Hi.. Do not forget, Proe can merge only surfaces and not Solid features but when is your model made with surface than just select one surface hold the CTR key and than select another one which will be merged. Than click on the Merge tool..
It works fine with me, I have tried and everything is how it suppose to be. I have 2 parts in asm, select Edit, Component_Operations, and I have Merge and I can select it.
I'm on WildFire 2.0 M180
You didn't provide use a lot of information on which base we could figure it out what is wrong, can you elaborate a bit more, maybe post picture.
You did not set the config.pro options listed in your link! Your reference scope is not allowing external references so Pro/E will not let you do a merge or cut out.
Judging by picture you have only one part (at least only one part that have geometry) and because of that you cant merge only one part, it isn't logic, with what would you merge one part? it cannot be merged with it self!
Add another part and you would be able to merge them.
Like I said you cannot merge geometry from one part to nothing; other part as you stated have got only datum planes which aren't geometry and it CANNOT be merged.
So to make this clear:
To merge solid geometry you MUST have 2 parts (or more) WITH GEOMETRY!
Search help files to fully understand solid merge.
Like I said you cannot merge geometry from one part to nothing; other part as you stated have got only datum planes which aren't geometry and it CANNOT be merged.
why not use copy geometry if it is only datum planes or datum curves...or youcanuse merge from other modelso you don't need to create separate part ifits just datums,you can merge your cast modelincluding datums to create your machining part..hope it helps...
Dougr is right, you can merge solid geometry from one part into another empty part. I do this all the time to make machined parts fom forgings or castings. Does this capability require AAX?
Oh, gosh, am I in trouble. I merged a forging to a blank part (just datums) so I could maintain associativity between the forging and my material for the machining model. Now I'm trying to add GD&T, but I can't name the datums because it's apparently referencing the datums from my merged feature and saying the names already exist. Is there a way to either:
a) make ProE ignore the merged datums?
or
b) make ProE ignore the associativity of the datums (i.e. not merge all of the features, and leave the GTOL datums out of my merged feature)?
The drawing is due at COB tomorrow, so I don't have time to remodel it. How screwed am I?
