    Making edges black in R2001

    To make threads look like threads, you need to add a helical sweep cut or protrusion to the model with the correct thread parameters, like pitch, major OD and minor OD etc... As for the black edges... Sorry but I don't think there is a way to do it. Best of luck, Bob

    Surface Transitions

    This type of message usually appears when the base surface is too curved to create the offset surface or thickness for the solid protrusion. If you get this message, start by making the offset surface or thickness smaller. Keep going smaller until the offset is created. Then try to increase...

    Split large "hole tables" on drawing 2000i2

    No... You mis-understood the problem. This is a Pro/E "hole table" not a regular table. Hole tables can be created by adding "holes" NOT cuts to a model and then creating a "hole table" on the print by having a coordinate system that the table refers to. In the...

    Split large "hole tables" on drawing 2000i2

    Hi, I've got a drawing of a part that contains a large hole table. The part is a "heatsink" for an electrical device. there are about 75 holes in the part. I have no problem creating the hole table on the print, but because of the large qty of holes, my table line spacing is quite...
