Popi -
There are many ways to create GIF's and JPEG's. This is something that could be done either inside Pro/E, or outside.

You might consider creating a simple toolpath in Pro/NC, and then use a program like Camtasia (for example) to record a movie of the toolpath.

Or you could create an animated GIF file. Here's a link for a description on how that works:

The template will allow the use of either GIFs or JPEGs. It depends on what you want to show, and how you find it most efficient to create the animations.

Hope that helps a bit.

thx indigo2 for the answer!!
that was very useful!!
can i ask something else??
is there a way to pic a .gif from pro/e without creating it
outside??and without using other programms??
because it is a bit difficult to creat it with the right
dimensions...
thx a lot!!

Not from within Pro/E. However, Vericut Simulation does
allow the creation of movies for playback. This would
create either .avi or .mpg files, which you should be able
to convert to gif.

Only option I can think of inside Pro/E is Design Animation. I am pretty sure you can create JPEGs of the movies you create in Design Animation. Then you could use the JPEG as discussed earlier.
Other than that, Peter is correct.
