PRO ENGINEER: May 2011

Monday, May 30, 2011

Step by step guide:

Go to Layout->insert object->new->paintbrush picture

Just copy the picture you wish into paintbrush, save it. The picture is now on your ProE Drawing.

In WF4 it works also like that.

1)client has connection to the license server? Ping the server

Start->CMD->ping “hostname” or “IP-addresse”

2)Is there any firewall running that blocks the flexnet port?

If yes disable it or open the port

3)Open the license file and check if the hostname is correct

check: start->cmd->hostname and enter the shown hostname into the license file

you’ll find the file here: flexnet\licensing\license.dat

4)Is the MAC Addresse in the license file the same as the MAC that the ptc setup asks you for?

If not you’ll probably have to change the rank of your network cards.

You can do that here: start->regedit->

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \NetworkCards

Simply change the rank of the network card that has got the asked MAC to NR1 and restart

the Computer.

5)If the problem occurs after a system/server crash check if any network card is deactivated!

6)After a Creo Pro Engineer crash it might happen that the license is still in use:

Start->cmd->services.msc and restart the service flexlm server for ptc

or flexnet server for ptc

7)If don’t have permission to access the license server you can release a license from your client too.

1) start->cmd->ptcflush

2) the order will ask for the following syntax: ptcflush [feature] [license server] [port][handle]

you can explore the syntax easily by typing ptcstatus

Once I was asked if it is possible to change the dimensioning in the

drawing from mm to inch and backwards, and to convert the units properly at the

same time.

Yes it is.

You just have to change the dtl opitons...

dual_dimensioning and dual_secondary_units

...to the szenario you want to have: mm->inch or inch->mm

(you can also use foot,cm,m)

For example:

dual_dimensioning SECONDARY

dual_secondary_units INCH

Now if you had the drawing in mm ProE uses the secondary unit(INCH)

and converts it automatically.

e.g. 100mm->3,94inch
