  Miscellaneous Questions

  1. Is there a 3D model of a human figure which can be imported into an assembly drawing in order to add a sense of scale to an architectural layout?

  2. I am trying to import a step file into solid edge. When the process is complete some of the parts are invisible. It is possible to open the invisible parts in 'solid edge part'. Once opened the part is visible but appears to consist entirely of part copies. I am using V19. When I right click on any part copy the option 'make base feature' is not available. What am I doing wrong?

  3. How do you plot or print a single sheet when you have a multi sheet drawing?

  4. When sketching is it possible to do an offset without copying the profile

  5. I have an assembly and want to send it to my customer with some comments on it. How is this done?

  6. Is it possible to import a Solid Edge model or assembly into 3D Studio Max?

  7. I need to send a PCF file to a customer which has some comments and mark-ups applied to it within the View and Mark-up environment. I would like the comments to be applied to a view of the assembly in its exploded state. How do I access the exploded view configuration from within V&M?

  8. Is is possible to ensure that some or all properties in a draft document have actually been set or updated from a default before saving and exiting the job?

  9. We need move all our Solid Edge data from one server to another. Is there a global change utility to allow us to do this or is it a case of using revision manager on each file to change the path?

  10. I have an assembly with around 76 parts. I used the assembly as a template to create a new assembly where several parts changed. SInce I do not want the original parts to change, I used Revision manager to make copies of the parts which will ultimately be modified. Is there now any way to make some sort of list so that I can compare the two assembly structures to illustrate what has changed?

    I understand that this would be easy if using Insight or Teamcenter but I am running Solid Edge unmanaged.

  11. What is the best file format to use when importing a 3D file and no Solid Edge file is available.

  12. I have used the face style 'pearl (clear)' in an assembly file and it renders just as we would like but when i render it using ERA nice rendering, it appears very reflectictive and therefore not transparent, even though the style doesn't have any refection in it's attributes. Any advise please?

  13. We are using the standard Batch VB application supplied with Solid Edge to print multiple drawings. However, it always prints all sheets in the draft file. Is there a way of restricting this so it only prints certain sheets.?

  14. I would like to send a Solid Edge assembly to someone that uses Solid Works. What is the best format?

  15. An assembly structure has been copied to a new name and location by using Revision Manager. Then the same has then been done to the Draft file for the assembly. However the draft file is still referencing the old assembly in its old location. How can I make the new draft file reference the new assembly?

  16. I would like to start testing Solid Edge ST4 but still need to use of ST3 at the same time. Is it possible to install ST3 and ST4 on the same machine?

  17. I am having problems getting my Standard Parts to run. I seem unable to define the location of the Standard parts SAC file within Solid Edge options. No matter what I do it just shows a blank entry.

  18. When revising a part in revision manager on our Insight server. If a where used function is performed it only displays the next level of where used information. It does not display all levels right up to the top level assembly. How do you perform a nested or recursive where used function.

  19. How can I change the default templates, shown in the application menu? I want to change the default ISO for ANSI metric.

  20. How can you batch translate multiple Solid Edge part files into STEP

  21. I have installed Solid Edge ST and got it working OK. However, since customising the location of the User Templates I can no longer create new documents using the shortcuts on the welcome screen or application menu.

  22. I am unable to locate the PathFinder window in Solid Edge ST. How can you switch its display back on?

  23. Can SolidWorks files be batch imported?

  24. Have accidently set a files status to Obsolete. How can you reset the status to available as the file is now read only?

  25. I have some Solid Edge models and drawings that I need to send to a supplier for feedback. What is the best way to do this so they can view and interact with the data most effectively?
