Hi Folks,

Need some help again!

I am setting up drawings formats (*.frm) at the moment.
How do I place the tables accurately with regard to each other and also with regard to the paper outline? There does not seem to be a sketcher with dimensions, which would be ideal. Is there a ‘place’ function or snap type command.

Is it me or is PRO-E very user-unfriendly?

Thanks Again,
Speedy.

Speedy,

To Move a Table Within a Single Sheet of a Drawing
1. Choose TABLE > Move.
2. Select one of the corners of the table to move.
3. Select a new position for that corner.
4. To move a table to another sheet, choose Switch Sheet from the SHEETS menu.

When you have picked the table you can also choose absolute coordinates or relative coordinates. I agree it is a pain.

Turn on "Snap to Grid" under the environment icon and adjust your draft grid so that it correlates to the line spacing on your drawing format (e.g. 1 mm, .0625", .050").
