Hi I've had a course on ProE Wildfire some 2 years ago which I have no memory of. So I thought of refreshing my memory by following the newbie tutorials that you previously posted:
http://www.mcadcentral.com/proe/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30 984&KW=tutorials
Starting by doing the "Basic Modelling" tutorial:
http://www.staffs.ac.uk/~entdgc/WildfireDocs/tutorials.htm

Problem number....
1.) - page 3 -
In sketch mode the tutorial tells me to draw an rectangle, I was wondering how can I freely move the rectangle within the coordinate system instead of just resizing each individual sides to change its coordinates?

2.) - page 4 -
the tutorial says
...To complete this first feature type 12 into the numeric field of the dashboard (See Figure 7) and click the green tick to finish.....
Well I've never been a good listener that follows orders correctly so I wanted to drag the *handle* as the popup said when I hovered my mouse over the numeric field. But I couldn't move it, so I started to middle-click and mess with the *spin center* thingy. Now my rectangle has a weird view point!
How do I return the *spin center* to where I started from?

3.)

Another thing since I've worked a bit in Photoshop like programs, are there any "history trace menu" which lets you skip back to specific time/places before any experimental changes has been done and which you don't know how do UNDO them?

After some loong hours and detective work comparing different learning materials and online tutorials I've managed to figure out some of the problems in that mentioned Calculator tutorial.
