Ashok,


To customize drawing setup, you can try this route. File>Properties. Click Drawing Options. The Options dialog box opens. Edit drawing setup options as necessary. Click Apply. Save your changes. I hope this will do it.


Good luck,


Hoang

First, i will tell you be not smile at my poor English.


youcan use the location grid or show grid to help your next work. Use OFFSET tool and orther tools,you can get what you want.

if you can not findwildfile 3.0\text\config.pro,you may create the file by notepad

I think what hnguye14 may be looking for is a way to directly import his SolidWorks template filesinto Pro/E format files 'as is'; i.e., with all the intelligent fields intact. Getting the basic sheets to translate should be easy, using a DXF format or the like. But I doubt thatretaining the parametrictext is possible,although there may be an easy way to re-establish the links to the parameter table.


Ifhnguye14 just got into Pro/E, PTC should be willing to assistyou directly on this, and should be overjoyed to havea new customerconverting from SolidWorks to Pro/E, as many customers are doing just the opposite. This is very site-specific stuff, so practical assistance on this topic from users on this message board is going to be quite limited, esp.for a new user.

Mindripper,


You're correct! I am attempting get part and drawing ProE templates for latter use as same way Solidworks had it. My companyis swicthingCAD systemand I don't know reason why.I had contacted PTCfor assistance in this matter and they're pretty much useless. Any tips to setup file templates within ProE directory, please let me know. I thank you in advance and look forward to your response.
