Instead of picking "new" part, assembly, or drawing, you can pick manufacturing. Can you pick up on this without too much trouble if you have been using the CAD side of pro/e. I may be transfered/working to the machine shop, and there is talk about pro/m(manufacturing). Thank You Just a little nervous

Richard, Yes, it's relativelly straightforward, IF you have some familiarity with machine shop practices, etc. If you do, this can be a lot of fun, and VERY useful to the enterprise. In my own small design and prototyping business this capability puts me in a whole different world from where I would be without it. No conversion in and out of different packagaes, change the part and the tool paths update automatically, etc. etc. In my work I frequently get from design to finished parts and assemblies without paper. Good luck, and contact me here or by email if you would like any more information! David

Richard, I'm not sure if that was a question about "these machines" handling tolerances. The quick answer is: not at all. You define machining sequences based on the nominal model. Of course, you can set your model to max or min of tolerances if you want, and you can define stock allowance in Pro/Manufacturing, but tolerances per se aren't really relevant. David
