Can this method be used if you are you a PDM system? We are using PDMlink.

There are no features on the sprockets that can be referenced. We do have a keyway on one end of the shaft that the sprockets are welded to, I am not sure how to reference that. These sprockets will be welded to the shaft with no adjustment at the assembly level. We are just not sure how to...
How would one show using GD&T the timing of (2) indentical sprockets on a shaft? There will be a conveyor chain with slats that will run on the sprockets and need to be timed pretty close or there is a good chance that the conveyor slats will skew and possibly become jammed.

Here is the story line. We have a weldment/assy that is complete, drawing and all. We need to make an almost identical weldment/assy with the exception of (2) parts. Is there a way to do a Save a Copy, give it a new number, change the (2) parts in the weldment/assy open the drawing and change...
SeasonLee,
That was exactly what I was looking for, a good comparison of the two standards. Thanks to everybody else for your responses.

Does anybody have a cheat sheet on what the differences are between the two standards? Doing a search for the differences give me many opportunities to attend classes to learn what the differences are. I just need a quick and dirty list of the major differences, any help would be appreciated...
Goto someplace like www.acidfonts.com or fonts.com and find yourself some stencil fonts that allow all the drops of the letters to stay attached to the sheet. We use cut text on a regular basis for tooling identification.

I was thinking it was possible to pattern a component in an assembly to follow a sketch/path. I can not find in any info on how to do this, I have found the info for patterning a feature in a part but not a component in an assembly. Am I wasting my time thinking this is possible, my memory has...
Thanks for the responses guys, after I posted this the ASME standard mysteriously appeared on my desk the next morning. KENAT, I looked up the figures stated above and that showed me exactly what I was looking for. We will go with the positional tolerance. Again thanks for the help.

How would one dimension a cross hole in a round shaft? One method that was presented was to use a straightness on the cross hole and two perpendicular call outs to the axis of the hole, is there a preferred method of doing this? We have not been able to find any examples of this anywhere...
Is there a way to add a chamfer to a weldment (machined feature), or does the chamfer need to be added to the component part it self and the display of it controlled by a configuration. It has been a long time since I have had to machine after welding and I thought there was a way to add the...
I would use configurations. One for the casting and one for the machined (finished model). You can control your features via the configurations.

Try going to Tools>Options>System Options>Relations/Snaps and uncheck the box for automatic relations and see if that helps.

I have been asked to do a little research to see if Visio plays nice with Pro/e. We are going to be changing over to Pro/e from Solidworks in a about a month and they want to know if you can embed a Visio file into a drawing in Pro/e like you can in Solidworks. I can not find any information on...
Does anybody know if you can take Chris's database and combine it with the existing SWX database file. I have not tried it yet, just wondering if anybody else has attempted it. Thanks Chris it will come in handy.
