Got there! Thanks for the suggestions, all of the network addresses and names were ok. I needed to set ports up for pdm access. Once this was done all was good.

I'm pretty sure I have the same path, the server name is the same too.

Hi All, We have recently had a crash on our Network Storage Device and have lost all data on it. I have reinstalled the Workgroup server application and its now running. Problem is I can't get any clients to see the vault. We are using 2008 Office Professional SP4.0 for both. Can Anyone...

Hi all, I am searching to see if there are any standards commonly used for hydraulic cylinders. We are trying to standardise the ones we use and would like to apply something commonly used. I'm sending this from New Zealand, we are a metric country. Most of what we use here is either ISO, or...

Thanks for the input guys, Jason - I should have said that's what we are doing, it works sometimes for really minor changes. I do have a feeling though that it will be the best we can do. bvanhiel - I'll give that all a go today.

We have some fairly complex machined components that are made up of fairly complex plates welded together. Our product designers design these weird and wonderful shapes (created in Pro E) that are used for vaccum moulding. What we do is weld up an aluminium box with special weld prep nice and...

We're using 4.1, I must admit I haven't tried since changing to 4.1, but just have. We're getting acrobat 5 compatable files. Cheers

Hi all, I'm confused, was there a true solution to this? By that I mean: I have SW2006, I don't have acrobat (full acrobat), My customers and travelling colleagues have acrobat (reader only) 5. Unfortunately we can't (or by company policy don't) ask our customers to upgrade, but try to make...

thanks guys, I'll check out a programmable mouse too.

Hi all, My colleagues and I would like to be able to reduce the amount of double clicking we have to do. Particular culprits for excessive 'DC'ing are modifying feature dimensions. It would be nice to have a keyboard press to do this or something similar, but modifying dimensions is not a menu...

Hi all, Is there any way to do a mass tabulated type change of custom properties for all of the component parts in an assembly. I would like to be able to do this across all configurations of the component parts. The properties I would like to change in particular are drawnby, material and...

No, I can't find it either. It just happens and is very frustrating. By random hide/show generator, I was referring to the lack of control I have over weather cosmetic thread show or don't show on drawing views. Apparantly this has been a problem for years and people (my colleagues) just put up...

Hi everyone, Has anyone managed to find a way to disable this 'feature' in drawings. By this I mean set things up so thread annotations don't show up on the non-visible surfaces of drawing wiews. It's a real drag going through every drawing and hiding the ones that do happen to show up that...

Hi all, You know the text symbol box that pops up each time you edit a note in drawings? Does anyone know how to add more symbols to this? My company use this one symbol all the time and it would be easier to be able to add it to notes this way than through insert symbol instance. Cheers, Hayden

That hit the spot Arlin, Thanks. It's a shame quick right click no longer works as that's not used for aything now.

Hi there, My company has just made the 'upgrade' to Wildfire 2. It seems some of the great tools for creating drawings quickly has gone, maybe it's just me. Something I'd really like to be able to do is QUICKLY flip arrows on dimensions. Does anyone know how to do this? Cheers Hayden

Did you try opening the files in Wildfire?

Cheers guys, but I'm sorry that's a no on both counts. I know how to get in and out of insert mode and I know how to reorder. I want a quick way of moving the insert position around WITHOUT having to go out of insert mode or dragging the arrow. I am trying to move about a range of about 500...

Hey there team, Does anyone know of a way to move around in insert mode quickly. ie. change from inserting after feature 600 to just after feature 50. Sure I can grab the 'insert here' arrow and move it up but what a drag that is. I don't really want to turn off insert mode and not regenerate...

Hi all, Heres the deal; I've got a few plates to model and draw with loads of holes in them. By company standards I HAVE to dimension each of these holes using centrelines and standard dimensions (not ordinate or hole tables). Is there a way that I can automatically make the witness lines go...
