    Delete Locked Parameters

    Hey guys, Hora - I will do one better (I hope this works). I put a screenshot of the parameters again on my old school accnt. I cannot give a screenshot here because the picture is larger than 400 pixels square. I guess the parameters are Windchill system parameters, but the important thing...

    Delete Locked Parameters

    Hey Hora, Well, I think the exact name for the parameters (from the PTC support documentation) is "Intralink system paramters" which are set and locked by Intralink upon the part entering the system. Tell me if this doesn't answer your question. Btw, these parts were made in Wildfire 2.0 (I...

    Delete Locked Parameters

    Hey Hora, Yeah I remember backing up the parts in 2001i to get rid of the locked parameters. However, in the Wildfire releases, it appears to be no longer possible to get rid of the locked parameters by backing up the parts. Thanks for the reply though. -Adam J. Cook

    Dual Dimensions - revisit

    Hey justkeepgiviner, Our company once had this problem too. However, we usually dimension in English units and the manufactured item needed to be in Metric for production in Germany. I don't know if youll like this way, but it was the way we figured it would be the best (as a short term...

    Delete Locked Parameters

    Hey justkeepgiviner, The sources listed are all "Windchill" parameters. However, I cannot return to this application since it is not at our site. On a side note, I guess it was possible to remove parameters (locked or unlocked) by backing up the part(s), assy(s),...etc. (via File->Backup...)...

    Delete Locked Parameters

    Hi all- Thanks. I kinda thought it was not possible either. I have another question though. Does anybody know how to prevent Windchill from adding these parameters upon download of the part? I realize this is a Pro/Engineer forum but I'd thought I'd ask it here anyways since it may be...

    Delete Locked Parameters

    Hi all- I need to remove some parameters form a customer Pro/Engineer wildfire part that I recieved. However, the parameters show "Locked" under the Access column in Tools->Parameters... dialog box. This is not allowing me to delete (or change) these parameters. My guess is they are not...
