    Cross Hatching Patterns - DOTS

    I need to cross hatch using a dot or cross shaped pattern. How do I create this? Changing the line styles so they look like dots will not work as they still print out as lines!

    EDIT DIM VALUES

    I need to edit the dim value on some dimensions. (don't ask why) I have to do it for certification drawings which require max/min values attached to the parts. How can I do this without sketching lines and arrows?

    Best practice unmachined/machined states of model?

    I have had this problem for years. I have a casting and a machined part, both have drawings. "HOW DO I DO IT" I ask PTC. Answers ... no idea ...... This problem must be one of the most BASIC ones to deal with, yet I still have no hard fast rule. Having tried MERGE, ASSEMBLIES...

    SAVE_AS with family tables and drawings

    1) When I do a save as operation on a part/assm, the instance gives a warning that the name already exist. Which it does! How do I avoid this? 2) I have a drawing of an assm. (box and lid) The Generic has the door closed, the Instance with door open. Both assm are in the same drawing. When I...

    Control of parts in layers - Top level and below

    Thanks for the reply, but my problem is that I want to blank off an item in the top level assm which belongs to a sub-assm level build. Say I have a sub-assm which has a transport bolt in it. The bolt needs to be shown in the sub-assm but not in the top level assm. Hence I need to be able to...

    Control of parts in layers - Top level and below

    I need to control the display of parts/sub-assm (eg: blank)at the top level, BUT without blanking off the same parts/sub-assm at there own level? I have used layers to do this, but blanking a part within a sub-assm at the top level will alway blank the part at the sub-assm level. Is there an...

    Drawing dims go missing

    I am not using Intralink. But the problem has been solved by Rand. It was a config setting for 'create_drawing_dims_only' which should be set to 'yes' I have to say that I have not noticed this effect for the past 3-4 years!

    Drawing dims go missing

    When using the save as in drawing mode, dims which are common during the save as operation are 'linked' When you delete a dims in the new file, the same dim in the old file goes aswell!!!! Rand have said this is a bug and are looking for a fix. I am unsure what other 'link' are in place. Has...

    Proe drawings and parts links

    How can I insert a new/modified part into a current drawing without losing all my dims/views/sections/notes ... etc (not as a family mamber). (SolidEdge can do it without any fuss!)
