Our customer requests that next to the BOM baloons must be call-outs for standard items such as bolts, nuts, dowels, etc. I managed to make this show up on print, but problem I have is that call-outs cannot move on opposite side (see attached picture). Baloon 0008 is OK but detail call-out 0010...
Is there a way to put qty in detail drawing to automatically update from assembly? In other words, can I somehow reference qty from assembly to detail print?
I found a solution for it by setting "intf_out_layer" to "part_layer" which makes standard set of layers:
DXF/DWG Layer Name - Entities
<part_name>_Dxf_Axis - All axes
<part_name>_Dxf_Continuous_Line - All continuous lines
<part_name>_Dxf_Hidden_Line - All hidden lines...
My customer requires that all documentation come in DWG with their title block and layering scheme. This means that everything must be placed into predefined layers. There is a layer for solid lines, dahsed lines, center line, etc. I tried to make layers in Pro/E drawing and to name those layers...
We installed new Pro/E v4.0 and some of the settings are lost. I need a config option that instruct Pro/E to add an axis to any round feature.
Thank you!
What value extract function returns as in this example?
string_val = abcdef
ret_val=extract(string_val,1,7)
As you can see, extract function should give 7 strings long word but parameter is actually 6 strings long. Is it possible that extract func. returns NULL value?
How can I detect with IF...
Part with pocket, threaded blind holes are on the opposite side of the pocket. Holes go thru where the pocket is placed. In a drafting module I see threads coming out where pocket is. Is there some setting I can set so it does not show length of threads if they go thru?
When I open the part A without opening part B nor assembly, everything is still there. No problems at all. There is a yellow sign saying "Model for a variable reference pattern is missing". Even drw files are just fine.
Here is the problem:
Part B mounts on part A. The final position of part B relative to part A is not known yet. I do know position of mounting holes of part B (they can change also), but since I do not know part's B final position relative to part A, every time I move/rotate part B, I have to...
I just have found out that we have only BASIC Pro/E software. Nothing stated above I cannnot use. Now I will have to do everything manually.
Thank you, everyone, for great help!
Thank you everyone! I will now try to do what you have told me. I am very busy but I will inform you on how thing worked out as sson as possible. Thank you again!
Thank you for the answers. Still have some questions:
1. What is INTERCHANGE assemblies and how to use it?
2. Is there a way (even if I have to use programming) to replace one part (Part B) with another (part C) and to maintain reference for the holes on part A and how to do it?
3. Is it...
I have the part B which is the base for part A. Part A has holes and I place holes on part B to match holes on part A. I do that in assembly module. I am using axis of holes on part A to reference position for holes on part B. That way, if I move part A, holes on part B follow holes on part A...
