I have a process efficiency project where the user needs to open multiple unrelated objects, whose names could vary. Instead of them doing a file-open mutiple times, I'd like to list the probable files in a GUI list, allow the user to select several of them, then retrieve them into session (not display them). My question concerns the end users abilities in the listbox. Can a user select (highlight) multiple items in a listbox while holding CTRL key down?ProUIListSelectednamesGet says it Gives the names of the currently selected ITEMS in a list. I assuming "Items" means plural, but just checking before I sink a lot of time into a test, because the GUI apps can be time consuming.

Has anyone tried the autosave script put out by Cogras for Pro/E Wildfire 1 and 2???http://www.cogras.cz/index.php?id=products_autosaveIt is free to use, I was wondering if it is PTC approved...Mark NerbyFluke Corporation

I figured out the problem with the retract.Each sequence has it'sown separate NC SEQ CYS.When setting up the operation I created a MACH CYS and also created a retract plane offset the Z MACH CYS.I went into the operation and removed the retract plane.Every thing is working fine.Thanks for your reply's.In the custom dialog boxI removed the auto plunge,there is no retract to remove. Thanks, Rick

Thx to every one that try to help. Maybe my question wasn't extraordinary clear, but I got my answer from David Gallup. I think maybe the David's are connected somewhere... Anyway here is the answer:David

Hi all,Has anyone used ProUITree widget available with Wildfire 3.0?I am trying to create a Tree structure as shown below.|-Vertices| |-Vertex1| |-Vertex2||-Edges| |-Edge1| |-Edge2||-Faces |-Face1 |-Face2I am able to add Vertices as the Tree Node with following code.MyDialogName is the name of the dialogModelTree is the Tree widget added to the dialog in .res file.// Following line returns PRO_TK_NO_ERRORstatus = ProUITreeNodeAdd("MyDialogName","ModelTree","Vertices", L"Vertices",NULL,PRO_UI_TREE);// Following line returns PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERRORstatus = ProUITreeNodeAdd("MyDialogName","ModelTree","Vertex1", L"Vertex1",NULL,PRO_UI_TREE);// Following line returns PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERRORstatus = ProUITreeNodeAdd("MyDialogName","ModelTree","Faces", L"Faces",NULL,PRO_UI_TREE);But any further node addition to the tree results in PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR.This is how my dialog looks like with the above code.Regards,Vinay

What is the highest known AIX version that will allow PDM 3.7 to work? I found a hardware support for 4.3.x (which is what we're on); but IT wants to move to 5.3 on new hardware. Otherwise, test and see. If you have any experience with this, please let me know.Yes, my client still has not moved from Pro/E to evil CATIA like they said four years ago. We're getting close, but the PDM server is starting to get the flu and we need it to hobble along another 6-9 months.Regards,Scott Blackmanscottblackman@freightliner.com

I recieved several responces on this topic and the ways sugested will all work.

Hi,Is there a way to automatically out the manufacture model name for the ncl file?

Pro Gurus:Thank you all for your valuable input.The engineer draft specifies that the wire is not square but round andwithout flat ends. It's a torsion spring by the way.I re-discuss the matter with the engineer and he agree that he wasmiscalculated and give me the wrong overall height value. Which should be.1125 instead of .100.

Hi,I re-creating some formats and would like to precisely locate my textnotes centered at a specified X,Y location.

Thanks to all who replied. No clear winner for resale, best bet seemsto be to check the web for prices and then see if you can work aquantity discount out. ORIGINAL POST:

Many fast answers! The one that explains the best the solution was provided by Tyler:Thumbs up to all the responders, thumbs down to the multiple out of office replies. By the way, on my side, I can exclude the term " [model] " from my out of office reply... David

All, I have a struggle with table functionality. I want to modify the text in abox. Better than half the time I pick, I get to see the little box formodifying the file properties. Click done/return, try again. I noticed that the box highlights in different ways:Before picking, the box highlights blue. Upon picking: 1. blue outline, text stays yellow2. red outline, text stays yellow3. red outline, text turns blue. Can someone enlighten me how I should pick so I don't have to go over thesame picks again and again? What is the rationale for the differenthighlights? How can I get pick-once-because-this-is-what-I-wantfunctionality? ThanksSip WF3

I know this has been asked before - many times - my apologiesin advance - but a half hour on searching the Lyris exploder,COAch and PTCs website yielded nothing.Is there one definitive document that exists (preferablylike the attached link) that lists all the possible modeltree icons that can appear and what they mean?http://www.productview.com/ptcuser/layer-icons.gifThanks,Brad HackerME CAD AdminZebra Technologies Corp.

Hello folks, One of my users has just completed an evaluation of Mechanica WF2's new volumetric heating functionality and is less than impressed. Below are the details.

Guru's... We are finally discussing making the move from 2001 to Wildfire and arewondering if there is any reason NOT to go directly to 3.0? I thoughtthere was some recent discussions of this, but when I searched thearchive for "wildfire 3" nothing came up. Quite frankly, I almost nevercan find anything in the archives... is there a "trick" there? I triedthis group, the prouser group, AND the model group, all resulting innothing... thanks....

Is there a way to asychroniz the ProMacroLoad inside an auxiliary application? When I tried to call a ProMacroLoad(), it always started after the application was done.Any idea?Thanks,Leon

Of course a few minutes after I sent this I figured it out on my own.In the Mechanica results window you need to go to Edit > Result Window then in the Result Definition Window select the Display Location tab and then select Components/Layers in the pull down list. This will bring up a model tree which you can then select the components you wish to Blank or Unblank. Pretty simple I just needed to figure out where it was.Thanks to those who already replied. Next time I'll look harder before sending a question.Mark
