Standard Parts Library...
(OP)
Anyone know why I can't see any parts in the standard parts library? I installed it today of the CD but when I open it I have a blank slate. Do I have to create the library? I see a bunch of parts in the starndard parts directory. Any thought? thanks.

On the Foundation version, when you install the SP library, you get a few nuts & bolts, you have to generate your own content.

IMHO SE-PartsXL (free version) is far superior and I use it on a regular basis, but it's horses for courses and in my field its exactly what I require.
I don't believe that SE-PartsXL is free anymore but the original is probably available somewhere on the net.

It's not available anymore. I remember trying it out with V14 a few years ago.

Sorry I can't help you more, our SE representative supplied us with a custom-made parts library, so I didn't spend much time trying to figure out Standard Parts.
If I remember correctly, there's a PDF or HTML manual buried in the DVD somewhere.

It may help sort out the problem.

It can take a while. Start it one evening when you leave work.
Use the recommanded setting (option 1 with the new ST version). But use the other option (multiple parts) if you're using an earlier version.

In Part Administrator/Register the "Recommended" option shows no entry in the Standard Parts Installation Database box. Attempting to point to a new .ddb file indicates that no .ddb files existing in my Standard Parts installation folder. (Actually I've searched my drive and only Skype files are .ddb.) The other weird thing is that Current Standard Part Database indicates ...StandardParts19.mdb, which I believe should be ...100.mdb, for SE ST. I can hit the file selector button and manually select StandardParts100.mdb but the window only enables the CANCEL button when I return; the NEXT button is ghosted. I think that's the crux of my problem but I can figure a way around it. Seems like I'm not successfully registering the ...100.mdb database to make ST happy. BTW, the databases are on a different drive, which has been working fine for years.

did you run Start --> Programs --SolidEdge ST --> Standardparts
Configuration Wizard
after the install of the 'Standard Parts Server' and the 'Machinery
Library'?
