    quarter section

    I have a ring shaped straight bevel gear with a regular pattern of threaded holes to mount it. All is needed in order to detail it in drawing, is a longitudinal section and a quarter section (to dimension angular pitch between holes). In my case, half a section would be incorrect (generally in...

    untrim axis in drawings

    fool of me! Just on the far right ribbon there is a button " Remove all breaks". Forgive me for the useless post. Yes, sometimes learning new versions of software, I overlook the obvious.

    untrim axis in drawings

    figure this out: you trim in several points an axis for a shaft and repent doing it. There is no way to go back. If you erase the axis it gets listed again in the "Show model annotations" tab and you can select it again. But it's still trimmed where you had truncated it. Extending and playing...

    [drawing/detailing] line width of spline delimiting local section

    T.H.A.N.X! It did the trick. I regarded line weight and colour as indipendent features, linked just by defaults or custom settings Anyway, if anyone from PTC is tuned, It's time to unrelate the "forced in blue" text color from the line_standard, isn't it? We users can switch when needed (as I...

    [drawing/detailing] line width of spline delimiting local section

    Hi everyone! My current issue with Creo/elements is the following: when I make a local section that is contoured by some edges and a spline, the spline shows with the same width as for geometry (0.5 mm). This is logic, because it becomes an edge itself, but I'm working in ISO standard and it...

    missing conical surface icon

    well, meanwhile I have found the solution and willing to share with anyone who's going mad with this phantom conical surface button. The good man who wrote the help file did not mention that it is nested into the following path: Menu: Insert/Restyle a new menu item named "Restyle" itself...

    missing conical surface icon

    well, I'm facing this issue with Creo/Proe5 the help file says that there is this command: "create conical surface" http://www.kxcad.net/proe/restyle/to_create_a_conical_surface.htm whilst, AS USUAL, I can't find it. Obviously (note the sarcastic tone) this command was already in ProE w3...

    solids that shouldn't be cross-sectioned in assembly drawing

    Hi everyone, I'm training on pro/e wf3.0 and facing a very frustrating problem. I'm supposed to design a differential gear (classic), so you know there are shafts and spline coupling joints, which are not meant to be sectioned in technical drawing. I know the option "Exclude Component" from the...
