sure enough, made it independent and tweaked away. thanks orbit. i've been having other issues since coming in and trying to tune a config. i'm still seeing dimensions i can't change tolerance schemes for and kinda lumped the problems together. Ed Lee Sr. Designer Orbital Sciences Corp...

hey folks, quick question: i've been handed a model and wanted to redefine a feature sketch to add a reference, but i'm getting "References to additional 3d geometry may not be made; please select again". i've seen this before when messing around with a new config.pro (which i most certainly...

ah there it is. the rpt.rel.qty did it. just a simple change to the stored tables. i like that. incidentally, i tried an upper and lower case q, with no difference. maybe this annoyance has passed with wf3 (which i forgot to specify). i'm going to look into using the bulk_item method you have...

hi folks, okay, here's what i have: top assy is a skid with pressure vessels, pipe runs, cabinets, etc. each pipe run is a subassy of fittings, valves, gauges, etc located on a datum curve defined by points (offset csys). the pipe itself is a part created in assy and thin protrusions extruded...

it still sounds like the directory path is having a hiccup. double check for any conflicting entries, spaces in the path, maybe another config in the startup sequence. do you have any old formats that *do* work? personally, i keep most of these options (company standards) in the config.sup to...

i can't get it to work either. although, ptc doesn't explicitly indicate the two functionalities (combination display states and shaded views) can be used together in drawings, i was just making the common mistake of "assuming". and we all know....well, you know. [bigsmile] thanks for the help...

these two options go hand-in-hand: save_object_in_current NO override_store_back NO Ed Lee Sr. Designer H2Gen Alexandria, VA

hi folks, i could've sworn this was what i was looking for, but i'm not seeing it. what i want is an iso view on a drawing showing a combination of no hidden/wf and shaded parts/subassys. however, i can only get views showing fully shaded or with a mix of wf/nohid/hid. am i missing something in...

ahh crap.. SPR Details Call # 1250475 Status Open Severity High Created Date 17-May-2006 Last Updated 20-Dec-2006 Closed Date Respond By Date 12-Oct-2006 Description When feature dimensions is modified by selecting the feature>#Right click, Edit, the value is not...

...that is to say, they aren't regenerating at all. i have one part, for example, that has several instances. none of the instances are regenerating with their tabled values. they can verify just fine, but when opened, i get a part geometrically the same size as the generic, but showing the...

have you also created sheet 2 in your formats? sounds like you're using the same title block on consecutive sheets. Ed Lee Sr. Designer H2Gen Alexandria, VA

doh! note to self: search KB first, ask questions later.... https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=116213 Ed Lee Sr. Designer H2Gen Alexandria, VA

as far as i can tell, .map and .dmt provide the same info. maybe .dmt is just a new extension for a transition into new WF code. and apparently, with your initial set loaded, opening another set appands to the existing, and you can save that. dunno about manual editing though. the syntax is...

Thanks mike, I can use some of that. I won't have the PO or rev in there, although you've touched on another discussion I’ve had with engineering here about the material ordering process. I’m of the school that we try our best not to build or order from any preliminary documents. but I’ll have...

i remember this used to be an issue in early 2001 versions, if you messed around with it too much it would freak out your buttons. well, i think i've done it again in WF3, but wanted to see if anyone else may have seen it for another reason. the buttons for view, display...

i have my req in for asme y14.34 just to be safe, but would like to query the experts. i've done very little work at companies that require on-the-drawing-boms and would like to hear some of your recommendations. fyi, we are mostly an ASME pressure vessel house, kinda young. i'm being slated...

more from the help files: To use predefined ruled layers, you must define a template model with the required ruled layers specified. This model is designated as the template layer model. To access the template layer model set the default_layer_model config option to <layer_model_name>. Where...

i'd be interested to hear opinions on this too, even tho the engines for these cards are oriented more for high-end games and vid production. i built an AMD dual-SLI gaming rig last year and tried the student ed on it with poor results. but sli was kinda new at the time, and i was just foolin...

by all means, yammer away. from your assessment, i see a glimmer of use to be had from this. i just didn't see the need to "ping" an external object for info. while improving (i hope!) the way we create and control models, i'm trying to severely limit the creator's ability to veer from the...

i'm trying to determine a suitable scheme for controlling layers with a combination of configurations. still fairly new to WF3, so i wanted to explore the different functionalities. just not sure if the layer templates give any more advantage over setting up rules in the start parts. i'm...
