Reordering Assembly level features 2

[treddie]

Hi.

I have created an assembly and inserted a bunch of parts. Then I decided I wanted to rotate some of those parts by creating a new csys as a the coord reference. The problem is that since the new csys has been added AFTER the parts were inserted, I cannot edit the definition of the parts so that they see the new csys, I think because it is further down the tree. Is there no way to get assembly to allow reordering of the csys so that it is put before the parts in the assembly?

Thank you for any help.

If the new co-ordinate system is not attached to any of the new parts, then you can drag it up the tree

Well...That's the problem...Although it is technically in the tree somewhere, Assembly does not let you see it in the tree. So if I go into Layers and look for it there, it's definitely there, but you can't do much with it.

Just change your tree config to show features.

Man, I'm blind then, because I can't find it anywhere. And if I try a search in Tools > Options, nothing comes up that seems to be the right thing.

Just above the tree, there are 2 drop-down menu's -> Show and Settings.

In the Settings, there is the option Tree Filters - this is where you can define what shows in the model tree.

AHHH! Thank you, thank you, thank you. About the ONE place I didn't check.

There are so many options in Pro/E that a one week training class will save you that time in about 3 months of use.

Training is an investment in your people, not an expense.

When a former company switched from UG to Pro/E I told management that the only way to do it was for each CAD user to have 12 days of training in pro/E. We brought in outside trainers and ran classes for most of a year training 40+ engineers in the use of Pro/E. The 12 days was: 5 days solid modeling, 3 days drawing, 2 days sheet metal and 2 days Intralink. Some people also got trained in Mechanica, RSD, piping/cabling and advanced assemblies. I would estiamate that we spent close to $150K on Wildfire training that first year. We did have a room that could be used for the training and we had 8-10 students in every class. We just moved their workstations to the training room for their scheduled classes.
