    wires in shaded view

    Hi all, Using WF 3.0 version M70 We just started using the cable module. I have a shaded drawing view with wires in it; I wish to see the wires but not the hidden wires behind a PCB. What is the config.pro option or Drawing set up file option to correct this problem? Jeff Tofflemire

    helical sweep using a sketched trajectory

    Hi All, Using WF3. Is there a way to create a helical sweep using a 3D sketched trajectory? The trajectory was made using datum points. I am trying to make a cable harness with twisted pairs, we do not have the Pro Cable. Tofflemire

    can not change bom balloon attachment

    Hi All, WildFire 3. I have a drawing that will not allow me to change the edge or surface attachment of any balloons. If I create a new drawing and quickly show a view with balloons of the same assy, it will allow the attachment to change. Is there a setting that I am missing? Tofflemire

    SMT bend table files

    Hi All, Using Wildfire 3.0 Is there a way to have a SM Part call up 2 different SMT bend table files? This is if I would like to build the same part but with 2 different AWG's. I was thinking this could be done inside of a family table some how. Tofflemire

    view graphics in Intralink

    Hi All, I am unable to view the drawing in Intralink. I have the config.pro setting save_drawing_picture_file to embed. I am also not able to see the part or assembly models. I also have save_model_display to shading_lod. What do I have to set to be able to view this in Intralink Tofflemire

    BOM TABLE WITH MULTI INSTANCES

    Hi All, Using wildfire 3.0 Can you make a BOM table in a drawing to report all QTY's in separate columns for each family table instance? And still be live balloons? Is there a work around other than manually entering? Tofflemire

    Sheet Metal Hole table

    Hi All Happy New Year to you. Is there a way to lock the location of Ref Designators for Hole tables? Config.pro or Drawing Setup file setting? Every time I update the hole table every REF Designator moves back to a default location. TIA Tofflemire

    Drawing Table 2D repeat region

    Hi All, I have 2D repeat region showing all the family table instances/and features set in the family table. I have this one feature (which is not used in a variation) is set to "N" (Not used). The repeat region shows up "N", is there a relation or filter to put "-" instead of N? The reason...

    define symbols

    Hi All, I new to Wildfire 3 from ProE2001. A lot has changed but mostly same functions. Can you define a balloon symbol to call up ASM.MBR.NAME by adding :X (X= some internal id)? Another question. In sheet metal, we have map keys set up to load the sheet AWG and bend tables for each, is...

    text column in repeat region

    Hi Jeff, Thanks, I will try it when I can get a seat of ProE. It looks like what I want to do. Tofflemire

    text column in repeat region

    Hi All, I have just made a jump from ProE 2001 to Wildfire 3. I am have trouble making a column to accept text in a drawing repeat region. When I enter text in one box, it repeats for all the boxes in that column. In Pro2001 I had to define that box by enter text by keyboard. In Wildfire I do...

    multiple instances in repeat region

    Hi All, Is it possible to create one repeat region to have separate columns for all family table instances to show up QTY of each part in each assembly? TIA Tofflemire

    Export Product Structure

    Hi Sarvajit, If you have a BOM table (repeat region) on a drawing, you can also save that table as text file. Tofflemire
