Hello all, I am a new user and I'm really lost! I use Mechanica Wildfire 2.0 (without Pro/Engineer) and I want to know which system units are defined by default and how to change them. I've read that in Pro/Mechanica the system units by default are Inches-Pounds-Seconds. Also I've read that in Mechanica there are no units, it only works with the values you enter... Is that correct? And I think... if there are no system units, how can you know, if the result is meter or milimeter or ... Thanks a lot.

Hi all, Is there a way to make "component outline" in Pro/E as can be done in "Product view"? (In shaded view - make colored body edges - outlined in black) this can be very helpful to quickly understand bodies with many features

Gentlemen,I am in need of examples of companies that have, or are switching from Solidworks to Pro/E. I have received a document stating that there is but one such case, that of PT Tech. This sounds rather suspect, but the implications are seriously hindering our ongoing efforts.Any references please,Haben Sie einen WunderbarenTag.Have a great day.Gregory Richards

As usual, I made a fool out of myself but not just trying this first. Imust admit that I had never tried to actually paste something into the iconeditor in Pro, but I just figured that it would not work. I just alwaysassumed (and we all know where that gets one) that the copy/pastefunctionality in the icon editor was just for use inside of the icon editor.Not true!You CAN paste things into the icon editor in Pro. I used Alt-PrintScreen todo captures on the icons that I wanted, pasted into Paint, and thendownsized to 20 x 20 pixels, the size of the Pro icons. The results werenot all that whoopi, but it does work, and it at least gives you some placeto start. I did download a free icon editor as well, and that really didn'thelp a lot, because utlimately you still have to copy and paste into Pro,and the results were about the same as coming out of Paint. That could havealso been the icon editor that I chose as well.Thanks to all the respondents. Here's the responses that I received:I was

Dear All, I know that this topic has been discussed many times... but want to discuss it with you because of a personal esigency... I need to know which of the 2 systems is : 1. The fastest in building parts from a macro file (that is without using the GUI) 2. The easiest to build parts from a macro file (or some other way) and to have them built correctly 3. The system which is mostly used in industry Please document your thought by pointing to some document or some technical review!

Have wildfire2 with Mechanica student version, and am having trouble using the large deformation option (greyed out) - just wondering if this is supposed to work in the student edition?

Thanks for the quick replies. It seems that there are a lot of sitesout there providing free and commercial fonts. I did not get anyrecommendations for a specific font and I will just have to sort outwhat we want and go from there. Thanks, Ron Grabau Responses below: Hi Ron, Interesting question. I have been looking for something like that for along time and keep coming up empty handed. I wonder how one would goabout creating a custom font.

Does anyone recall the environmental variable or demo option that shuts off or minimizes the Mechanica UI ? I'm running mechevent files and do not want to see the UI.Thanks in advance.

Back in Rev 19-20 there was a way to get a full screen display, no bordersor menus. Anyone know if that is available in WF 2?Thanks,David LawrenceMechanical Engineer301.552.6300, X124301.577.9466 FaxSigma Space Corp4801 Forbes Blvd.Lanham, MD 20706www.sigmaspace.com

Good afternoon every one ! I am currently using pro/mechanica for a placement in Spain. I am making some static analysis and I need to add a resistance force using a kind of friction, but I can't find how to do it ! Is it possible ? I looked in the help but I didn't find it (and it is not se easy to find things in spanish...). Somebody knows how to help me ? Thanks for your help Florent

Thank you all for your responses. Most responses had the same suggestion. Create multiple .hol files, one for each type of hole; one for tapped, one for counterbore, one for countersink, etc. Each .hol file will have a unique callout format. Eric

Which is your opinion on the new sketcher of WF 3.0? I can't understand why PTC reduced the functionality of the sketcher. Sketching on WF 2.0 was faster and more accurate. There are a lot of drawbacks like the inability to apply more than one constraint when sketching new entities.Vassilis AnagnostopoulosSPIDER SA
