Protect assembly when exporting
Protect assembly when exporting
(OP)
Hi,
I have an assembly model in Solid Edge which I want to export to a .step file.
How can I export such to .step such that when someone opens it in Solid Edge they can only view the model as a whole, and not be able to select individual parts?
Thanks

I'm not 100% sure if it will work but it's worth a try.

For complex geometry if often wont work, so you can't always rely on it. Also when a colleague & I took this up with then UGS they discouraged it.
However, I've used it to my advantage before.

Did you ask UGS of an alternative way of doing it?

If you avoid these you should be OK.
Bringing the assembly into a weldment might be another option.

Another way to the same end can be to create a simplified assembly that you then save as a part but you still face the same fundamental problems.
