File Managment

Save As Tip

One 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

When 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 *
