    Geometry failing when opening a native SW part

    Yeah, we may have to get in contact with the original part designer now because I did spend the time going up and down the feature tree and was able to restore the model to a workable state and keep the original design intent and in the process I saw how "rookie" techniques were used to make a...

    Geometry failing when opening a native SW part

    I'll give it a shot. I'm also in the middle of grabbing SP1.0 with some hope of finding a solution. Thanks everyone.

    Geometry failing when opening a native SW part

    I may try to request a different format but I'm afraid I may not get any better data. From what I've gathered from talks with our customer, the original designer of the part has no real knowledge of what it takes to build the tools to make his part. He just knows what he thinks he wants and...

    Geometry failing when opening a native SW part

    Save-As isnt a viable option in this case because the system exports the model with overlapping geometry. It just so happens that this geometry that is overlapping in the exported file is the same as the geometry that is failing in the native SW file if I rebuild after opening it. I can rebuild...

    Geometry failing when opening a native SW part

    I work as a mold designer for plastic injection molding tools and I am always at the mercy of the end customer as to what type of CAD data I get and have to build my tools around. We do 90% of our work in Pro/E WF2 but we also have ExpertCAD and Solidworks 2007 for support. Recently I have...

    A quick and easy method for Bound Box in WF2+?

    BMX may be an option but I dont know if I can justify the $2000+/year(just a guess) in additional maintenance. Any other options? As for Solidworks, we're looking to get rid of it for a couple of reasons. First, we build plastic injection mold tooling (and some aluminum die cast) and Pro/E...

    A quick and easy method for Bound Box in WF2+?

    Like the title says, I am looking to find a way to generate a bounding cube (X,Y,& Z dims), in relation to a defined csys, around a solid part/assembly for estimating steel requirements and packaging. I had a demo of a program in Solidworks that would do exactly that called Minbbox(from right...

    Printer config (*.pcf) for Wildfire 3.0

    This is the PCF file I used to print to my default printer with Tabloid (11x17) paper. I'm on WF2 but this is the same .PCF file I've been using before WF existed so I assume it's the same for WF3. I just pick this from the destination pull down box, click OK, and it'll automatically scale any...
