    DwgEditor zoom direction with mouse wheel

    Delete PART of group

BUT, if I use ProDesktop Express, the imported component file names...

    Lock all dims permanently or toggle?

    Is there a way to Lock all sketch dimensions permanently in config.pro? Thus, disabling the ability to drag sketch entities with the mouse. The reason I ask is that I have been having trouble accidentally dragging sketches when editing a model, especially with WildFire's new "Direct...

    Casting design practices

    As I don't do much casting/mold design, I am a bit curious about how people do this sort of work all the time. From another discussion here, it seems that many actually design the 'as cast' part first and then use a configuration or insert part or assembly feature(s) to cut away material for...

    Standard *.hol files

    Is there anywhere that I can download standardized *.hol files for ProE? Specifically, I am looking for a *.hol for ACME series threads right now, but it would be nice to find a place with a collection of standard *.hol files for the public. Thanks!
