    Hole Call out

    Correct, it would be changing to the way we do things here and NOT standard ANSI drafting standards. It's been a bit of a challenge getting used to doing drawings the way they do them here. They do ordinate AND standard dimensions along with fractional and decimal dimensions on the same view...

    Hole Call out

    Does anyone know how to change the default hole call out? Please see the attached word document to see what I'm talking about. Mainly we want to change it from placing the number of places being put at the begining to being put on the end and it saying _ PLACES not (12)x. Also, we want it to...

    Another BOM Balloon Question

    I've actually been doing this to show all my balloons in WF4. I ended up finding out that they were showing up in another view that I didn't think they were in so I didn't look. Thanks for the info though.

    Another BOM Balloon Question

    Yet, another issue with BOM Balloons. When set my filter to components and right click to bring in a BOM balloon, it says add reference balloon, which is what I don't want. So I use the Show/Erase command and when I click on the component, I get nothing. I've looked all over the drawings...

    Pro-E WF4 crashes EVERY time I try to create a local section

    So every time, and I mean EVERY time, I try to create a local section view in a drawing, Pro-E crashes. EVERY time. I can create a full section view just fine, but as soon as I try to make it a local, it crashes in various stages of the local set up (picking a reference point, drawing a...

    Some Datum Planes Don't turn off.

    I think that if the person who made the part created actual datums (A, B, C, etc) then they won't turn off when you turn off the datum planes in the tool bar. I just hide them myself when this happens.

    BOM Balloons

    Was wondering how you get a BOM balloon to not appear as a reference balloon. I must have inserted the balloon and then for some reason erased it, now it only gives me the option of adding a "ref balloon" I need it to be a standard balloon. Thanks, Mike

    Hidden lines on drawings

    Ok, so how is it done? I can't seem to find it and searching the help files is like searching for a needle in a stack of needles mixed in haystack.

    Hidden lines on drawings

    I understand that, but I don't want to create 3 different break outs and clutter up my drawing to show 1 part in each view. We've already discussed this hear and this is an exception to the rule. As far as being able to do it, I know it can be done in Solidworks, so what about Pro E?

    Hidden lines on drawings

    Is there a way to show hidden lines just for specific components in a drawing view? I only have a few parts that you can't see in any views so I just want to show those hidden so I can attach a BOM balloon to them. I'm running Wildfire 4.0. Thanks!

    Command Toolbar question

    So how do I get to the menu where I make those customizations and save it to a file? And how do I know what is what considering Pro-E only seems to have the names of things and not icons to add to that menu if you know what I mean? Like if I go into Tools/Options I just get a list of...

    Command Toolbar question

    Was wondering how do I keep commands buttons that I add to the toolbar? Basically, I am adding a few buttons thru the right click on the tool bar/commands/and then dragging the command to the tool bar, but when I close out of Pro-e and go back into it those commands are gone and I have to add...

    Assembly Family Table in Pro-E Wildfire 4.0

    I have one assembly with 4 components total (two each of two different components). So it doesn't work like Solidworks where I can create a configuration with the components one way and another with the components a different way but only keeping the original four in the assembly? How does...

    Assembly Family Table in Pro-E Wildfire 4.0

    I'm trying to set up a family table in Wildfire 4.0 in an assembly and am ready to throw my computer out the window. This is what I need to do: I have the generic assembly with all of the assembly components in it. I have four parts in an assembly. Two of one kind and two of another. They...
