What are the advantages or disadvantages of a deformed thread locknut as compared to a nylon insert locknut, other than higher service temperature?
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone know if a traditional DOD-style, multi-assembly BOM can be created in Pro? What I am trying to do specifically is create a two-dimensional repeat region for multiple assemblies. The rows in this table should list all parts found in all assemblies, and the columns should list the...
What is the proper temperature for stress relief of a 6061 aluminum weldment? I have an internal company reference that lists 625-675 degrees F for 4 hours, but one of our suppliers told me they typically hold for 2 hours at 375 deg F. What would the difference be in final material strength...
I created a Pro/E interchange assembly to swap out a large number of fasteners in my "product" assembly. This replacement was a one-time design change - I will never use the interchange assembly again. However, when I attempt to check the product assembly into Pro/Intralink, I am required to...
I have created a model of a welded structure using shell and beam elements. This structure has two mounting plates that are bolted to a concrete floor. I have fixed the plates at the bolt holes in all directions. I would also like to constrain the the base plates across the rest of their...
Can anyone tell me an efficient way to export an image of a Pro/E object into a format that can be inserted as a picture into an MS Word document? I am interested in transfering both shaded color images and black and white drawing type images, and need to strike a balance between file size and...
I am currently running Pro/E 2001. In this version, when I blank the layer containing an axis feature, the axis tag is hidden on a drawing. On drawings created with older versions of Pro/E, the axis tag text has to be placed in a separate step on a blanked layer in order to hide it on the...
Does anyone know of a config.pro setting or other teqnique that can be used to prevent Pro/E from repostioning draft entities (notes, dimentions, 2D geometry) when the size of the related part or assembly is changed?
Thanks,
Andy
Can anyone tell me approximately what thickness material can be butt welded from one side without any edge preparation and still acheive full penetration (or close to it). Is this value dependant on the material or process that is used? I am primarily interested in structures made from low...
In Pro/E 2001 how do you:
1) Create a construction circle in sketcher when intent manager is turned on?
2) Draw a circle on a drawing (2D geometry) that is a specific diameter?
Thanks,
Andy
Can anyone tell me the appropriate procedure or specification for the welding of 304L stainless plate to ASTM A500B carbon steel tubing? The application is a piece of handling equipment for an aerospace company.
Thanks
I design fixtures, machinery and other production tooling used in our factory. This equipment is often made of steel and protected with paint. However, some items (leadscrews, rollers, gears, part locators, etc) can not be painted. Although the equipment is located inside and is kept dry...
I have seen a note on drawings of items such as shafts with threaded ends to harden the part but leave the threads soft. What is the purpose of this, and how is it accomplished?

My company is planning to switch form Pro/PDM to Pro/Intralink. We have heard a rumor that the use of family tables, especially lengthy ones, significantly hinders the performance of Pro/I. Can anyone verify or refute this? I am especially interested to hear from individuals working on large...
