    Help with Surface Colors

    I like to have my models look like the finished product, including the paint with appropriate keep-outs. In Solidworks you can make a "split line" which splits a surface/face, such that you can grab outside the split line and it acts as a separate surface than inside the split line. Then you...

    3D Connexion Filters in ProE

    One thing I really liked about the space mouse in SolidWorks was the ability to filter rotation around a vertex, or axis. That functionality doesn't seem to exist in ProE and I can't find a way to put in teh toolbar like one that exists in SW and I can't find anything in ProE config file for any...

    Hole Table Multiple Letters same size hole

    OK, making 4 patterns of 6-32 holes. (Luckily in this case they were blind holes.) The piece part was a test fixture and we wanted those 4 patterns to have different letters, and we put lines to connect them on the face to more clearly define the groupings. The groupings were to show how each...

    PDF Sketch Entity Issue

    So, background: Using 2007 SP1.0, same in SP0.0 We make Part files which are sketches only, outlines of components on a PCB. Can't extrude/cut, since multi open/closed entities and text. I've started getting the data from our PCB group with the references designators as actual text entities...

    Referencing Section Views

    OK, I've seen this done a couple of ways, but don't quite remember them, know if there is a "standard" way. (Just FYI, using SolidWorks, and I'd think it'd be nice of it to put that type of note in as a feature when move the section views around.) Cut a section, or make a detail view on sheet...
