    Blue Tinge When Zooming.

    This sounds a bit bizare but when I zoom in and out of a model, the model gets a blue tinge to it. Sometimes a red ghost image is left on the screen also, this actually looks pretty cool, but is getting a bit boring now. I am running a Intense 3D Wildcat Pro 4110 graphics card, and Pro-E version...

    Shrinkwrap in Drawings

    To try and make some the largest assemblies managable I create simplified reps of external components and then create a surface subset (non-associative). This is great the model is very light and looks identical, only problem is it can only be displayed in purple wirwframe in the drawing, wich...

    Maximum memory Pro-E can use

    We have recently accuired some new machines that have slots for up to 8 gig of memory. The computer guy tells me that windows can only handle 2 gig. I say this as we are struggling with large assemblies. I find it hard to believe that we are limited to 2 gig of memory. Does anyone now if it...

    Views of a Mechanism

    I have created a mechanism and it moves and it is nice. I would like to illustrate the range of travel on my drawing, is there a way I can show the mechanism in two different positions in two seperate views, and keep the views parametric? Cheers.

    3D CROSS SECTION

    How do you create a 3d cross section in a drawing, i.e. a view that is ISO. I have failed so far and the only way I can think to do it is to create a cut through half of the part, and blank it off in other views, this is messy and has the potential for disaster!

    Pitch Circle Diameter Dimensioning

    When creating a circular pattern of holes on a part I use dimension and angle pattern, this works very well. The machine shop though require co-ordinate dimensions. I could convert the pattern to a table (so co-ordinate dimensions are displayed on the drawing), but if i wanted to change the hole...
