I am struggling with a problem that is probably simple to solve for people designing weld connections on a regular basis…
I have a bracket (HSLA SAE 050XF steel) migwelded to a tube (CRS 1015) (one side of the bracket only). This connection is under cyclic loading of let’s say 50 lb for 100,000...
The Project start date is greyed-out and cannot be changed. I can change the start date of the first task but that simply makes the project longer; it does not move the whole project. What am I missing?
Hi,
Is it possible (and if yes - how?) to move the whole schedule in MS Project without changing durations of any tasks. Let's say we create a project that would end on December 15 and it would take 6 weeks to complete all of its tasks (often linked). Now we want to move the completion date to...
Hi,
Thank you for the reply. We eventually derived the number by experiment - asked different people to twist the tube while measuring the torque with a torque wrench (we had to put a little system together in order to take the measurements).

Hi,
Does anyone know what is a maximum torque that an average person can create by twisting let's say 2 inch dia. tube. I realize that "maximum" and "average" are relative terms, but even approximate number will be helpful.
Thank you,

Hi,
I created a sheet metal part with flat pattern at the end to use it for the blank creation. I added 145444_blank with the flat pattern set to “YES” to the family table, and used this instance as the drawing model. The part itself has pretty fine section for the given length, but it...
Dave,
Actually, the mapkey does work after all. I tried it again without any other special settings in config file, and it did work. I use 2002100 cut of Pro/E (release 2001). Good luck.

Hi,
I am creating generic part drawings of a parametric assembly components (part dimensions are driven by relations written in the assembly program). I have 2 questions: 1) If I do regenerate the drawing every time, how do I keep it properly scaled? (I know it could be done with the drawing...

Thank you. Shift is better than nothing, but in 2000i there was a pick "pick many" when you could enclose required dimensions in a window; I believe that there was even a pick "pick all". Where are those picks now? In terms of the mapkey, I don't quite understand how you can...
Well, I checked it by SHOW DIM - got a message "Invalid dimension name", but when I evaluated it, I got a number (113.75). I know where it could have been originally; it was related to the height of the panel, but seems frozen, since when I change the height, the model regenerates; I...
Hi,
I would like to modify a dimension symbol, let's say from D to B. When I try to do it, I get a message that this symbol is reserved or exists already. Apparently I used it before, but then deleted that feature with the symbol B... I don't even remember. Can I find what it's assigned to and...
I don't know if this is the best way, but it works. Go to APPLICATIONS>LEGACY. DRAFT will give you the picks, including MODIFY. You can click on it and modify the drawing scale.

Thank you very much. It's exactly what I needed. I did not realize that Pro/Program has similar syntaxes/capabilities to other programming languages.

Hora,
Additional question to our discussion. I need to expand swapping components to suppressing them when 2 of my input parameters are "blank". In other words, I have a "param_a" and "param_b" that can take certain values. I add a component (subassembly) to my...
Thank you so-o much. It worked perfectly. The only thing I did wrong last time was - missing the .prt extension. Should know better by now that you have to be really careful when writing a program.
Thank you again,
Oxana
Hi Hora,
Thank you for the reply. I have more questions though. Can I drive the interchange by a string parameter, not an integer? I tried to find an answer to this question myself, but probably did something wrong, since I kept getting an error message: cannot find model by name COMP. (I used...
Hi,
I was wondering what is the best way to replace components by Family Table members in an assembly via Pro/Program. What I've been doing is the following: I assemble all Family Members first. Then I add "IF" statements to each component in the program (if input is such-and-such...
