...

    Pro-Table Woes

    You can send it to me and I'll try it for you if you like. procadman2 Proe Design & Admin NASA Contractor "You can't build a reputation on something you haven't done." H Ford

    ANSI/ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard

    This is one of the attributes of the ISO system. It is many seperate standards. Therefore each section can be updated much more quickly and can be sold seperately. procadman2 Proe Design & Admin NASA Contractor "You can't build a reputation on something you haven't done." H Ford

    M6.5 socket head shoulder screws?

    Surprisingly I haven't ran into this before. I can't find a refernce to 6.5, 13, or 25mm nominal sizes. (Machinery Handbook 26th edition or a Holo-Krome slide ref.) I also haven't seen these sizes in the last 10 years or so while using metric hardware exclusively. They almost seem like...

    Tolerancing Dispute

    Just to add 2 more cents... Many high end software programs do not allow deviation from the ANSI/ASME standard of large dim on top. Personally I do not like using "limits" Most machinists/programmers will shoot for the median dim. The true tolerance also is not always obvious. This...

    INTRALINK???

    Rule of thumb for any PTC product: Treat it like Unix. The software is still writen for Unix and rewritten (translated) for other systems. (Proes default installation to Program Files will not work with some of the add-on software because of the space in the directory name. DUH!) procadman2...

    Pro-Table Woes

    This might be something as simple as a corrupt protable executable. Short of reloading Proe you might try overwriting the executable in the bin directory with an older backup. Also you might try running it from the bin directory. If it works it will tell you whether it's the...

    Rendering settings

    You can save any light or color files you create. I mapkey the generic settings: resolution, file name, etc. procadman2 Proe Design & Admin NASA Contractor "You can't build a reputation on something you haven't done." H Ford

    0 Line width to PDF

    Sorry, I haven't been that route. If I get time I'll try it and see if I can overcome the thick line problem. (I have limited access to software here. It's a government owned facility.) procadman2 Proe Design & Admin NASA Contractor "You can't build a reputation on something you...

    0 Line width to PDF

    One way to control line thickness is to plot the proe file to postscript and then covert that file to pdf using Adobe or GPstill or something similar. procadman2 Proe Design & Admin NASA Contractor "You can't build a reputation on something you haven't done." H Ford

    Drawing format

    Perhaps a temporary solution would be to show the model version on the drawing. Once you found what the newest version is, assuming you never used the backup command into an empty directory which restores the version number to 1.0, you should be able to spot older data without checking every...

    INTRALINK???

    The files would need to be in a database Intralink can see. This can be any database on any computer. I have done this in the past and it works very well. Unfortunately I don't have access where I am currently and I can't give you a step by step. If I can find the "how-to" I'll...

    Pro-Table Woes

    Please explain your problem a little better. Is this a pattern table that you are attempting to modify or does the feature refuse to pattern when the model is opened? Beginning with i or i2 the pattern tables show up in a drop down menu. Did you recently install i2 from an older version...

    "how to use SHALL or MUST"

    MIL-STD-961 is another example of Military versus the real technical world. I have a manual written by someone who assumes he understands 961. Instead of listing required steps in a standard fashion, ie: 2.1 2.1a 2.2 etc., the author begins each requirement with "shall". This goes...

    Config file errors

    Are you sure it's reading the config you are searching? It will read the one in the startup (bin) directory if there is one. Using NT and creating a shortcut to the desktop will allow you to read one in a working directory. One more thing... If you load the config after you start a model or dwg...
