Creo Modeling Questions

I am able to retrieve an item from PDMLink by just typing in the file name in the File-Open dialog in Pro/E. Another user is not. This other user does have permissions to the file, because he can navigate to the file in PDMLink then open it, but not just a retrieve by file name. Why would it work for me, but not him?Thanks, John

I have several CT scans of knees. Each knee is currently being saved as an IGES file. I would like to create landmark points on each knee, and use these points to create axes and planes. Finally, I'd make cuts to the knee with said planes and sketched curves/circles passing through points as seen in the attached figure. If I had 100 knees, I wouldn't want to do this process 100 times. Does anyone have tips on how I could automate/repeat this PRT?

All,I recently updated our datecode to WF3 m200 x64from WF3 M120 x32. we noticed in our ncl file that we are getting a line that says "GOTO / 0,0,0,". In our ncl file prior to our datecode change this line was not showing, it would just show the first goto position. Is there a setting somewhere so this "home" position will not show up? Or is there somthing about the m200 datecode that is causing this difference?ThanksBrad

I just heard a rummor that Product Point is being dropped by PTC. Someoneplease confirm.Ron Rich

Anyone know the website address at PTC where you can give users in your company the rights to reconfigure software? I can't seem to find it.David HaighPhone: 925-424-3931Fax: 925-423-7496Lawrence Livermore National Lab7000 East Ave, L-362Livermore, CA 94550

It seems to be related to files with an additional .dot. in the name,like artist.song.mp3 or similar. Spekan seems to be looking for allfiles with two periods in the name, assuming they are Pro/E files andappending a .1 to the file name. Doug Schaefer

It turns out there is a standard icon that will toggle the reference dimensions!It's called Annotation Element Display. If it is not on your menu, it is under the VIEW section when go into to customize your icons.Thanks to Tony for this information.Doug[cid:image001.png@01CBFF6B.61DCB970]

Sorry for the off topic question.Anyone know if Creo Elements Direct has to be installed on the local system, or can it be installed on a network drive like ProE.In other words, is it dependent on registry entrys, dlls, and paths installed on the computer to run.David HaighPhone: 925-424-3931Fax: 925-423-7496Lawrence Livermore National Lab7000 East Ave, L-362Livermore, CA 94550

When our engineers move Pro/E files out from a classified (off network) room, they are required to interogate the files to ensure that classified information is not present. This is simply done with a text editor.In some model files, we are finding mystery references to other files that should not exist.We suspect that there was an external reference at one time which was eventually deleted.We confirmed that there were no external references with : Info > Global Reference Viewer.Yet, we still see something in the file that needs to be removed.We tried using a text editor to delete or replace the reference, but this caused Pro/E to fail to open the files afterward.Pro/E stated that the files were corrupt, and attempted to repair them, but failed.We need to "cleanse" these files.Any advice?Gerry

Hello to all :- can i know the output velocity of a gear box if I have designed that properly and how I can do that Thanks

There is an option to show dual dimensions but I do not remember it. Also there is an sentence that you type into the options box to get a listing of all of the options available in ProE, can you help me with this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

As it is possible to display in a graphic window (in a mode 3D) the following information: the geometrical values together with parametres corresponding to them. For example: d1 = 500 mm?

Hello -I am tasked with maintaining a large number of ProE files on a network drive folder as I await IT assitance in migrating to our PDM. Can anyone suggesta good 3rd party tool that purges/archives previous versions of the files in order to keep the network folder manageable in size?Thank you - Brian

Thanks Dean. That was what I was looking for. Thanks everybody else for theother options. Thanks guys. Son NguyenGreat Plains Mfg.108 W. 2nd StreetAssaria, KS. 67416785-667-7763 ext. 3477
