Model Tree Symbols, AKA Glyph
Posted January 26th, 2011 by admin in
Every now and then here at the Guru Headquarters we run into something that takes some research to figure out what PTC was doing, well here is one of them. In the assembly model tree there is a little symbol that shows if a component (or feature) is fully defined or suppressed, frozen, packaged.. ETC. well I found the name and a chart of what they are. Not sure why the name "Glyph" but the attached image shows what they are.

A Handy chart to look up standard Hole sizes. Not a full list but a quick reference.
Windows 7 running Pro Engineer
Posted January 22nd, 2009 by admin in
With the release of Microsoft's new beta release of Windows known as 7 at this point we felt obligated here at the Guru headquarters to load up a Quad core machine with both Vista and Windows 7, and fire up a seat of Pro/E to see the results. Our first run at Pro/E on Vista was Horrible and a total failure; this newer hardware and Vista SP1 runs Pro E just fine, as a matter of fact it seems to run as well as XP does and has a little softer/fancier look to it.
Pro/E Wildcard Searching
Posted June 2nd, 2008 by adminWhen opening a File within Pro Engineer it sometimes is cumbersome to wade through hundreds and sometimes thousands of files to find the one you are looking for, well we have a speed secret for you; Pro/E allows the use of "Wildcards" in the file browser. When looking for a file you can put an asterisk before some of the characters of the file name or after or either; pretty much the same as normal wildcard searching works.
Give it a shot and you will see what we mean, this goes back to the old DOS days of using Wild Cards *
