Layer Off All Datums etc. In A Top Level Assembly

It looks like you need ModelCHECK. Certain of its features, like layer_place and layer_move and a couple for checking display status might be able to automate fixing your customer's mess. As with many of the better Pro/e features (family tables, formats, tables), it takes a lot of work setting it up with the right information (rules), but it can fix a lot of stuff for you, including, possibly putting datum features on layer and blanking them. The automatic stuff can be run in batch mode, making it even more efficient.

: We are regularly receiving models off one of our customers where they do not : layer off any Datum's, Axis or Csys. Is there any quick way of layering : them off in the top level assembly as there are literally hundreds of parts : involved. They tend to use the display buttons to turn them off but when : you are assembling parts together turning these back on makes the assembly a : mess and could mean the wrong, say axis, being selected. : : Here's hoping someone can help : : -- : Terry : : A reply is always appreciated, even if its to say I was wrong! : :

Thanks for the reply, looks like a bit of light reading ahead :-)
