speed up detailing...

May 27, 2004 3 Replies

I don't get to spend as much time with Pro/E as I'd like, but there is this nagging problem that maybe there is a quick solution. When I drop into detailing and hit show all dimensions, most of what I want to dimension is there, but it's ALWAYS crammed ontop of the part...I think, in any case it's not where looks good. Is there a setting to move it out spaced out into the drawing area so I don't have to move EVERY single dimension?



I'm using Wildfire.... someday Wildfire 2 might come near me.


Thanks!

Don't you have the dimension clean-up command in WF? I often use this, without the snap lines, just to separate all the dimensions so I can then move them or switch views etc.

I guess i'm a little more conservative in showing dimensions and hardly every do 'show all' until the very end, just to make sure I haven't missed any. Mostly, I try to help poor Pro/e out by doing auxilliary and projected views first with 'By feature and view'. This tends to clean up the main view so there aren't so many dimensions to deal with. Then, 'clean dims' works pretty well.
