Bonjour Everybody:

I have just installed Pro E Wildfire 3.0 and I'm finding it tricky to familiarise myself with the dimensioning tools; can anyone tell me how to set ProE up to automatically insert centre marks on holes and other round features.
also, is there a tutorial or similar that I could read to help me on my way.
Thanks in advance :)

My boss says 'there are no problems, only opportunites to prove yourself'.
I remain sceptical.

I don't know about doing it automatically, but if I want centremarks on holes/rounds, I generally ensure there are datum axes on the model in all the places I want to see centremarks and then in the drawing use the "Show/Hide" function to 'show' these axes in whichever view is necessary.

yes, *no

Determines if axes are created for newly extruded arcs.


config pro option, but it can get a bit out of control if you have a large number of arcs, not sure if WF3 still supports this
 
But in the drawing environment, to make them part of the drawing you would still need to "Show" them.
 
Thanks gents,

I'll give it a spin over the holiday and let you know.

Enjoy your break if you get one.
