    SOLAS Requirements

    Hello all; I am developing a life raft light that needs SOLAS approvals. Does anyone have experience with approval agencies that provide SOLAS certifications? I am located in Canada, but don't mind using agencies from elsewhere. Thanks, Steve http://www.3dlogix.com

    Expoy/Potting Material To Seat Wire Thru Plastic

    We are developing a beacon/emergency light that has a 3.5" wire passing through a PC/ABS plastic shell. The unit needs to be water-tight. We are currently using a 2-part potting material (don't have the spec in front of me) but it leaks through all the small cavities around the wire body, so...

    To move both witness lines at once: 1-click the first witness line, 2-press and hold CTRL, 3-click the view where the witness lines belong to, 4-click and drag the witness line, 5-drop the line where needed. Now both lines are aligned. PS. This doesn't work on WF1.0, but does work on WF2.0...

    Moving Both Witness Lines on One Dimension

    In ProE 2001, it was easy to move the pair of witness lines at the same time. In WF2.0 it is a bit different. 1) Hold down the CTRL key, and click the drawing view associated with that dimension and the dimension. 2) Now drag the pointer and both witness lines will move at once. Note: You...

    Cost Comparison of Welding

    Without getting into too many details, I would like to know if a comparible welding process on CR steel and 6000-aluminum is similar in cost? Taking into account weld prep time.

    Who said ProE programmers don't have a sense of humor?

    Just for fun, try this. Make a new assembly, using any 2 parts. Simple parts will do. Assemble the first part as DEFAULT. Assemble the second part. Pick a flat surface from one part, and then from the other part. Once you see the message prompt: "INDICATE OFFSET DIMENSION", click the "X"...

    First Instance of a Pattern

    Color the first instance of a pattern differently from the rest of the part. This way, as you assemble components, it is easy to identify the first pattern instance, making patterned assemblies a breeze. I dont take credit for this tip, I came across it a few years back, from I cant remember...

    Good laptop for 2001 and WF

    I am looking at getting a laptop for both 2001 and WF. I dont plan to use it for heavy assemblies or FEA type work. Most assemblies would be under 1000 components. What experience have you had with the various models from IBM, HP and Dell? Thanks, Steve http://www.sprdesign.com...

    Folder Names,putting them in order

    When you make new Windows folders, use either upper or lower case for the first letter. If you mix the case, then Pro/E sorts folders by upper case first, then by lower case. So you get; D:/Projects/... ABC1 ABC2 ABC3 abc abc-1 Steve http://www.sprdesign.com http://www.3dlogix.com

In a part or assembly model, create a Note, and call it "REV0", enter the note description as "ORIGINAL RELEASE". In the drawing, enter text in the revision table as "&REV0" and now you will see the...

    Mixing TEXT and Real Numbers

    Sometimes you need to pull a Real Number value and mix it with a Text value to create a string. Example, you have a Family table for pipe lengths. With ProE Parameters, you can't mix real numbers with text, unless they are converted using itos (integer to string), and then it rounds up...
