I've been searching and searching and haven't found any simple way to convert all of my free body to electronic versions using PTC software. Is this something that Mechanica can do?

Okay I searched the archives and didn't get anywhere.I would like to add an ampersand (&) to a note but since it is a special character I seem to be having problems making it happen. Is this possible?I want my note to look like the... TEST CAP, C&K, instead of ... TEST CAP, C AND K.... Any hints?

Hi AlIn the past I put together some info about trail files @

Does anyone know the cost of this module for PADS?Thanks,Paul

I am trying to lay a tarp roof over ribs and I would like it to show the tension in the tarp over the ribs. Is this possible?

I was trying to hold off a bit before submitting a summary, but it appears that this topics dead. I recieved one response (Daniel P.) which stated that they have the same issue and asked if we have a thickness parameter in our starter model(s). I cannot find a thickness parameter in ours, but I might not be looking in the right place. Daniel stated, "For us, the error log stops if we delete the thickness parameter.... Deleting any other parameter does not seem to stop the error log......"Thanks Daniel P. If anyone else wants to chime in with a suggestion, feel free.....I'd like to be rid of this fix_params.log.Mike Bills

Wow, I got a lot of replies in short order. The consensus is this: PTCtells you that you don't need to check everything in, but DO IT ANYWAY,because it's very likely there will be corruptions, whatever PTC says.

Unlike SolidWorks, Pro/E doesn't allow for the use of bend deductions. Our shop like a lot of shops use bend deductions to calculate flat sizes. We have our own BD charts that were made based upon actual test forms with different material thicknesses and bend radii. I can plut those charts into Solidworks and use the bend deductions. I know Pro/E has bend charts you can set up, but they are not based on bend deductions. Can PTC look at furture builds to support entering bend deductions?

I am a college student graduating in one year. I have been using Pro/E in some classes and really enjoy the program. I was wondering if there were any engineering firms or companies that offer summer jobs for college students that use Pro/E. Any information on summer opportunities for college students would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Hi all,has anyone ever seen this? What is this "The model is disconnected"?I think that, it should be related to the log message "Failure to assemble based on current connection definition.", BUT unfortunately I have no additional information about this failure! How can I know where is the problem?Thanks in advance.Vassilis AnagnostopoulosSpider SA

Hallo, ich habe mir OneSpace Drafting runtergeladen und anschließend installiert. Wenn ich nun versuche das Programm zu starten, erscheint die Meldung: The application is not supported for your Windows version. Aborting the application. Somit kann ich das Programm auch nicht registrieren. Ich habe als Betriebssystem Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 drauf. Hab das Froum schon durchforstet, aber diese Problematik nicht gefunden. Ich hoffe es kann mir hier einer helfen das Programm ans Laufen zu kriegen.

Hi everyone, Thanks for your response (and sorry for the slightly off-topic topic).Here are the only two that were suggested:

I am having a difficult time constraining my parts so that they move correctly later. Simply put, I have a mass with two wheels, one of which is driven, that needs to run along a rail. If I fix the mass first, the rail moves, and if I fix the rail first, I cannot constrain the mass and wheels. Any advice? Thanks, Kyle

Hello...Can anyone share the list of cocreate users all over the worls?

Well, I received some good ideas - enough to get me most of the way... Herethey are: Do it via a relation which should read along the linesif d0<500d0=d0+50elsed0=200endifThen the mapkey just needs to hit the regenerate button.

Hi all, There are already 10 file servers, now I need to setup the 11th one, for the neighbors setup, shall I include all of the 10 file servers or just inlcude some of them which will be communicated usually? is there any affection on performance if I add all of the 10 servers in the neighbor list for the new setup? Thanks Johnson

I'm using Pro/E WF 4.0 M070. I can start Mechanica and choose the "Lite" option. It puts me in "Lite Mode", but the "Process Guide" doesn't come-up nor does the button for it work (although it is not greyed-out). The vast majority of the Mechanica buttons on the right-hand toolbar are greyed-out too. Anyone familiar with this?

proe5.0 c000 out a long time, looking forward to the official version very much

Alot of times I do things that need to be mirrored on the dwg. Rather than create a whole new assy. I just convert to draft entities and mirror, but I cant get the dims to work. Anyone know how? Thanks, Jamie

Pro E users, Is there a way to change the sketcher scale? Upon the first sketch, if Idraw a circle, the value of the diameteris large. My parts are less than 1 inch in diameter (most cases). Iusually create a circle, and by default the value is a couple ofhundred, then I adjust the value to 1 and delete and then begin mysketch. Any ideas would be much appreciated. BradWF 3
