Wire thickness question

Wire thickness question

Wire thickness question

(OP)
When wiring in Solid Edge V20, is it possible to have the wiring appear as large as the diameter specified, or does it always show up as a very thin line?

Thanks

RE: Wire thickness question

Show up where ? - in the model or in draft ?
Have you just created the pathe or have you created the wire also ?

In the model. I have created the path AND the wire, and the wire always appears as just a very thin line no matter what diameter I specify. With the model I'm working on, the thick wires are important to the design and may cause space issues, so the thin lines are not a good indication of whats going on.

Have you specified the wire diameters ?

Yes, I have selected the wire and changed the diameter under properties. The program understands that a new wire diameter has been specified, because it will warn you if you try to put a thick wire through a small hole. However, it still appears in the model as just a very thin line which clearly hasn't changed size.
