    Ecad import using refdes

    I have got a PCB that has 5 switches on. One of the switches is a different part than the other 4, but they all use the same PCB footprint/symbol. As the refdes is unique to each PCB component, is it possible to use the refdes to tell ProE which part to assemble. Please help Jeff

    Datums & Layers

    Can anyone tell me if this is possible. In an assembly, I want to have all the datum planes that are created in the assembly to be on a separate layer to the component datum planes. It may be something to do with using rules, but I don't know how to do this properly. Thanks in advance. Jeff

    How to 'saveas' a part and it's drawing together

    I need to modify a part which then needs up-issuing. The issue number is part of the filename, so I need to 'saveas' the part. The problem I have is that I also need to copy and rename the drawing too. Does anyone know how to do this?
