Thanks a lot for those who replied to my survey!Out of 9 people who reply, 5 of them are using maximum values ,3 are usingnominal values and 1 (max for purely electronic component & nominal forelectro-mechanical components).

I'm using WF3 I've two layers hidden, one contains surfaces & the other one contains curves, if I have the model in "hidden line" or "no hidden" modes they don't show, as they sup suppose to, but if I switch to "wirefrane" & "shading" mode, the surfaces and curves in the hidden layers are shown. What to do? Or this is another one from PTC, when they take something that had been working forever and stop working with a new version.

Ok, so I used the search tool to save a whole bunch of dimensions to aQuery, and it says"Layer created" etcSo now I have these layers, with all my dimensions in them, in the LayerTree. Maybe I'm missing something basic here, but how do I go back later and usethe saved query or these layers to quickly & easily modify these dimensions? -- Lyle BeidlerMGS Inc178 Muddy Creek Church RdDenver PA 17517717-336-7528 Fax 717-336-0514-

We are running WF 3.0 M130, and we are outputting .dxf's that are thenconverted using TruTops to a .geo. After this conversation takes placeall the solid lines are dashed. If we take and open the .dxf in AutoCADand resave it as either a 2000 or 2004 .dxf the file then convertscorrectly. Has anyone encountered this or able to tell me what is setincorrectly. I would greatly appreciate it. Tyler Nielsentnielse@daktronics.comMobile- 605.690.1156Desk - 605.692.0200 ext. 56572Daktronics, Inc.

Does anyone know if it is possible to pullinformation from an existing animation into a text file or simlar? I want to view the timeline with any associated view/display/transparency@time, events, etc.I can takescreen shots, but that means zooming in and out of the timeline to capture the information. As you might have already guessed, thisis a terribly time consuming, tediousway to extractthe information.It would be really nice if the information was in a continuous, sequential format that didn't takea day to create.Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!!!Krystal
