    Yellow Text

    It worked! I had given up, but ohio30 found the solution! I was having trouble getting the OEM file correct, so I copied your example and had it in no time. I thank you, my boss thanks you, and my vendors thank you very much! Problem solved. Don BCF Technology Mohawk Industries

    Wildfire to PDF

    Hey guys, how about posting a web address along with the good advice? We can download a copy of "X" at ? Save us a little time hunting. Thanks. Don BCF Technology Mohawk Industries

    Missing "+"

    My "symmetric_tol_display_standard" is set to "std_asme". Is there another setting that I am missing? Thanks. Don BCF Technology Mohawk Industries

    Missing "+"

    When I specify a "0" for an upper or lower tolerance, Wildfire omits the sign in front of it. It will show a "+" or a "-" in front of the tolerance with a value other than "0". I want to see both signs. Is there some setting to change this? Thanks. Don...

    Pin Connection Problems

    I’m having problems making a simple pin connection with Wildfire Mechanism. I’m selecting the axis of a hole in a block (part of a larger assembly) and the axis of a hole in a small bar the axis of rotation and the face of the block and a face of the bar as the translation constraint.

    Wildfire to PDF

    It works! It's not quite as slick as generating them with the "GhostScript" set up, but it works fine. Thanks Ben. Don BCF Technology Mohawk Industries

    pick many for "hiding" components

    When I use this method to “hide many”, sometimes only the two items selected will highlight, nothing in between. I have learned this is a bad sign and that before long Pro/E is going to crash. I save everything, close everything, and reboot. This may be a quirk that only affects my machine. Just...

    pick many for "hiding" components

    Open the model tree, select the first object to hide, hold down the "Shift" key and select the last object to hide. Right-click on any of the highlighted items and select "Hide".

    Pipe Threads

    I simply create a hole of the proper drill size, and then use "insert", "cosmetic", and "thread". This isn't exactly correct, as there is no taper, but it suffices for cosmetic purposes.

    Converting ProE drawings to DWG problem!!!

    Check out my thread concerning yellow text. thread554-13324 I'm sure it won't cure all your problems, but it helped me quite a bit. Hope it helps you.

    Shrinking Clearance Holes

    Don't think that's the problem. Most are just standard clearance holes located from two surfaces. Others are the same except they have been patterned. The entire pattern changes.

    Shrinking Clearance Holes

    I'm having a problem with clearance holes shrinking in my models. I'll put in a "free fit", counterbored clearance hole for an M4 screw, for example, and it looks fine. Later I notice that the hole has shrunk to about 2.7 mm. (The counterbore doesn't change.) I'll redefine it and save...
