Question

Moving section views in drawing

I have never found a way to move section views to another location (other than the projection path) and keep the section arrows and
name. Converting to general allows the move but removes the name/arrows. Any suggestions?

Hi,



I would like to make a copy of an existing assembly which has drawings
associated with it. Problem is that I can't seem to get the drawing to
copy with the assembly. Having always used Intralink, I'm not sure if
it's something I'm doing wrong. I tried PTC support, and they are
telling me that I need to open each individual part, and do a rename of
each part, which I told him was absurd. It could take days to rename a
large assembly! So I'm hoping somebody came walk me though it.

Here are the steps I've tried.



1.) With the assembly open, I select File>Save a copy

2.) I give the assembly a new name

3.) This brings up a dialog screen with all the parts of assembly
shown. The check box for "Copy Drawings" is checked.

4.) I create new part names using the Template option.

5.) I select "Generate New Names"

6.) I select "Save Copy".



Pro/E generates the new part files, but it does not make a copy of the
drawing.

I'm trying to do this in Wildfire 5.0 M060 loaded on Windows 7

Well I want to thank everybody for the quick replies. The reason the
drawings were not being created was because the drawing did not have the
same exact name as the assembly I was trying to duplicate. Seems kind
of silly that they have to be the same name, but it's a problem I can
work with until we're back up on Intralink.



Thanks,

Rob
