Hi, OK i accept my mistake & i assure you that in future such thing won't happen again. some friends have mentioned the truth that we are more interested in taking rather then giving ( we read the answers to our questions but do not post a summary ) and i accept honestly that i also belonged to the same clan but i am out of it, also we must comunicate (Queries or answer summary) such that it is easily understandable by the intended reciepient. One request i have that please don't take it to a particular community or country after all we are here to create a knowledge base for all of us and for the future to come, regardless of caste and creed. Thanks & regards Pradip

Michael,Please don't get the wrong idea... I love with WF2 - almost as much as Ilove this forum. I am only using this forum to ramp up my productivity asquickly as possible. If I sounded whiny, it is only because I am tired.And that is not the fault of any software...Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer. I will summarize in a bit.-Nathan

Sorry, but I'm resending this to see if it shows up this time.

I've created a helical coil that varies both in pitch and in diameter. I want to know how long the piece of wire that creates the coil would be. Can Wildfire 2 tell me this? I really don't want to have to brute-force calculate the length of Pro/E can do it for me. ThanksAdrian

What are you thoughts, both good and bad, on Wacom tablets and/or spaceballs? Im thinking about giving one/both a whirl, but I hoping to getsome feed back from the group about your experiences first. What is thelearning curve like? Does it really give the productivity gains thatthe manufactures claim? Any additional benefits that you wasntexpecting (i.e. reduced fatigue, less carpel tunnel pain, etc..)? Anystability issues? Any information you could provide is welcome.

oK, it's not friday, but it seems like a friday tread.Following all the treads isn't that easy for every user from foreigncountries. But have in mind, that the most countries have CAD forums too. Everbody hasdo find his own decision, which forum is the best for him. I'm from Germany and prefer this user group for fast and accurate response.BTW, if I can read the answers to my questions I can post a summary too. It's a question of honor to give if you take. Thats the spirit of allforums. Uwe> > Not to add fuel to the fire or take this too far off topic > but this exact thing crossed my mind this morning when I read > the posts.

I am creating a symbol (text only) with variable text. Q1. If my variable text has more than one line how do I get the symbol to accept the second line? I tried a backslash thinking that meant continue but that did not work. Q2. If my first variable text note has two lines and my second selection for the first note only has one line how do I not end up with the second line of the first variable note? Wildfire 2.0 m170.

Hello,Anyone using Kerberos for Windows with Windchill? Thanks.

I didnt see an answer to this... anyone? Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?if no answer how do others use simplified reps and or a build process adn use auto generated Balloons?

For companies with multiple printers to choose from, what is thepreferred practice? - multiple pcf files with plotter_command defined for each printer - 1 pcf file that uses MS_PRINT_MGR to allow user to choose the desiredprinterIf your answer was multiple pcf files, how do you manage who gets whichones (since users will only want to see the ones that they use)? I knowit adds a click for the users to select a printer if you go theMS_PRINT_MGR route (and I think that is the only disadvantage), but thatsure seems like the simplest way to go.Thanks,AB

Hi,I am seeking information on Suggested technique for sharing materialinformation between Pro/E and Mechanica. We do not have commonly sharedmaterial files, but would like to set this up for Pro and Mechanica.Unfortunately it appears as though the material libraries are managedseparately from each other.

Hey Gang,Maybe I'm phrasing this incorrectly, and maybe it's been brought uppreviously...How can I create a "include rep" in WF2 where the only parts that are inthe rep are the parts I select?ThanksMike

Hello Guru's,Just wanted to point something out. It could be coincidence or maybesomething for me to think about from now on. I expressed my opinion on aparticular subject that was going around. That subject is not important atthis time.I received an email from the Lyris server to confirm deactivation from thelist. I never requested to be taken off the list. I wonder why I wassent the email? I enjoy the exploder and all the power behind it. Iappreciate the people behind the scenes who provide the support for this tobe available to us all. The one thing I enjoy the most is the ability toshare view points with my fellow Pro/E users as long as it's professionallydone.I hope that we are not going to be kicked off the list for expressing ourview points. This may not be the case but I just wanted to share thiswith all of you. It's amazing how I was sent this notification aftermaking an honest statement.Maybe it's just coincidence and we can leave it at that.Be careful of what you say.DamiÃ&#

Does anyone know of a demo option that would allow large deformation analysis of a 3D model containing shells? I could use 2001 or WF2.Thanks.
