    Assembly model tree feature display

    Hi Troy, Firstly get the model tree configuration how you want it, once you've done that choose settings at the top of the model tree and 'save settings file'. Now go into tools\options and set the mdl_tree_cfg_file option to point to your recently saved tree.cfg file. Don't forget to save the...

    Importing PCBs as 3D models in Pro/E from Allegro/Cadence

    Hi Jay, I have used this many times as we too use Allegro and ProE. The best bit about the Ecad interface is that you can substitute proper models of your PCB components with the blocky components Ecad creates. All you need to do is import the EMN & EMP files, this will create your PCB assembly...

    Where did you learn Pro E?

    I learnt it by just using it with various tutorials that I obtained on the internet. I didn't find it particularly difficult to pick up. Jeff :-) It's all part of life's rich tapestry!

    Emboss Graphics?

    When using a quilt/surface to add/remove solid geometry, the command has three choices: Solidify, cut and patch. Solidify and cut are obvious, but I don't know what the patch does. Why would one use patch instead of the others? Thanks in advance Jeff :-) It's all part of life's rich tapestry!

    Rendering question

    Hi Scott, The key to rendering is the correct use of the lighting. The default lights will make the final rendering look washed out. What I found to be a good way to get started is to turn all the default lights off. Then it's easier to see the effects of any new lights that you add. Also...

    Ecad import using refdes

    I have got a PCB that has 5 switches on. One of the switches is a different part than the other 4, but they all use the same PCB footprint/symbol. As the refdes is unique to each PCB component, is it possible to use the refdes to tell ProE which part to assemble. Please help Jeff

    wildfire 2.0

    Hi Mark, The datecode for Wildfire installed is 2003490. It's such a pain that you cannot save to an earlier version, and I don't mean saving as a neutral file etc. That is soooo long winded. Tehe problems I have is that most of the companies we deal with use 2001 and aren't willing to change...

    Unbending a sheet metal part

    It sounds like you have created the part in normal modelling mode and not the sheetmetal mode. Send me the part and I'll have a look. In the email, please tell me which ProE version you are running. jeff.taylor@pure-digital.com Jeff
