    Material selection for 2.5mm press-pin

    At the moment, the material is EN32. Probably not the best choice, but that's what our job-shop had to hand. They also attempted a rudimentary heat-treatment. The pin is bending. It has a very small recess in the end to help alignment. Unfortunately, the equipment that is available means that...

    That is super-helpful. Thank you vey much [smile].

    Material selection for 2.5mm press-pin

    Hi everyone, I'm NOT an expert of any kind when it comes to this arena, which is showing the restults that I am getting. I have a 2.5mm dia press tool pin that is pushing in a small, steel part with an interference fit in to aluminium. Unfortunately, the steel part needs to be pushed down...

    50 Bar Piston O-ring shore hardness

    Thanks for your thoughts, everyone. Most informative.

    50 Bar Piston O-ring shore hardness

    It is a variation of a legacy design which has worked for years. I thought that the question concerning shore hardness was a valid one, but I can't find any information concerning my original question.

    50 Bar Piston O-ring shore hardness

    Hi everyone, I'm working a piston that will see about 50 bar, but will also see approx 1 bar vacuum. It has a stroke of only 25mm, a 18mm dia and a linear speed of only 2mm/sec. This change from pressure to vacuum will occur over a matter of just a few seconds. I've been asked by the Chief...

    Leader text location

    I'm recently returned to Pro-E (Creo 3) after a break of a couple of years and I am having a problem getting the text on a dimension to behave. Instead of it sitting on the outside of the leader, the text goes back on itself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Change dimension format in sketch

    That makes sense...thanks again.

    Change dimension format in sketch

    WOW!!! Was that it? I don't understand why, but I'm happy that it's now as it should be. Thanks dude.

    Change dimension format in sketch

    G'day, I have just moved jobs and on my new PC (a brand new build), strange things are afoot. When I dimension anything in a sketch, the dimension is if the format like this...3.65e+002, rather than 365mm. My machine is the only one like this and I have no idea how to change it. Can anyone...

    Section view with both solid and wireframe parts in the same view.

    3DDave, That's done it! Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it. I've been looking for this feature for longer than I care to remember. Paul.

    Section view with both solid and wireframe parts in the same view.

    OOPS! Sorry, in a drawing using Creo Elements/Pro 5. Thanks for the link. I've taken a look, but it seems to only change the line-type, not the transparency of the part. It would work if I could change the offending part to wireframe whilst everything else in the view is solid, but I can’t...

    Section view with both solid and wireframe parts in the same view.

    As the title suggests, I need to represent a sectional view of an assembly, but with one of the components as wireframe/transparent. The component to be transparent is a "potting" in a connector and I need to show the cables running though so that route can be seen in section. In SW I can simply...

    Circular Centre Marks on two holes

    STOP!!!! I've just figured it out :-)

    Circular Centre Marks on two holes

    Is there a way of representing the circular lines on a drawing if there are only two holes? The command doesn't really come alive unless three holes are selected. I need to dimension them radially. Paul.

    Adding to Cumulated Dimensions

    TOP MAN!!! The "Expert" here told me that it wasn't possible.

    Adding to Cumulated Dimensions

    Is it possible to add more dims to a Cumulated Dimension after it has been produced? Paul.
