    Parametric text in part description

    I assumed that is why it is failing. I assume the relation is trying to perform an operation on the text string, which is not what I want. Your syntax didn't work either...

    Parametric text in part description

    I've been able to get the BOM note to output the value of dim x only, but as soon as I add any other text, the note fails. What do you mean by add relations? I'm using the relations editor to link the parameter to the dimension now, so my question might be more about syntax. This works...

    Parametric text in part description

    I am on Creo 1.0. I switched the dims to their labels like you suggested already. My problem is that I want to have a parameter called "Part_Description" and within that parameter I want to type "12 x 15 x dx" where x is a certain dimension that I am interested in. I then want to have one...

    Parametric text in part description

    I've almost got it figured out....I can get it to display one dimension and only one dimension... I would like to display a dimension and a string of text. The problem seems to be that parameters can drive dimensions but I want dimensions to drive parameters.... possible, or no?

    Parametric text in part description

    Assembly question

    Your best option is to use datum planes and mate those. You should have a horizontal plane in the center of the reel... use an offset mate to one of the horizontal surfaces on the base and you should be good to go.

    Setting TEMPLATES folder

    Found it. The templates folder was defined in config.sup. I deleted it and set it in config.pro! You guys are life savers.

    Setting TEMPLATES folder

    That may be the issue. I've tried using the mounted drive letter (G:\) with no success. How do I modify config.sup??

    Setting TEMPLATES folder

    I have tried setting that option and it does not seem to work. I've read that there are some issues with network drive syntax. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong? I've tried the following: \\server\user\folder

    Setting TEMPLATES folder

    Hello, I am a relatively new Pro/e user and I am having trouble setting my default templates folder for parts. I know the local disk ptc folder is where it is directed now, but I have not found a config option to change it. I want to make changes to part templates I have stored on a network...
