    Rotate Model Parallel to Screen?

    In our previous CAD software I could position my model parallel to the screen with (1) click... With Creo 2.0 I've got it down to (4) by putting the "Reorient" command on the toolbar. Is there a faster way to do this that I have not discovered yet? Thanks

    Extract Part Numbers from IAM ( assembly )

    From a Windows7 Command Line... I would like to run a program that would extract the parts list from all the iam files in a folder. CSV output would be fine. I'd like to get 2 columns... one for the parent (repaets as needed) and the other for the related child part number. Is there a way to...

    Is there a way I can add a column? It seems that the window in my drawing will not expand to include an added column. Thanks.

    BOM Header Modifications?

    I'm exporting a BOM to a CSV file. I need to tweak the header a little bit. For example... I would like to change the "ITEM" column name to "FindNumber". Also, I need to add a line of text before the column names. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

    Decals

    When I insert an image on a part using a BMP file I can see it fine (it's still just a sketch). But if I try to use that image for a decal it just turns grey. What's wrong? Also... Do I have to use BMP files to be able to place an image on a part? Can a JPG file be used? Thanks

    Find Tool

    When I try to use the Find Tool in an R11 assy to search for a component, it acts like its searching but never gives me any feedback. I can test the find tool by looking for something I know is there and I know where it is. When I do the search it will highlight the component in the browser...

    Obround Punch with Work Plane

    I would like to create an obround punch with a Work Plane (or a Thin Feature)running down the center of the slot. This is so I can constrain my parts using that Work Plane in the slot and the axis of the bolt. Can this be done?

    I'm trying to create a sub-assembly (demote). And I get this annoying error "Error RSe Clone Commander". I click on Help and there is NOTHING for this topic. Any ideas?

    "Adaptive" - V7 vs V11

    "Adaptive" seems like a great tool but it appears to be a little buggy. We are about to make the leap to V11. Have the bugs been fixed? I looked for Release Notes on the Autodesk web site but I didn't find anything. Thanks

    Making a View Precise

    I have been lead to believe that you can make individual views Precise in v7. I have Precise View Generation off. I right clicked on a view and saw the option "Make View Precise". I used it once but now it's gone and I can't find it. Was I hallucinating? Thanks

    Broken View Brake Line

    Using v7, I'd like to use a Broken View to cut off the bottom of a view. I can do this by dragging the bottom brake line below the image, but then it throws the bottom brake line into the center of the view. Is there a good way to do this? Thanks

    Contour Flange Profile Problem

    I'm creating some Derived Parts. I have a master sketch in the first part for a set of related parts. Some of my profile lines will not select properly. These are really simple parts. For example, I have 2 adjacent lines shaped like an "L". When I go to select it as the Profile for my...

    Managing Constraints

    Later this year we are supposed to upgrade from v7 to v11. Maybe I'm just missing something, but constraints in Inventor are a pain in the a$$. Have there been any improvements in working with constraints? Give me hope!

    Expanding Feature Tree

    When I hover the cursor over an item in the feature tree, it automatically expands that item. Is there a way to get it to quit doing that? This is version 7. Thanks

    Mouse Button Assingments

    I'm new to Inventor so bare with me. I've got an IntelliMouse with two side buttons. Can I assign the F4 key to one of them so that I can easily use it to rotate a part? Thanks.
