black edges pro/wf2

[ingmec]

Hello colleagues, I need some of you to help me. I'm a mechanical designer, I've always used inventor, but as a result of change I have to get used to using another software or pro-e wf2.
I need to understand how I can change the appearance of the models part in particular I would need to change the color of the feature and color of the edges. I would like this modification to be global, that is, available for all the files that I open. Thank you in advance.

hi ingmec, I didn't understand your question well.
What do you mean by color of features, color of the part or just some surfaces?
If so you should create a macro and assign it to a key.
in this way open the part, and with the button you check the color.

I think he intended to change the graphic configuration of pro/e so as to resemble inventor will surely be the trauma in good sense:biggrin: of the passage from one cad to another, I have also been for me the passage from the good old pro/e to catia but cmq the first love never forgets


Hi.

rs4 you caught in full the juice of the matter....... what I most care about beyond is to change the color of the part and the edges in all new rows of por-e. an example: I open pro-e, I create a part for extrusion or revolution and I would like that by default the color of the part was for example gray and geometry, that is the edges were black. is this possible?

I had understood what I meant cmq are discussions that have already been treated, and unfortunately regarding the black edges pro/e that I know have never been implemented and I do not know if it will ever be done, now I haven't used it anymore for a while I stopped at wf2, asesso catia use

As for the default color I think you can do. . .

someone expert will come to your help be quiet!!! as soon as Maxopus or others comes back and they will read you

I put the discussions already dealt with

Hello

 

[maxopus]

if you want them... even if they will never be like those of inventor or solidworks.
keep in mind that they weigh a lot and that in 5 years (as far as I use pro/e) I have never used them.

thanks maxopus...... great!!! Since you're here, I'll put you another question.

- Because when I create a line, I don't have the right key to build it?
-You can also set the measuring system globally or do you have to do it for each created part?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't know why it doesn't work, did you try to click first with the left button on the segment to highlight it and then with the right button to open the context menu?

for measuring units you must set in the config.pro the following options

pro_unit_length
♪

I also recommend you to create a default start part (it would actually take more than one) with correct drives and parameters so that all new parts are created using it as a model.

 

[ingmec]

Yes maxopus, I do the line, I exit from the command, I select it with the left button but the right button then does not work....mah

 

[ingmec]

maxopus, I managed to transform it into a construction line by selecting the line and choosing from the edit-toggle construction menu....but the right button does not act

very strange, the problem is that I don't have the wf2 installed to check (it goes back to 2004 if I'm not mistaken).
Let's see if there's any user who still uses it and can answer it.

I also found myself in trouble without black edges, it is really a lack this pro/e that you do not understand how they can not solve in ptc!

......... .

But I can't understand why ptc never thought about it!

According to you, have they never thought about it... or is it a technical choice just point, since the pro/e files weigh 1/3 of the others and from the point of view of the management lightness "from the heels" to all the existing cads on the market?

Sorry... I accidentally modified your post, I just wanted to relay you.
If you have the text you posted, I'll put it back.

 

[ingmec]

maxopus, if it is not a problem, since I am asking questions to raffica, you would ask me a brief description of what is the config.pro, where I find it, or where I create it etc...I understood why fundamental to customize pros.... would you give me 5 minutes?thanks a lot

It's not enough for five minutes, now I have to finish a job and then I'll put something on you.

 

[ingmec]

no problem maxopus.... do with convenient....I can wait! Thank you.

I no longer have the text but it does nothing, however I did not want to be polemical against ptc only that I do not understand where the difficulty is to put the fourth button, after the two wireframes and shade the button with the shade with the black edges ... I don't think that the black edge weighs at the file level... It is only a representation that is uploaded by the gphraphic tab, now the picture pulls them behind you ... I don't stay any longer in the 2000s... (well times!!! ! ! )

then if you take a cad as ug (which costs more) the file weight problem does not arise because he has simplified representations (rep,facet) that allow you to load a
together very big and handle it quietly, both in shade, and wireframe, and with black edges...

I'm getting used to it without, but having them wouldn't mind...

you tried to hold down the dx key for a short period (a fraction of a second to understand us)...

Hi.

ptc has no difficulty in putting them only that like all the products, they want to make users work lighter and cleaner, black edges weigh much to the graphic level this is a fact.
we can make a thousand benchmarks and the result is always equal.
the lightest representation in absolute is the wireframe if it is for this, because the graphics card should not calculate what is in front or behind.. .

 

[ingmec]

thank you preparation-h... it's as you say....now it works. thank you so much!maxopus do not forget about the question of config.pro...of course when you can.

I'm sorry, but why don't you go back to work with ug?
in veneto there is qlc that uses :biggrin: (e.g.carraro)
