    UDF REFERENCES

    I am trying to create a counter bore UDF but I only need two references to locate it,the top surface and the axis.Pro E wants me to select a third reference, surface or plane.The thru hole will already be there but not always a plane going through it.Any ideas??

    shaded model edge color

    I am more interested in changing the default style/color of the edge to be just one particular color,rather than having to manually make the color and surface changes on each part.Maybe some kind of mapkey.If anyone has any suggestions,I would appreciate it.

    shaded model edge color

    I have Pro E set to show edges in shade mode.Does anyone know how I can make the edge color be one color (black) rather than a similar shade of the model color?
