On the topic of adding a 'bogus' dimension...
You can always use (reference) the actual dim in the text by using the &D#... That way when the dim does change, it will change the 'bogus' dim as well...
Just a thought.

Another interesting tid bit...
I had been working from home using a VPN connection (thus using my same FlexLM server) and the files I started from home didn't seem to have the problem. When I started using files from the office, the problem seemed to spread to the files I had originally...
I searched my entire drive to find extra config.pro files that I didn't intentionally have. None found. (none at all in the load_point dir.)
I only have 1 config.pro file in the starting directory.
When I open and apply the desired config.pro file I get no errors.
I'm running 2001 with...
That's the response I get from PTC. Not much help.
Does anyone know anything that might cause this? I've tried to ping the site directly with no response.
I've been trying to get to the PTC.com site for wfew months and have been unable to get it to load. This seems like an odd question, but I was curious if anyone else had problems with the PTC site?
I wanted to download a new copy of Pro/DESKTOP as well as search the knowledgebase, but I can't...
When I open a part I get this error message...
"1 error found in config file. Do you want to apply?"
If I click yes it seemes to open the file fine. It alsoo writes a cfgerror.txt file containing the following...
"Line 5: Unknown keyword NOTES."
I've searched my config...
Interesting story "AboveRedline". I had a similar problem with my old company. We had a seat that we paid the full $25K for. The company bought it before I got there, and that was back when PTC just wanted to sell stuff... Didn't matter if you didn't need it (not that this has really...
Actually, I've figured out the problem. MS NetMeeting was running in the background (even though I had told it NOT to). Apparently, NetMeeting and the DirectX drivers don't seem to get along. At least their 3D drivers don't.
I'm having a problem with my display. When I start Pro, I can see the desktop through the model window (and therefore cannot see my model). I've tweeked everything I can think of, to no avail. I have another user who uses this machine at night and he has no problems. So, it would appear to...
I currently have Win2PDF. I'm running Pro/E 2001. When I initially purchased Win2PDF, it worked well. Sometimes it would make Pro crash, but not always. After I installed the latest build of Pro (2002310) it stopped working all together. It crashes EVERY time now. I emailed the company and...
I've been using Pro/E for about 9 years. We originally started with the $25k seat of Pro/E (release 17) with all the bell and whistles. As we added seats, we scaled back what we really needed. I've been using only Pro/Foundation for the past 4-5 years without any issues. I design 1000+ piece...
Actually you were halfway there... You saved a 'system colors' file when you did the save, but you didn't tell Pro/E to load it when you startup. Typical Pro/E behavior, but not typical 'windows' behavior.
In order load your system colors at startup, add the option...
I have been creating PDF files of my drawings for documentation and filing. This also keeps the non-engineering personel out of Pro/E. I just succesfully tried to create a PDF of a model. It was only 97K. So this would work for images of solids as well.
I purchased a simple program called...
I agree with Sergi... You should use the 'datum-on-the-fly' as your 'orientation' reference (either TOP,BOTTOM,RIGHT or LEFT) If you don't do this Pro will sometimes add constraints that are relative to the orientation reference. ALL 'horizontal' & 'verticle' contraints are relative to this...
