Hi all, I have a solid part that I just remodeled from scratch. In wire frame mode I zoom in using the scroll wheel on my mouse and as the 3d geometry is zooming in areas of the part will disappear, strange line will crisscross my part, Does anyone have solution. I tried shutting down my...
Hello gang, I have a solid model that on one end of the part it start in solids but I had to develop the opposite end of the part in surface / quilts. I have a mixture of solids quilts that have been solidified, external copied geometry from other files that came into Pro/E via IGES / Step...
