differences between pro e 4.0 and 5.0 schools edition

Hi!

A week ago i installed the pro e 5.0 schools edition, and I was quite pleased with the new outfit, but when I got to the 2D drawing I found myself in some trouble...

I am using a german version, so it could happen that I do not use the terms which are used in an english version of pro e.

1) how to view axes? I think I once found the right button by accident, but since then, I didn't find it again...

2) when I insert a dimensioning the value is directly between the arrows. But i want to have it above the dimensioning line.

This is, what it looks like at the moment:

Unbenannt.JPG

And this is how I want to have it look like:

Unbenannt2.JPG

3) again dimensioning: this time I want to have the values turned around:

Make this:

Unbenannt3.JPG

...looking like that:

Unbenannt4.JPG

4) Last but not least: how can I change my model from "shade" to "visible edges", "invisible edges" or "wire frame" (I guess i didn't use the right terms here, even I do hope you know what I mean)

Thanks for answering. In fact I really like pro engineer, but at the moment I'm kind of distressed with all that... and I guess there will be more problems with the 2D drawing...

Greetings, Sebastian

    1) To show axes, dimensions, etc. use the Show Model Annotations icon found on the Annotate tab. You need to then select the appropriate tab then depending on what you select, ie feature, view, etc., items will appear in the dialog box. As you move the cursor over the drawing items will highlight to show what will be selected if the left mouse button is pressed. To pick items you can select items in the main graphics area, views in the drawing tree, features in the Model Tree, or a combination of the three and items that can be shown will appear in the dialog box. If you erase items you need to find them and unhide them in the drawing tree. Erased items don't show in the Show Model Annotations dialog box, deleted and items that have not been shown do.

    2) & 3) In the drawing options change the setting for text_orientation.

    4) You need to select the layout tab. Select the view or views from the main graphics window or the drawing tree and right mouse click to find Properties.

    Thank you so much for helping me. I guess I will need some time to get into the new layout of Pro e 5. But for now: thank you!

    Hi! Again me

    And again a problem. I guess you can somehow edit a parameter to change the display of this, but i just don't find it.

    This is how it looks like:

    Unbenannt.JPG

    As you see, the arrows marking the section are pointing into the wrong direction...

    And here the one how I want it to look like:

    Unbenannt1.JPG

    Thanks for your answers!

    In the Drawing Options change the setting for crossec_arrow_style.

    Thanks for that. I'm kind of ashamed, that I didn't find that one... but now the arrows are in the rigth position, but they are pointing again in the wrong direktion:

    If i change the material removal side it looks like that (the lines in the right section disappeared...):

    I think I tried every option, but didn't find the right one...
