Any major issues with Version 19?
Any major issues with Version 19?
(OP)
from some of the summits/users meetings I've attended, it seems that msot people wait until the 2nd patch release to isntall new versions of solid edge.
We're upgrading from version 15. I've installed version 19 on an offline PC so that we can spend some time to check it before fully implementing it. Has anyone found any major issues with it?
So far one of the issues we've found is some files comming up as "read only" whne we open them, but they are not set as read only. Maybe a factor of them being created in version 15 or prior?

I copied the entire drawings/model directory to a local drive on this PC.

Minor issue: Pos numbers generated by the draftlist show up,
the ones I put in manually only show the baloon, no text(even if it's linked to the draftlist)

It's been running quite good and the problems we are having are more network and server related. Regarding the copying of files, when you copy or move files within a directory always use Insight. When you copy the whole directory you can simply use copy and paste.
When installing any version of SE be sure too inactivate your anti-virus before installing. After installation upgrade your current templates by simply opening and saving them with the new version.

Needless to say I'm a little upset with all the extra work I have to put forward into updating the holes.txt file and not get any of the "enhancements" that are supposed to be a result of the effort.

What onefjef was probably referring to was Insight Connect, which is the name of the application that is installed along with Solid Edge. Two "applications" come with Insight Connect. The first is Revision Manager, which used to be what Insight Connect was called prior to the development of Insight. RevMan is used to copy, move, rename, and perform you file operations on SE parts in order to maintain the links. The other app is the view and markup.

One is whether or not the file was open on the network when you did the copy. If it was, Windows creates the tildy~ file to show that the file is inwork by someone else and therefore read only to subsequent people who try to open it. If you copied the file while it was opened, this information sometimes get stuck.
Another is the status of the Solid Edge file. If the last user changed the status from Available to Inwork, released, or baselines, it will be read only. Copying the file using RevMan is the only supported method to removing the status and making the file available. Users have created macros and utilities to do this outside of SE.
A third is the Windows read-only attribute applied to the folder or file(s). Sometimes, this attribute gets triggered for no reason. You have to make sure each file and folder is not read only.
Since you are using Windows Explorer to move your files, is your link management file being used to ensure link integrity?

In Windows, as a regular user, I was not able to delete files or copy files to that drive because everything was in the root directory of the drive (some sort of NTFS property). I created a new Drawings directory in that drive and cut and pasted everything in there (dropped on level) and then Windows didn't care if I deleted, added or modified files (as a regular user). However SolidEdge still told me the files were read only. Only after I changed the account to Administrator did it give me full read/write access.
I hope this is not a new thing in version 19.

Search for the "sespimpgde" file in the program folder of Solid Edge. It might be of some help.
What version of Solid Edge are you running? Are you running SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?
