Thank you and I thought of doing that but some of the Engineers around here will see this and declare it's a mistake and then I will have to explain why and it may go on and on. :)
I was hoping for a way to just shut it off but still show the link.
Hi,
As soon as I add the URL to my note and entire note becomes the URL, no matter where you click on or hover over the note the URL is shown.
HTTP://INFO.NSF.ORG/CERTIF/IED/FOOD
I need to have it be part of the note but to just be a note not an active URL how do I do this.

Hello,
For years and many many products we would call out the Pemnut used in a sheet metal part as a flagged note like flag note 8 4X Pem M4X install farside. Then in the drawing view we would point to the hardware location with a flag.
A new person now say's industrial standard is to make an...
Thanks for the reply but:
Imagine having 4 wires that are parallel to each other 1 inch apart and you only want to break wire number 2 and leave the others in tact not broken.
Using the broken view command it ask you to select the drawing view and then the break lines cover all the wires and...
Hello,
I have a cable with 4 wires and I want to only break the middle wire only for its longer then the others, all the wires are in the same direction and spaced equally apart.
When I try to break the one wire the break lines cover all the wires in the drawing view and they are are broken I...
Thanks for the quick replies.
All the drawing formats print correctly it's just the A2 size and I have copied the same items from other formats to make sure they are all the same but still not luck. I forgot to mention one thing if I add a sheet and it's also A2 the second page on all prints...
In the custom properties I add the description and all the other items and they populate the title block correctly.
When I create PDF files of my drawings doing Save As under the File Menu and create a PDF file
and print it out the drawing description information does not show it's gone.

Hi,
I have a few users commenting about adding dimensions to a drawing and as they place them they will jump to a different location.
Once you click the green check mark to get out of the dimension mode the dimensions can be placed.
I have read threads about this and most were vauge and I...
Once in awhile I will get the error message in the subject line to pop up while in a drawing. The last time I had only two views nothing fancy so I click ok and nothing bad happened.
Can someone share why this error message pops up once in awhile.
Thank you,
Jeff
Right off the bat in Pro-Engineer when creating dimensions one option you can select is "Interesction" you pick the two intersecting lines and you have a dimension. FOR SOME REASON in Solidworks this is not available or is done by some hidden process.
My drawing as a 45 degree bend in it and I...
I created datum targets in a drawing and added dimensions and I understand that. I want to know how to modify the dimensions locating the datum targets to move them etc dim 25 needs to be 20.
Thank you,
Jeff
Hi,
I was talking a section view not broken view for I have been able to un-do a broken view.
That's a real bummer on not being able to un-do a section view and having to delete and insert a new projection view.
In Pro-Engineer you create a section view and if you want to un-do it so you go...
I have made a section view of a shaft in my drawing and now I want to have this view go back to the original
un-sectioned view.
How do I do this?
Thank you,
Jeff
Hi,
I have multiple views in my drawing and the dimensions shown are the model dimensions not ones I created.
The front view has a counter bored hole and I have added the counter bore symbol to the dimension.
I have another view, a section view and the dimension for the depth is shown.

Hi,
When I make a new drawing and just save the file in my local harddrive and I do files properties this is what I see.
SWFormatSize Text 297mm*420mm 297mm*420mm

When I check the drawing into the PDM database and then click files properties below is what I see a...
When I create a new drawing and check it into our PDM database and then check it back out and click files properties and then click the customs tab there is information under “property name” items 1, 2, 3, which can be filled out and populate the title block.
I want to add more items to this...
To answer your question we don not store any paper copies everything is kept in our cad tool Database. We print out 11 x 17 prints to look at and make notes on to pass around and most of the sharing is done using PDF files using BlueBeam and email these.
We send the vendor a pdf of the the...
The answer is engineering "inch" sizes.
For the last 10 years we make drawings never to be scaled and only put critical requirements on them and off they go to the vendor along with the cad model. This time things are different and the plotting part was through me off for as mentioned all the...
Thank you for the replies. What I'm getting most out of the powers to be here is that the 8 year project parts were done over seas and they wanted metric formats while the new project is being built here is the USA so the english inch formats are the request just the internal everything is to...
