Guys,In Wildfire 3.0 m160, Is there any way to parametrically add units to a mass properties note? For example:Area:&PRO_MP_AREA (SOME UNKNOWN UNITS PARAMETER) so it reads:Area: 145.579 in^2I have searched the online help and the PTC/USER archives and experimented. It seems so simple...

Well, It sure does help to poke around. I am not new to that idea, but I amamazed at how there always seems to be something that I learn whenever Ipoke some buttons that I never "noticed" before... They were always rightthere in front of my face, but I never took the time to click them. Here isan example (again thanks to Brian...) If you click the right-most tab at the top of your model tree: And then click "user group", guess where it takes you? Pretty nifty littlepre-made shortcut. Learn something new every day. -Nathan _____

Simple answer... Thanks Brian! _____

Associates, Thanks to everyone who came to my rescue. I would thank you all by name but the list is quite long. Your efforts on my behalf are much appreciated.DaveOriginal message:Associates, Does anyone out there have a copy of Innotiv Spekan's Spurge utility version 3.1 or there about. My version has been corrupted and I need a copy of the executable file sPurge.exe. Alternatively, if anyone has a link to the on-line location of this utility on Innotiv's website that would do just as well. Their website is in a foreign language that I unfortunately do not understand so it makes navigating a bit of a problem. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can lend assistance. Dave

Hi, I just released the OCUS Benchmark v5.1<">http://www.proesite.com/newframe.htm?/OCUSB5/ocusb5.htm> which nowalso supports Wildfire 4.0 The benchmark itself hasn't changed so the WF4 results can still becompared with the current WF3 and WF2 results. I also created a new comparison page where Wildfire 4.0 is compared withWildfire 3.0<">http://www.proesite.com/newframe.htm?/OCUSB5/prousage-wf4.htm> on mySUN testsystem. Check it out ... The results of my SUN testsystem can be found on ProESite.com as well:* Normal results<

No responses...so I am assuming the answer is no. Thanks anyway. -Art

Can anybody help me to get some tutorials for pro-programme? If I write pro-programme in the pro-e help centre t shows that no entries found to match your requirement. Can anybody help to get some material on Pro-Programme?

Hey everyone, I have heard some rumors that Agile Engineering Data Management isn't doing what was expected by the customers who bought it. Does anyone have experience with Agile EDM and can tell me how well or poorly it interacted with family tables? What kind of things were you required to do to maintain accurate data & relationships, and if you are still working with Agile EDM or if you are attempting to use something else, and what that is.Thanks for any input you can put in to the pot, and yes I will post a summary next week, Brian S. LynnTechnical Coordinator, Product Engineering

I had a similar problem years ago with an HP plotter, I was using a printer .pcf file and in that file I listed a similar type printer, and it worked fine. If your using a .pcf ans list the printer as AR-M237, I believe Pro have a pointer to a driver for that name. If you type in a different model number from Sharp, one with similar features it may work for you.My case was an HP750 CM plotter and it would only work correctly with the 650 being called in the .pcf.Might be worth a try,Good luck.Sincerely,Gary DeSantis

Hi pros!I know someone is out there who can shed some light on that. Our EEs are trying to figure out if they need to gothrough the scrutiny of the DO-178 and DO-254 certification and/or require that the software they are using beingcertified by these standards. So, they have asked what and if MEs are using something similar. I have not hearedanything like that and my knowledge on that is limited by some info I have found on Google. It is basically saingthat the software has to keep logs of errors and prevent from catastrophic failures (by FAA) and provide graceful exit. Anybody? Anything?Thank you,Dmitry

How do you put in a parmetric formula and naming the features?

How can I create a countersink hole in Wildfire 4.0

Hello, I'm trying to find out how to calculate the I (Area Moment of Inertia. | 1/12BH^3) in Pro|e. If I test a simple block (1x1x1mm) and check the mass properties I can find a couple of inertia values, but I’m not sure witch one to look for. With a 1x1x1 block I would expect a value of 0.08333 somewhere but it is not there. What am I doing wrong? Thanks... Ferry

Hallo, ich arbeite mich gerade in CoCreate ein. Bisher habe ich nur mit Catia gearbeitet und bin von CoCreate sehr positiv überrascht. Ich habe eine Lochplatte mit einem Haufen Rohren in den Löchern erstellt und als Paket gespeichert. Wenn ich jetzt auf Annotation gehe und eine neue Zeichnung erstelle bietet er mir er nur die Lochplatte an, nach Klick auf den Benutzer Button sieht man in der 3D-Vorschau aber auch das ganze Teil. Dann habe ich links in der Struktur alle Teile ausgewählt und unten auf Baugruppe klein gestellt, weils ja mehr als ein Teil ist. Wenn ich dann ausführe zeigt er mir aber nur die Lochplatte in 2D, auch in mehreren Ansichten, aber halt die ganzen Rohre nicht. Wenn ich nur ein Rohr auswähle kann er mir das auch als 2D zeichnen. Wie kriege ich das hin, dass alle Teile gemeinsam angezeigt werden??? Dank und Gruß Philipp

Thank you to Rick H. and Steve S.Steve's method below solved my issue. Apparently I was clicking done/ RTN before trying to save.I did get the mrk file to save to my working dir. Strange thing is that I wasn't able to view the marked up model with PVexpress?BTW - Are people actually using that mark up functionality? If you can please share how are you doing that and for what purposes?Thanks again to the group.Best regards,tw
