Diameters and Tolerencing...

[Vesh]

Im new to the Drawing side of Pro/E and am stuck in a couple of places...

1) How do you dimension a circle/hole with "dia." instead of the default radius?

2) How do you turn off the tolerencing, so it default displays the nominal dimension value?

3) How do you add a 'solid' 3D isometric model when you "insert a general view"?

Thanks in advance.

1) To create a diameter dimensionin drawing mode, pick the circle twice before placing the dimension. In part mode, while creating the feature: If your feature is an "extrude", pick the circle twice before placing the dimension. If it is a "revolve", pick the entity, then pick the axis, then pick the entity again, then place dimension.


2) Set the following config.pro options:

3) When inserting a new view, select General, and if you want to, select Scale. Set orientation to "Default", and Done. If you need to change the orientation the Isometric view, open up the model, then rotate the part to the desired view. Now, on the top toolbar, select View, Orientation, Reorient...

In the "Orient" dialog box, pick on saved views. This will open the saved view section. Type in a view name, and pick Save.

Now go back to the drawing. Double-click on the general view that you just created to get to the view's properties, and select Reorient. In the "Orientation" dialog box, select the view name that you just created, and pick Set, and OK.

If you mean a shaded view, it can not be done prior to WF3 except by inserting a jpeg into your drawing which will cause all sorts of plotting problems.

I'm sorry, I though he wanted just an isometric view. We use Wildfire 1 and we have gone "paper-less". All of our process drawings are done with "pdf's". Sometimes, on complex parts, we do add another sheet to the "pdf" drawing which may have many shaded isometric views. These views are usually done by (cntrl-print screen), brought into "paint", cut & paste just the shaded image, saved. Then turned into "pdf" with Adobe. It is a tedious process, but we do not do it all the time.

Sweet,

Thank you very much for the help.

As for a solid image Ill have to do the print screen method as stated, and then convert to pdf etc.

Cheers...
