Thumbs up Re: Pro/ENGINEER Configuration Tips

Hi,

If you are working with moving parts with joint definitions, there is a cool config.pro option that will allow pushing parts with moving parts. This can be very useful when you have designs that are moving but not always in contact with each other.
enable_advance_collision yes
Definitely good to use in the design, idea or prototype stage before you have a fully defined and constrained mechanism. Once you have enabled this option, you must turn on the push option in the assembly settings by picking Tools, Assembly Settings, Collision Detection. This will open the Collision Detection Settings dialog box where you should set General Settings to Global Collision Detection and set Optional Settings to Push Objects on Collision, OK.
