I have some points as part of a datum curve. I want to rename the points individually, but since the individual points are not separate features, it seems I can't rename them.
Again, something that would take me 2 seconds to do in WF4 has resulted in hours of frustration and wasted time.....with no solution.
Is this an "enhancement" like taking away the "Add Inner Fcs" option in a swept protrusion? Am I supposed to fix this somehow with a "Fill" feature too?
Why must I be forced to completely relearn Pro/E with these "nothing but" GUI changes? I'm wasting far too much time trying to find stuff I used to easily find in WF4. And the "Help" isn't.....
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok, so, I finally found it. Again, they saw fit to bury the same commands that were once easily accessable.
If you're in a top assembly, and ANY feature or buried feature you want to rename is in a part or lower-level assembly, you must either OPEN that assembly and do it there, or ACTIVATE the part or lower-level assembly where the feature resides. So, you have to do all this, AND scroll thru 2 separate menus containing ALL the many features in a part (some of mine have had 1,400+ features!) to get to a simple rename, instead of just doing it?!?!?! Wow. Can't wait to be done with these changes so I can go back on WF4.
Hi Frank,
i could be wasting your time here, but worth a shot. I am not currently using Creo 1, still Creo/Elements Pro, but here i rename individual datum points by selecting File_Properties_Features and Geometry_names, click change, locate your point to be changed & rename it. Things might have changed in Creo (like you already stated in your post) but just maybe this is the same.
Regards
John
Nah, you're never wasting my time John! Thanks for your reply.
Since it's a point buried in a feature, it doesn't show up in the names. I wasn't able to find a way. I'm going to look some more because I'm pissed off, but we'll see.
Man I HATE this interface. I hate working on other people's stuff because they, unfortunately, are using (and struggling with) Creo, while I've chose to stay on WF4. As most of them are ex-solidworks people, I find it harder and harder to fend off their criticisms.....because they're right. Especially since I've chosen to stay on WF4. Way to make a giant leap backwards PTC........
