I am using a curve by equation method, using cartesian type coords system. The equation for the curve is as follows: The curve is called a trochoid see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Trochoid.html
for an explanation of the shape

Refering to back to a previous thread regarding creating a curve by equation. After sorting out my problems with basic mathmatics I eventually got something similiar to what I was after, however I am a bit confused as to how pro is treating the values in the equations.
If I use microsoft excel...
I am trying to create a curve of a trochoid which has the parametric equation
x = [ a * THETA ] - [ b * sin(THETA) ]
y = a - [ b * cos(THETA) ]
where a & b are real numbers and THETA is the angle in radians.
This is what I used to define the equation in pro, however I dont get the correct...
If you open the VBA editor and then open the object browser (From the main mene click View, Object browser). Then type "xldialogs" in the search box, hit enter. This should display all the xldialogs available
hope this helps
Using the xlDialogPrinterSetup will display a dialog with all network printers available. The selected printer will then be set as the default.
' Display printer setup dialog
Application.Dialogs.Item(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show
Hope this helps

I have a few issues with my post processor and want to make some changes to the FIL (Factory Interface Language) file. Does anyone know where I can obtain a decent FIL reference manual explaining the command syntax etc.
Thanks in advance.

I have tried that, but it only gives you the value of the normal distribution and std dev. I want to plot a distribution curve for a sample of data. However there doesnt seem to be the facility to do so.
Hi
Could anyone tell me if there is a Free addin for excel that will let me plot a normal distribution curve, histograms etc. Any help will be appreciated

After persisting with pglclock.exe problem I discovered that it eventually (8 mins) settles down and stops absorbing all my CPU processing capabilities. The exe is obviously still loading modules in the background when Pro starts up. Anyway, an extra 512MB of ram is on its way to me, thanks...
I have used Pro manufacture to create tool paths on IGES surfaces as well as native pro surfaces, however I am involved in reverse engineering and it is a time consuming exerceise to surface some complex shapes. If I could create tool paths from a mesh it would save alot of time. I know...
I am running date code 2001490. I have also noticed that a service called pglclock.exe runs in the background and runs my CPU usage up to 100%, any ideas
I am running Proe a P3 1.8GHZ with 256MB Ram and a 64MB graphics card. However when I run Pro my PC becomes very sluggish. Is there anything I need to set to make it run faster, such as virtual memory, network setup etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Could anyone tell me wether it is possible to create manufacturing sequences from a triangulated polygon mesh such as an STL file. I am particularly interested in Pro 2001. Any info on this subject would be usefull. Thanks in advance

I have the same problem. I use Proe2001 and cannot get Vericut to import solid tools created in Pro. Ive have been told it is a bug in the version of vericut bundled with Pro. Hopefully this will be fixed in later releases. I realise this doesnt help, but at least you are not alone.

Does anyone have any experience of machining Devlon T100 plastic. I am particularly interest in recommended surface speeds, feed per tooth etc for use with carbide cutting tools. And also deep hole drilling (upto 400mm)
Any help would be appreciated
When promting the user for inputs in pro program is there anyway of having a default, wereby if the tick is clicked while the input box is empty a default value is used.
Add this line above the if statement in the dropdown_change module.
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Mysheet").UnProtect ("MyPassword")
Then add this line after the if statement
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Mysheet").Protect ("MyPassword")
Remember to set the cell...
Does anyone have experience of using the Windows API in Win2K.
I have used the GetComputerName API in an excel application I wrote on windows NT which worked fine. We have since then changed over to WIN2K and the same application falls down when it trys to call the API.
Has the Kernel32.dll...
