    Creating a sweep, cut along a curve WF 3.0

    A trajectory for Insert -> Sweep needs a section XY orientation reference which doesn't exist as the curve is not associated with a datum plane, surface, solid face, etc. There are several ways you could get to where you want to be. Project your existing curve to the cylindrical surface...

    Pro/E Transparency Issues

    I believe there is / was a config statement graphics win32_gdi that forced software emulation of graphics functions(?). May be worth a try (or search your install & admin guide for the term to see if it's still applicable). -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

    Creating external reference without assembly mode

    Ok. Without AAX I believe the 'in assy context' relationship is all that's going to be available to you. (I don't have AAX either and am not sure it would offer anything in this specific context.) There are various ways / strategies you ~could~ use including your first attempt. The way...

    Creating external reference without assembly mode

    I believe the answer(s), which I can't help you with, will be dependent on whether, or not, you have AAX. Just as a curiosity; why do you want to circumvent the typical top down design reference created in the context of an assembly? -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

    Help needed for ex ProE user

    > Copying of surfaces which are then manipulated ... Ah! I see. Then referencing of edges would be 'edging'? Good luck with it. -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

    Parametric models and ST?

    Metric sizes not diameter sizes

    In the drawing Menu: View -> Show and Erase... Once the interface is open Menu: Help -> What's This? What you probably want to do is Show Notes by Feature & View. -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

    Metric sizes not diameter sizes

    The dimension is associated with the thread diameter. You should be able to show the associated hole note which will (unless your *.hol file's been modified) list the tap drill size. -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

You might try a 'shotgun' approach: get them to send you several export variations; i.e. IGES as surfaces and solid b-reps, etc., any variation they can export.

    Replacing Missing Surfaces

    Can you post the neutral translation that went into the Import Feature? If it was an IGES I suspect there may be some clues in it that don't show up in the picture (maybe not even in the Pro/E import). At any rate, the missing faces were most likely larger swept or revolved 'slab' faces...
