    Problems creating new view

    I did some online research and I found out that the files I should be editing are the ones that are labeled "mmns_part_solid.prt" and "inlbs_part_solid.prt". I went to try and add the isometric view by opening my templates folder in the install directory and adding the view as I had explained in...

    I would like to thank everyone that has responded in advance to some of my threads! I am new to pro/e and I will be starting a job soon that will require knowledge of the software.

    Pro/E Wildfire 5.0 Config.pro Setup

    @jvian You were both absolutely right, I had my proe.exe staring in another folder because I wanted to have control over where the trail files where. I just changed the start in to one of the folders on my c:/ and it worked after I gave it administrative privileges. I may actually just change...

    New Pro/E User (redundant save)

    Every time I save a file (Using pro/e 5.0) I look and there is a new version of the file. I don't understand why it doesn't just save it over the original instead of making a copy. The two files with the same name are the part as it was save at the moment it was created.

    Rotating Object/ Datum plane issue

    I am having trouble trying to figure out a way to get the datum planes on pro/e to remain visible when rotating the figure with the middle mouse button. This issue happens anytime I try to rotate the working area. This happens when there is a solid or if it is empty. I can't seem to find an...

    Basic customization inquiry

    I am having trouble setting my display to maintain visibility of the datum planes when I rotate the view holding down the middle mouse button. I was wondering if there is a way to make the datum planes visible during this operation. I also would appreciate if there is any literature or online...

    pro/e WildFire 5.0 trail.txt files save location

    I was able to complete the task by going to my "pro\e" starup icon right clicking and going to properties (i'm using win7) here there was a section in the "shortcut" tab that contained the location where my trail.txt files where going (ex.)=> "c:\comp_name\documents" I then changed that by...

    pro/e WildFire 5.0 trail.txt files save location

    I unsuccessfully attempted to change the directory. I saw all the things that were described but the option text field was unavailable unless I scrolled down to "current Session". I opened pro/e then I went to tools then to options where I had the path to the folder that contains the...

    pro/e WildFire 5.0 trail.txt files save location

    I have "pro/e wildfire 5.0" and I am trying to change the save location of the trail files so I can have them in a safer and more organized location. I have been reading some of the post that give vague directions using "config.pro" and "trail_dir", but I have not been able to successfully...
