    Can't export CGM file

    I am trying to export some drafting data so that I can place it into a PowerPoint presentation. I have used TIFF files, but the quality is not that great. I tried to export a CGM but nothing happens. Any ideas? Mike Williams

    Thick lines when printing a drawing

    I had this same problem with UG18. The solution I received from drafting was to decrease the size of the model window. First hit the restore down button in the upper right hand corner for the model viewing pane (not the entire UG interface). Then drag the corner of that pane to decrease the...

    Inserting drawing template

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add a drawing template to a sheet that already contains drawing information (views, dimensions, text)? I am using UG18. Thanks Mike Williams Mechanical Designer Agilis Engineering

    Creating a Half Section In Drafting

    Azrael My problem was with the half section feature. I finally got it to work and unchecking the background gave me exactly what I wanted. Thanks Mike

    Creating a Half Section In Drafting

    Can anyone tell me how to create a half section. I have a cylindrical part and want a cross section showing only the upper or lower section and the part centerline. Also, is there an option to show just the area cut by the section plane. Thanks Mike Williams Mechanical Designer Agilis Group

    Non circular/rectangular pattern

    Ben/Tod Thanks for the comments. What is the UG intenal BBS and how do I post to it. I've gone to the EDS web page and cannot seem to find it. Thanks Mike

    Non circular/rectangular pattern

    Thanks vanishingpoint. This would work, however I know there has to be a simpler way to go about this. For example in Pro/E you can do the following: 1. Offset a curve associated with the edge of the flange 2. Create a datum point on the curve (Arclen) 3. Create a hole on the datum point 4...

    Non circular/rectangular pattern

    I have an unusal shaped flange that I need to place bolt holes thru. I have created a curve on the flange and setup points at the locations the holes are required. I can go in and make a hole at each point, but I am sure there is a way(easier) to pattern the hole to the points on the curve...

    Reference text for Unigraphics V18

    looslib I agree with mjcole on the use of layers. Pro/E is pretty efficient at keeping track of layer info automatically. I think UG should at least give you the functionality to choose wether or not you would like it to automatically keep track of that info. I mean come on it is almost...

    Reference text for Unigraphics V18

    Appreciate the recommendation mjcole. The main point of aggrivation for me going from pro to ug is the sketcher. There is alot to be said about the intent manager found in pro. The ug sketcher, to me, functions like an autocad/mechanical desktop nightmare. Does anyone else agree? Guess I'll...

    Reference text for Unigraphics V18

    Thanks Ben. I have done several searches and found only two texts on Amazon as opposed to the 30 or so you can find for ProE. Does EDS somehow restrict training texts to be written for it's software? Guess I'll check out the CAST. Mike

    Reference text for Unigraphics V18

    I'm looking for a book that I can use as a quick reference while picking up Unigraphics. I have fairly good knowledge of solid modeling with proe and various other programs so an itermediate to advanced text would be preferred. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
