I think that my real problem is inexperience, because even "Most typical standard surfacing is create your curve structure and use boundaries to attach to the curves" sounds impossible to me :O). I have only been using pro-e for a few months, even the...

    Plotter problem (amongst others ) :O(

    Hi Tofflemire, Yes the ISO settings and page sizes etc are all set, drivers installed ok, everything prints nicely in terms of line thicknesses etc. The problem is that whatever print size or setting I do, it does not print some edges of the border. Basically it cuts off approx 10 - 20mm...

    I find templates & Formats a bit long winded...help me ?

    Heckler, You are right, I think this card is a low spec one. Due to my limited pro-e skills ;) the models I am creating are not causing it too much stress yet, however I am already starting to see larger rendered images struggle a bit. Any particular cards you suggest (my MD is a stingy...
