    ALign views

    Instead of snapshots I would do for the assembly either some simplified reps, or family tables to show connectors, and cables in different positions, so you'll always have a real view. im4cad Pro Design Services, Inc. http://www.cadproe.com/pds/home.asp

    How to 'saveas' a part and it's drawing together

    If you make a copy of the drawing, that automaticaly brings the part(s) too in the folder where you save it. After that (if you don't have Intralink) you have to have both the drawing and part(s) in session and rename them as you wish. im4cad Pro Design Services, Inc...

    Scanner to 3D model

    That's the easy way to do it, but the disadvantage is that you're stuck with that shape. The hard, but flexible way is to create datum points, datum curves, and surfaces with a close aproximation, and...lots of work, but you'll be able to change it later if necessary. Either one works depending...

    2001 Format Question

    I guess the best thing is to have the formats "read only" so not anybody can mess around with them. If the format it is updated (usually just one person only is updating) that should be renamed (e.g. a_size_2004 or something) and placed in a specific folder and used for the new drawings, while...

    copying assemblies, parts and drawings

    If you are working with Intralink copy and rename anything within Intralink without even opening Pro/E. If you don't work with Intralink make you copy, open everything (parts, assemblies, drawings) and rename as you wish in session. im4cad Pro Design Services, Inc...

    BOM order

    You can have as many coordinate systems as you want to be able to use the parts in as many assemblies as you want. Mating and aligning parts may become more difficult to handle in case you replace a component that has "children". im4cad Pro Design Services, Inc. http://www.cadproe.com/pds/home.asp

    BOM order

    I am not sure if what you asked for it is possible, but a good practice is to always use coordinate systems for assembling. This way, any component can be suppressed, re-ordered, etc. at anytime im4cad Pro Design Services, Inc. http://www.cadproe.com/pds/home.asp

    Slow sketcher

    How to Create Copy Geom Feature?

    Create first a "published geometry" in the part you're copying from, and use it to create your copy geometry[pipe] im4cad Pro Design Services, Inc. http://www.cadproe.com/pds/home.asp

    Any way to create parallel curves in a sketch?

    Why do you need that? If you want for example to do protrusions, or cuts, or other features, you can use just one curve, or sketch with the option "both sides", or "one side", and you'll have two offset edges. The more complicated your sketch gets, the slower and more...

    flat pattern for cone

    First create the cone, and after that make the flat pattern using either "unbend" or "flat pattern". I used "flat pattern" in the past and it worked well and easy. im4cad Pro Design Services, Inc. http://www.cadproe.com/pds/home.asp

    Help- model_name or Drawing_name

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that you can create as many drawings from the same family table, using as many instances you want, but the drawings will bear the generic's name. You can keep one of them with the generic name, and manually change the names for the others. If there's...
