Logo work and importing .prt data

[gtrude]

Hello everyone,

Trying a new operation in Pro-E and can't find a way to get it done. I have logo work in a native Pro-E file. (a number of sketches, text extrusions, etc...) I'm trying to find a way that I can import that .prt file into another Pro-E file. Most other softwares I'm familiar with, this is a simple File:import.

Does anyone know how I can do this in Pro-E?

thanks in advance,

greg

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions so far. The simplest way is to dumb down the part file (as an iges, step, etc..) then re-import it as a "shared data".

But what I'm really looking for is to know whether or not I can import a part file into another part file, thus retaining all parametric operations. (seems strange that Pro-E is able to handle foreign data, but not native)

There are various ways of bringing in Pro|E data to another Pro|E part,
I think what you are looking for in Inheritance from another model. Go
to insert -> shared data -> inheritance from another model. You'll need
a CS in each to line up and Pro|E will drop the entire source model,
including the full model tree info, into your target model

thanks doug. That sounds like it might be what I'm looking for. Except under insert:shared data:merge/inheritance, the merge/inheritance choice is greyed out. I don't suppose you'd have any idea why that is?

Dear Greg,

The best way would be to use the 'User Defined Feature'. Create a UDF in
the 'source' part containing all the features you want to transfer, then
in the 'target' insert a UDF. There are lots of options, as you would
expect from ProE, but it's worth persevering with.

Regards,

Rod

ProE users,

How do you get the PDF icon back on the tool bar. I removed it and want it back.

It's likely that you don't have an AAX (Advanced Assy Extension).

A simple Copy / Paste of the features from the source model to the
destination model is also possible. Very similar to UDF but you skip the
step of creating the UDF. Time saver if it is a one time job.
