Solid Edge AutoCad Emulation (Paper & Model Space)
Solid Edge AutoCad Emulation (Paper & Model Space)
(OP)
Would someone please link a tutorial, or video clip, or better description of this function?
Nothing mentioned here that I could see.

This is probably the best so far.

Solid Edge also provides a familiar process for generating detailed drawings from 2D layouts. Similar in concept to the model and paper space methodology in other 2D products, 2D layouts are designed at 1:1 scale.
This is probably the best so far.

Simplistically go to view, 2D model sheet, and it should show up on the tab at the bottom. Select that tab and draw away at one to one.
When you want to create a view from that on the regular 'sheet 1' just click on sheet 1 tab, and select the '2D model view' button. For me it's the 10th button, between 'parts list' and 'smart dimension'. You can select your scale as part of the process of placing the view.
Or have I completely missunderstood.

I no longer have access to SE, so am just trying to understand the function. I was hoping to see a video demo.

If you are used to work with paperspace in AutoCad you will quickly be at ease with Solid Edge 2D drafting.

By 2D model are you talking about hybrid 2D/3D? Which is on page 2 of your last link www.ingene
I'm confused.

RE: Solid Edge AutoCad Emulation (Paper & Model Space)
SE has always had the "draw in view" feature. This expands in it by allowing 2D geometry to be displayed across multiple views. Yes, much like Model Space / Paper Space. Along with grouping, it's a great way to create 2D floor plant layouts.
You have to remember that unlike other midrange MCAD modelers, SE did NOT tack on a drafting program on top of a 3D modeler. SE took a full-featured 2D drafting program and integrated it with a modeler. The 2D portion still (at least by that time) had plenty of resources in its development.

You can then create a view of the whole or part of this 2d model on the Working sheet by placing a draft view, which I think, equates to placing a Viewport(?) in ACad.

RE: Solid Edge AutoCad Emulation (Paper & Model Space)
I just checked in DWGeditor, and realised it uses the model and layout (paper) concept to match ACAD.
Thanks for all input.

@ beachcomber & CorBlimeyLimey
You have it right. The difference between the SE 2d model sheet and AutoCAD is that in AutoCAD it is actually 3d model space.
