I did hear something to that effect. We just switched to PDMLink (Windchill) and I believe this was part of the reasoning. We're going to upgrade to WF4 at the end of the year. Another reason was we will be switching our computers to 64bit machines in the next year or so, and from what I was...

Hi all. We recently switched from Intralink to PDM Link and have a question regarding update. I get the plus sign on a part that I

Hi all. I'm working with a sub-assembly that doesn't have all the correct mass properties assigned to parts. I have the actuall assembly and can weigh it to obtain the correct weight. Does anyone know how I can assign that weight to the assembly so that I can calculate the total mass of the top...

Thank you, this seemed to work to an extent. However we can't seem to duplicate/copy a part/subassembly>give it a new number>then retain the relationship to the top level assembly. The only way we can retain the relationship is to also make a copy of the top level assembly. Any thoughts on how...

We're going to Windchill and I've been asked how we are going to copy (duplicate)parts from an assembly, give it a new name but have the option of retaining the relationship with the assembly. I believe we do this now with Intralink 3x but not sure how in Windchill (we're in trial mode right...

How do you turn them off or toggle them? WF 2.0

My simple question is I'm working with an assembly in WF2 and the colors have been modified. How do I revert them back to look like the part files (individual) that I pull up and have assigned colors to. Is it posible? -thanks---justin

I've figured out the problem. The drawing view was changed to Default Rep instead of Master Rep. I don't know why but when I changed the rep to Master Rep it works. Thanks for all the input and suggestions. -Justin

Sorry I should have been a little more clear. I want to show the balloonson a xsec (partial view).

Is there any way to show the balloons from the BOM table in a detail view? I get "Invalid view for showing BOM Balloons for the region" when I try. Am I missing a setting or something? I have a xsec scaled up so I can show the parts. Thanks, Justin

What I've done is to insert>note and type a space (so it's blank and gives me the leader). Then I Edit>Group>Relate to object (after I've put the leader close to the balloon) and relate it to the ballon driven by the BOM. This is the best I've come up with. It will probably bite me later if I...

Hi, all. The company I work for uses numbers for there part generations. So I would like to use the feature column to create the common name, ie. 0122245-01.prt (part name) cable-tie (feature name). I'd like to do this in order to place at the top of the model tree (before datums and cso). If...

Here's my little story. I worked a job at a prototype shop for 9 years. Took a new job do to relocation. I was on WF1.0 when i left the prototype job (do to spouse) only to find out i accepted a job that was running version 20! (i'm a user since ver.17) Nevertheless i was told they would be...

Thanks for the assistance. I couldn't find the drawing options without doing some searching. I was looking under tools>tools, when the location I actually neede was: FILE>PROPERTIES>DRAWING OPTIONS>min_balloon_radius. Thanks again for the help. Justin C.

Can anyone direct me in the direction of changing the balloon size in pro/e wf. I can make the text smaller but not the actuall balloon. Thanks, Justin C

I'm attempting to model a cam action on top of a cylindar. I'm using a torodial bend to create the initial motion needed, however find it difficult to adjust when i would like to change the cylindar diameter. Any suggestions of a better modeling method? Any input would be appreciated. (Using...

They haven't. Which would lead me to believe they could buy a seat new without having to pay back maintenance. Another problem would be they would have to buy a faster machine, than the 600 i'm using...This may be the year i start loosing my hair...

This is probably more of a rant, but imagine going from wildfire to Pro/e 20...I've been kicking and screaming of all the clicking and searching for commands. I started a new job and this is driving me nuts. The transition to Wildfire was a piece of cake compaired to going back in time with 20...

I need someone to dig back to version 20 and help me figure out how to change the decimal places in a drawing from 3 places to two. I thought it had something to do with the .dtl file but i'm not sure. I already have the drawing done but could easily redo if needed. Thanks in advance. -jus

Can anyone give me a direction on how to pattern a feature along a spline? I created this eliptical rib as a sweep through a datum curve that I would like to now pattern along. Thanks in advance. Justin Pro/e 2001
