Does anyone know if it is possible to get access to the sketcher palette when working in drawing mode? My pupils have to construct ortho drawings independantly (i.e. use Pro|E as a conventional drafting tool) and standard shapes etc. would make this task much easier.
I dont think that you can insert the profiles. However, if you export the profiles as a dxf (open the sketches and export) the import the dxf into a drawing, you can create a symbol from that dxf, create the symbol and use the copy from drawing command.

Cheers mcgowanp. Nice get-a-round but a bit complex for the kids(14-16yrs).
dr_gallup - I tend to agree with you but we have to use what we have got - and the pupils have already spent a considerable amount of time familiarising themselves with PRO|E
Personally - I always construct the 3D models and use them togenerate drawings but the exam board want to see ortho and iso construction skills in a CAD package?
