    Are there guidelines or specifications for using silicone to secure large parts against vibration?

    On a lot of electronic assemblies, I see silicone, or even hot glue sometimes, used to secure large components against motion or vibration. I know that solder is weak structurally. Some assemblies have silicone on darn near everything that has more than several millimeters of height. I've seen...

    Slot constraint in Pro Engineer Wildfire 4.0

    I'm working on a vertical chain-driven conveyor system. It is to have several trays attached to the chain, which will move components past a paint sprayer system. The machine is meant to permit an operator to place the components onto the trays, push a button, and come back in 45-60 minutes to...

    FireGL V8650: Fluid 3D, but work in drawings is very sluggish

    I recently got a PC upgrade to an i7-960 CPU, 8GB RAM, Win7 64-bit, and an ATI FireGL V8650 2GB PCIe videocard. And I'm running Wildfire 4.0 M010, 32-bit. The 3d performance is fine; it can manipulate assemblies pretty smoothly, so it seems like the 32-bit Pro-E is working ok with the 64-bit OS...

    Any way to nest existing G-Code jobs?

    I'm not entirely sure if this is even possible, and the only lead I've heard thus far was not terribly promising, but I'd like to ask here to see if there is another option. Background: We manufacture various sizes of simple custom circuitboards as a part of our business, using a router and...

    Background: - I've created a custom format file with the title block and some information there which is matched to parameters in my start part, in the &variable format. - I then created a drawing template which uses this format, and adds in the three standard views, with auto-generated...
