    Assembly Mode - using fix to constrain parts

    Steve: I can not select another component CS but I can select another assembly CS. Try it. It worked for me. the key is to move the CS once you created it before the component requiring the fix constraint with the newly created CS. -Caper-

    Assembly Mode - using fix to constrain parts

    after a little playing around I created a new coordinate system in my assembly that was set z normal to screen while my pars was oreinted on screen to the front. Then by selecting this new coorindate system in my fix contraint my fix contraint allowed my part to stay put. thanks for your help...

    Assembly Mode - using fix to constrain parts

    the sub-type of assembly I have problems with is design. I just emailed a couple of screenshots at your info address at 3dlogix let me know if you have access to that. -Gary-

    Assembly Mode - using fix to constrain parts

    Hi Steve: I wish the part would stay in place but this is not the case. As I remove or uncheck other contraints the fix contrain does not keep the part in its original position. this does not ocurr for every part, but when it does I'm forced to remove the fix contraint. -Caper-

    Assembly Mode - using fix to constrain parts

    Hi Users: I was wondering if some one knows a work around when the fix constrain does not work. I move my part to where I want but when I hit the fix constrain it flips my part. I set my position by outside references but do not want to keep these outside references. The fix constraints works...

    showing open and close strategy

    Thank you all for your suggestions. Here is what I've decided to use. Hinge assembly with family table Hinge_OPEN & Hinge_CLOSE Door assembly with family table Door_OPEN & Door_CLOSE. With generic assembly having both hinge assemblies. In my Cabinet assembly I use Door_CLOSE assembly but when I...

    showing open and close strategy

    thanks camcadguy but it suggests putting all the hinges in the generic assembly from artical: "Assemble all of the instances in the family table to the top-level assembly." so Marty is doing it basicly the same as I know what will work, but is that best way to go about this? still searching.

    showing open and close strategy

    Hi All Users: I’m looking for the best strategy to show a cabinet assembly with door open and door closed. I can create a family table of the hinge one open and one closed and then a family table of the cabinet assembly with my generic have both versions of the hinge and having 2 doors in the...

    Pro_i Revision Sequence

    Hey Users: I'm trying to import a revision scheme in to interlink as follows: 1 - 01-P1 2 - 01-P2 3 - 01-P3 4 - 01 5 - 02-P1 6 - 02-P2..... my problem is after I import this scheme it reorder the sequence as follows: 1 - 01 2 - 01-P1 3 - 01-P2 4 - 01-P3 5 - 02 6 - 02-P1..... Does anyone know...

    Display color A plot color B

    Hi All: I'm using Wildfire and I'm set up so that my text is displayed yellow but plots black. I would like to do the same for sheet metal parts but the only way I could do this is to change it to text color with in sytems color. I know I can set it to colors temporary to get the results I...

    Yellow Text

    Where within Pro/E do you set the print color? I have yellow display text but it will print black. Where does this feature live. Display one color print another. -Caper-

    0 Line width to PDF

    this works great on files generated in pro/e, thanks! I am also bringing in DXF files in to the drawing mode and I'm still getting these thick lines. I'm using Adobe Acrpbate Distillier. any suggestions on the conrtol feature?

    0 Line width to PDF

    Hi Pro/Users: I'm no longer a day to day user of Pro/E but I am creating PDF's of Drawings and would like to have the lines not to have a thickness when I use the Acrobat Distiller. may some day I will get back in the saddle. -Caper-

    Pro-process selecting sub-assembly parts

    Good Day Pro/E Users: I have been out of touch for over a year with Pro/E (working with SolidWorks)so I need a refresher. question: In the pro-process mode when you are creating your steps can you select a part with in a sub-assembly or do you have to select the whole sub-assembly? thanks for...
