Hi


Not sure if anyone will know but iv modelled a spur gear in 3d studio max, saved it as a .dxf file to load into pro. e. When i load up the file into pro. e it gives me options for drawing, assembly, part, etc. i choose part as i want to run an analysis (thats right isnt it?).


When i try to define the constraints it doesnt let me, no part of the model highlights when i run the mouse over it?


Does it have something to do with the way the file from 3d studio max is defined and wont allow me to select individual surfaces?


Iv tried resaving the file as a prt file but to no avail


Thankyou for your time and help
