All, From a co-worker (Sue):The answer is the file needs to be converted in Excel. Go to the "office button"and select convert. This saves the file in the most up-to-date state.See attached. I am sure there is a more high level cure for this. In the meantime, we can keep rolling. Thanks to those who assisted with this.They got the thought process going. I have a feeling there will be a summary 2. Wayne

I am a new user and having problems creating a rabbit around an object. I have included a jpg. It shows a box around the edge i want the shape cut out of. Beside that an "L" shape to represent 0.125 x 0.125. I would like to know how to cut the "L" shape out all around the top edge of the object. In the wood shop I'd call this a rabbit. One method I came up with was to offset all the edges in 0.125 as a sketch then extrude the sketch up 0.125. This didn't work because I couldn't get holes to cut through the two individual surfaces. I think there may be a way to join the two pieces then cut the holes but I haven't figured it out. Thanks in advance for any help.

is it possible to email a .asm or a .prt file for someone to view only if that someone does not have pro-engineer? if so how can it be done?

Hey All For today and tomorrow only - I'm trying to gather a count of users who areusing 64bit OS vs. 32bit OS. You can email me direct (so we don't burden the list with hundreds ofemails).I'm not looking for fluff (justification, etc.), just raw numbers. Format your email thus: 32bit - 27 users64bit - 43 users I'll post the tally on Friday morning. Thanks!! Anthony R.

In 1995 I put in several enhancement requests (don't really know the process now) to add some simple functionality that would boost measurement productivity greatly. Enhancements have been very minimal to the measurement tool since 1995. My requests were based around a toggle that would show not only closest but the farthest two items are away from one another. Currently, the measure tool gives the closest ONLY! You know...., the farthest measurement is there in the geometry and arguably more relevant in most cases. Pro/E knows what it is but just won't give it up short of going in and spending 10 minutes putting in datums/curves/ect to get to it. Give us a measurement toggle please, it can't be that tough to put it into the software. It's low hanging fruit guys! What do you think?

I posted this a few days ago in the WIndchill Solution area however no one provided an answer to my question. I am hoping someone in this forum may know the answer.If auser opens a Pro/Engineer file in Winchill using via a standalone browser and Pro/Engineer is not already open, Pro/Engineer is started without all of our typical customizations. How do I correct this?P.S. We are on Windchill 9.0.TIA,Mark Bohannon

Hi, Recently IT installed a new proxy server (ISA) and now I am havingproblems downloading software with PTC's Download manager. The donwload manager just gives an Error (it probably can't reach theesd.ptc.com server).Downloading with the HTTP link isn't a problem. We are trying to pinpoint the problem, but can't really track it down. PTC's Knowledge base and the mailarchives couldn't help us either. * Has anybody experienced problems with PTC's Download Manager andwas able to solve it? If so, how did you solve it? * Does anybody know what port(s) the download manager is using?

how can i work from home? are there any job opportunities?

With WF4 we gained the addition of tapered threaded holes such as NPT. I am questioning the clarity of the thread note that Pro/Engineer is creating for these holes. Take a 1/8-17NPT hole for example for which I have attached a screen shot of the hole note. Notice the hole note is calling out this: "Q" DRILL (0.344)The "Q" drill is correct ,according to Machinery's Handbook 27th edition, however a "Q" drill is NOT 0.344 it is 0.332. I have opened a call with PTC on this and what I am getting back is this: "For tapped hole, the NUMBER_SIZE is mapped to TAP_DR and DIAMETER is mapped to MINOR_DIAM_START of the hole file."To me the taper thread hole notes are very confusing and could easily lead to using the incorrect drill size. So my question to all you tapered threaded hole creators out there is this. Should the hole note read like this (the PTC way):"Q" DRILL (0.344)or should it read like this (with the "Q" and the 0.332 in sync)"Q" DRILL (0.332)  Thanks

Does Pro E have the capability of Dynamic sectioning like Catia V5 in video link below? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HQeTeQjiVE

Hello folks,does anyone have experience using a software called Rhino 3D ?what are the differences between proe (wf. 3 or 4) vs Rhino 3D? Is there an advantage in using both?I´m a big proe fan, but I have been asked to make a fair comparison.thanks, regardsAl.

is there a way to add a knurling finish to a model?

Is it possible, when using Wildfire 4 or 5, to save a file in a format that is compatible with version 3.0? Please be aware when responding... I am the Network Administrator. I do not use the software, and have very little knowledge of it's functionallity.

I probably sound romantic but who cares someone has to do it!! Ptc has hundreds of partners and thousands of customers, should Ptc invest in such a service? To find a job advertised speccially in Europe you have to dig all over the web!!! Times to come are very hard and Ptc is losing the game (see NX SolidWorks Catia they are miles ahead). Did they learn from the ComputerVision Cadds5? They bought them out!!! For every software company its power are the users and PTC thinks like Microsoft but there is a difference IS NOT MICROSOFT. I hope these words will put some thoughts!!!

in the insert menu, there is a pick called independent geometry. what does it do?

Hi,Just updated to wildfire 3.0 M220 and Pro/E will not do a "Save As" ProductView.

I have been using Pro/E for about 9 years now. I also use Solid Works as well. I work in a shop where we use bend deductions to calculate flat patterns. In Solid Works, you have the option to enter a bend deduction for any bend no matter what radius it is modeled in. In Pro/E I have to manipulate the "y" factor to get the bend deduction that I want it to come out to. That works okay but why not have the option in Pro/E to enter a bend deduction on any bend without having to change the modeled bend radius. We get Pro/E models from some of our customers and it is a pain to have to manipulate the "Y" factors and bend radius to get it to come out to what we need. It just would be nice if Pro/E had a bend deduction option.
