    Drawing File Organization

    BIGBADBTR: I work for a Sheetmetal Manufacturer (basically a job shop)also. Since CAD implementation 18 years ago, we have had the same problem, and it still persists. Being a "job shop", we have over 200 customers at any one time, sending in all kinds of files from .pdf, .cal, .pcb to .dw2...

    I'm hoping that this is not typical corporate behavior...I guess

    I have managed our companies design department for the past 10 years (worked here 21 years). We have a small engineering/design department which basically caters to our production plant. Anyway, part of the job requirement is estimating costs for customers new designs (we charge $70.00/hr for...

    Wildfire 2 screen flashing

    The problem was my video card, or should I say video processor on the mother board. I upgraded to a new video "card" (128mb minimum) and all is great. I purchased an ATI Fire GL T2-128 and no more blinking.

    I have been having the same problem. We currently have both Pro-E 2001 and Wildfire loaded but are only working in 2001. Sometimes I have no problems, and other times the screen flashes 10-20 times, and other times it does not stop flashing. This even happens in wireframe and shaded when...

    Copying a large assembly

    Can you explain further the reason you want to "copy" the assembly. Maybe you want to try "backup" instead? Hope I can help.

    Drawing paths

    Thank you very much. This will save me alot of time. I think the option to "back-up" is alot safer. Thanks again.

    Drawing paths

    Where is "save as"?.....I have "save", "save a copy" and "save as pic", but no "save as". None of them save anything other than the drawing (under the new name), and do not save any part or assembly files (under the new name). I am currently using Pro-E 2001, am I missing something? This would...

    Convert to pdf

    Another feature I forgot about within AutoCAD: Follow the same steps previously mentioned except as follows: Choose Acrobat Distiller instead of Acrobat PDFwriter. As long as you have Adobe Acrobat, it opens the .pdf file within a few seconds automatically.

    Convert to pdf

    I am currently using AutoCAD 2004. Try this option that I believe is a standard feature of AutoCAD. FILE > PLOT > PLOT DEVICE > (SELECT "ACROBAT PDFWRITER" FROM THE PLOTTER CONFIGURATION) Please note that if any text and/or dimensions (in the AutoCAD drawing) are yellow, it does not show very...

    Stubborn sketcher dimensions

    Yes, I sometimes have the same problem. Since our manufacturing cannot hold a tolerance of .00000001", I don't let it bother me anymore. (Yes, at one time I tried to figure out why it was rounding it that way, but to no avail.) If you do find the answer, let me know.

    Import Adobe Illustrator into Pro-E

    TheTick, Thanks for the quick response. DXF worked. Some of the text expanded in length and the scale came in larger than expected, but overall it took much less time than if I had done it in Pro-E. RGS1

    Import Adobe Illustrator into Pro-E

    Is there any way to import text and/or graphics from Adobe Illustrator into a Pro-E .prt, .asm or .drw file? I need to create silkscreens or overlays for the parts I am designing, and have not found an easy way (in Pro-E) to create them. I have no problem creating the necessary files in Adobe...
