Does anyone know which system color (in widfire 4) to change to modify the color of the "scale" text and "model name" etc. at the bottom of the page in dwg mode.

Hi When I import a dxf file and then convert it with autobuildZ to a model,I have found that sometimes the sizes differ (+/- 5mm) and even some lines that where at an angle have been made straight. The problem is I sometimes only realise it after I have done a lot of changes to the model. Is there some setting I have to check? Any help is appreciated Thanx Rene

I am currently using the student edition of pro-e and I was wondering if it was possible to change the measurement system from metric to english and vice versa.

Does anyone know if ProEngineer supports import of IDF files version 4.0? I currently have IDF files of my PCB's in version 3.0 but the tracks and pads are missing, and I was told they do not exist in IDF V3 but will be included in version 4.0. Another way would be to import VRML files, but I cant get that to work. It simply gives me an empty PRT. Any ideas?

I have inherited a computer and it has a server connected to a workspace. I want to work directly from the local on the computer, however whenever i go to save a file it directs me to the workspace. How can i fix this problem??

I'm not sure that PTC ever officially said IE7 was supported. OK, I did a ptc.com search for 'internet explorer support' and found thefirst result [1] was from 2006 and warned against using IE7. A fewitems down, however, lead to a page last updated in May 2008 [2] thatindicated that IE7 is recommended or required (depending on how youinterpret the chart) for WF3 M070 and above. I expect that you'll find similarly clear communication going forward onIE8. [1] -http://www.ptc.com/appserver/wcms/standards/textoimgothumb.jsp?im_dbkey=

We are running WF2 M180. Is Pro/E compatable with newInternet Explorer 8? I seem to recall something about IE7 and Pro/E so we never updated to IE7.

I find I can't add to my menu/toolbars when I am in sketcher mode, and when I am not in sketcher mode the sketcher toolbar isn't available for obvious reasons. So how can I add or remove items from my sketcher toolbar?

Something I tried the other day. Create mapkeys for the sketcher constrians,cs = constrain symetricalcc = contrain consistantcm = contrain middlect = constrain tangentand so on, and so on.I find it very handyBrDaniel

Does anyone havea solid model of a foot they can share?Thanks,Paul

I always have a terrible time trying to find compatibility matrix. Iwant to see what versions of Windchill, Wildfire 4.0 is compatible with?

Hi,We put several company logos into plastic parts. I am trying to create UDFs to help speed the process up. Right now, we are using saved sketches that are imported in from Adobe. These work fine, but once you bring in the logo you have to dictate the SCALE and ROTATION of the artwork. Once you have placed the sketch you are locked with that scale. Is there anyway to make that SCALE be able to be modified?Thank you,James

Hi everyone, People who have used them will know what I'm talking about... how do youget them on a model? I've seen them used at last year's PTCUser conference but I can'tremember how to get the zebra stripes on a model. I'm pretty sure it hassomething to do with rendering, but I'm not 100% certain.

I have been tasked with evaluating Widfire 4.0 for an upgrade from W3. If you're on W4 currently, have you seen any issues? Have there been changes that made things harder than they were in W3?Thanks for any and all your comments.

Would anyone have a NI symbol library they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance.

Hi, since using WF4 I am having a problem with thin protusions being too thin? I never had this problem in any other version of pro/e. Is it some kind of material configuration or something? I just want to do a thin protusion which is 2mm thick. Here is a screenshot incase you dont understand what I mean.

It was as I feared. The only way others have found to change the noteformat, was to delete, and recreate the hole. Thanks to all who took the time to reply!
