Just moved all our users from 2001 to Wildfire2, hoping the
translation would go as smooth as PTC states, well supprise it is
not!!!
For some reason it seams that they have changed the way Pro/E
calculates weight, in 2001 you could have a relation that populates a
userdefined parameter with weight - weight=(mp_mass("")) well this no
longer works as the mass calculation now seems to trigger after the
relation is run.
I understand that we now are supposed to use a system paramter called
pro_mp_mass instead forgeting that we have thousands of drawings
allready using the weight param + the intralink parameter.
How the #@&&%!!" are we suppose to handle this problem??

Any ideas??

It'd be nice if you were already using ModelCHECK because this sounds like the
perfect application for it. It can go through commonspace, open the files, run a
check for the defunct parameter and correct it. And it can do this unattended, off
hours, for as many nights as it takes to complete the task. Maybe PTC has a better
idea! Of course, if they did, it would have been nice to put it in a 'What's New
in WF2' document.
