Oh, yeah! Thanks, David. I lost sight of the forest looking for the trees. That was one of those questions I'd put in the "to be sorted out" bin but hadn't yet needed to address.

: [ A tip (?) for Pro/E newbies, such as myself, about using Help: When : searching for an option that might be used for some purpose or other try : adding an underscore to the search term. A global search of the Detail : functional group for the term "_scale" returns an unintimidating thirteen : hits vs. forty hits for "scale". ] : That's a good one, hadn't come across that, Jeff. Any help in using Help is appreciated. Another hint: if searching on a literal phrase, enclose in quotes ~ it actually works!; otherwise, get the results of searching on each word separately. Can't imagine why it doesn't AND this stuff, but it doesn't. The quotes narrow down the hits considerably.
