    Multi-Assembly BOM

    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...

    Aluminum Weldment Stress Relief

    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...

    Deleting Pro/I Reference

    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...

    One directional constraint

    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...

    Exporting images to Word

    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?

    Hiding Axis Tags

    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...

    Automatic Draft Entity Relocation Prevention

    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

    Butt Weld Penetration Depth

    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...

    Drawing Circles

    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

    Steel Corrosion Prevention

    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...

    "Soft" Threads on Hardened Parts

    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? Andy Larson

    Do family tables slow down Pro/Intralink

    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...
