Hello,

Hello,
I found a useful post on this site to make multiple parts that are the same but they are just different sizes through making a table in excel, going thru tools--> programs in Pro/Engineer, reading the converted .prn file into Pro/engineer to generate similar parts of different sizes.

I am trying to calculate the spring constant for a Belleville Washer type spring. The dwg says that the spring force is 33 lbs. when fully collapsed. However the difference between free height and collapsed height is .0065 in. This gives a spring constant of >5000 lbs/in.
Which seems rather...

I am new to Pro Engineer Wildfire 3.0 and I am trying to model threads on a plastic component. I have done this many times in solidworks by drawing the thread profile on a sketch and doing a cut-sweep along a helix with the correct pitch.
In Wildfire I can't seem to create a helix that will...
I am learning Proengineer wildfire 3.0 and I have been using Solidworks since version 2002. In solidworks you can assign shortcut keys.
For instance under tools --> customize you can assign the letter s for the smart dimension and just click on the s button and it will invoke the dimensioning...
the tutorial i am going through is makes a user form with one combo box and two command buttons.
The combo box is a drop down menu that allows you to pick the material and the code matches that material with the appropriate density.
The two command buttons are "OK" and "cancel".
The code...

Hello,
I have an application where I use a motor to turn a shaft and this shaft is linked to a coupler that moves a piston back and forth.
Basically a four bar linkage that produces linear motion from rotary motion of a motor. I am using the linear motion to puncture holes into PTFE.
