I just found out the proe library has a neat feature: it shows you a verbose text descripton of both directories and parts to the right of the filename/foldername in the proe file/open dialog box. The knowledge base says there is a [foldername].mnu file in each directory (of the proe...
I've had the same problem. It has to do with line checking. When you go to file>print, go to configure, then to the model tab, and at the bottom change line checking to 0. The lines should print then. It worked for me. I'm trying to figure out what line checking does and why it screws up my...
Resinate Corp. developed a database that is exactly what you're looking for, then promply when out of business. Another company bought them, and I think they eventually intend to sell something like this, or already do. You might try a we search for "Resinate materials database" and you'll...
This is how you create a solid protrusion from a surface:
1. create the surfaces
2. Make sure the surfaces you've created completely enclose a space (you can't have any openings)
3. Create a surface merge feature. You may have to do this two surfaces at a time until you have a surface merge...
After getting the image I want on screen, I use Hijaak Pro's screen capture to get just the active window, then I can save it as a jpeg or any other format I want. Then, in Word, Insert>Picture>from file, and I've got the picture I want. I also create WMF's from Cadkey (Export dwg from pro...
I don't know about programming proE to automate changing positions for you, but I use Hijaak Pro to capture images of my designs. I just get the image on the screen the way I want, do a screen capture, then save it as a jpeg. I then pull those jpegs into Word and create a document with multiple...
Does anyone know how to print to a given scale from ProE? There isn't any 'print to scale' menu pick in the print dialog. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but I haven't found it yet.
I'm using Wildfire too, but haven't used it for long. In 2001, the color.map file stores all of your custom colors in a palette so you don't have to recreate them when you need them. the pro_colormap_path would tell proE where the color.map file is so it reads it in automatically whenever you...
The only way I've found to wrap long strings in a repeat region is to break it up into different parameters. For instance, If I put &partname&dashname as a parameter string into my title block, if I wrap text, proE will put the &dashname string under the &partname string. I guess if you break...
You can add a note to the drawing using '&todays_date' as the text, and the current date will show up. But it will be static. Once it's there, it won't change to the current date the next time you print the drawing. ProE is lacking in things like this.
I concur. ProE has a bad habit of letting me accidentally move things that I don't want to move, or constraining things that I don't want to constrain. Setting 'lock modified dimensions' in Wildfire helps, but there should be a config.pro option to force it leave the sketch entities alone...
I'm having a problem with disappearing dimensions on drawings in Wildfire. I showed dimensions on views in two separate drawings and got the dimensions I wanted. Then, later on, without doing anything other than dimensioning and adding notes that I can remember to those views or the drawing...
You MUST create that datum ON THE FLY, so to speak. That is, you MUST create that datum through the axis as a reference for the sketch (right, top, left, etc.) or pattern will NEVER work when trying to pattern a feature around a circle. So, you will pick or create a datum plane (as a sketch...
