File Managment
Save As Tip
Posted June 2nd, 2008 by adminOne quick tip that you can set in your config file to speed up the save as process, when ever you create a part, do the drawing to go along with it (named the same always) and if you place RENAME_DRAWINGS_WITH_OBJECT to BOTH in your config.pro setup file now when you do a save as of the original part you will also get a new drawing to boot, and in a later tip we will go over doing this same thing in an assembly and end up with a whole group of Parts and Drawings for "Free".
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 *
