Folks,Someone recently asked me if anybody has tried using iPads or other tablets to view mechanical CAD data.I do not think they were interested in being able to author new MCAD data on the iPad. They were thinking of some simple viewing, manipulation, and other similar tasks. Ease-of-use is key.Any thoughts? Thanks!Thanks.Frank H. Strieffler,Lockheed Martin

Hi all,Just curious....Layouts have been around since the beginning of Pro, promoted asa way to bridge the gap from 2D usersto the 3D users. Personally, I usedlayouts very early on in Pro...then as skels, Pubs and ECGsbecame more useful, better and easier, I abandoned their use.Now that most of us are familiar and comfortable with3D and more robust, graphical methods are available, do you still uselayouts extensively?

First select the model name of the object in the top of the modeltree.Now go the color palette an pick a color.As soon as you pick the color, the complete model changes to that color.Enjoy,Ronnie Shand

How do I find the default line thicknesses for plots?Pro/Help says that UOS, Pro/E uses the default pen mapping table file in<loadpoint>/text/table.pnt. This file does not exist anywhere under myloadpoint.Using Wildfire 4 M200Andrew Kelly, P.E. | Senior Engineer | Crane Aerospace & Electronics |+1 440 326 5555 | F: +1 440 284 1090

There's an open SPR regarding this. Recommendation is to switch toswitch to Windows Classic theme.

Hello, can anyone tell me if it is possible to lock the position of dimensions relative to a sketch? I am creating a series of sketches which i am storing in the sketcher palette & i am noticing that despite my efforts to space out the dimensions in an orderly fashion, when i view the thumbnail in the sketcher palette, they are all over the place, sometimes on top of one another. The sketches are quite intricate, with tiny bits of geometry, & most look similar, so i rely on the dimensions as much as the geometry when selecting the appropiate sketch. Its most frustrating.RegardsJohn

WF5, M090 Playing with JPEG exports in WF5 with real-time rendering turned on. ILOVE that I can FINALLY save as a JPEG in perspective without having todo the menu dance because Pro/E would kick you out of perspective mode.I like that real time rendering is finally somewhat useful, out of thebox. What I don't like is that the saved JPEGs don't match what I see onscreen. The highlights change and the reflection and shadow getscropped oddly. And, if I save at a higher DPI (400-600), it's not evenrendered. (Typical PTC, frankly - fix it 80%-90% but still leave itcrippled enough that they shouldn't have bothered. But I digress.) Theproblem doesn't seem to exist in WF4. I've attached 3 JPEGs, one from the Windows7 snipping tool showing whatI saw onscreen, the other two from the Pro/E exports at 100 DPI and 400DPI. Anyone else find this and have a solution? I have a call into PTC, butI thought I'd ping the group here as well. Doug Schaefer

If I have a model open and decided to open "Mechanica Results" in a new window. I can't switch back to the model without closing the results window. Is there a way to keep the Mechanica Results window active/open and switch to another window that has a model so that I can do some work on it?Cluelss in Dallas."Too many people walk around like Clark Kent, because they don't realize they can Fly like Superman"

In the near future, we will be moving from Wildfire 4.0 to WF 5.0/Creo. Any words to the wise, or any thing that I need to watch for?
