Upcoming changes in ST3
(OP)
For those that don't have access to the Solid Edge newsgroup, this it what has currently been revealed about upcoming changes in ST3.
Regarding the GUI:
Quote:
Enhanced Assembly Configurations
Enhanced 3D Measurement
Drafting:
Continued enhancements to Parts List
Support for mixed languages in drawings (unicode)
Retrieve Dimensions from Assembly
Assign item numbers in assembly to be used in drawing balloons
Support multiple drawings on single plotter sheet
Sheet Metal:
New Closed Corner Types - U-shaped, V-shaped, Circular offset.
Etching - Sketches and Text on faces survive flattening
Ability to add tabs to flattened sheet metal model
For mfg purposes - not shown in design model
Report complement angle of bend angle in bend table
Export flatten sheet metal model with PMI to JT
Pipe/Frame Design:
Several highly requested enhancements
Regarding the GUI:
Quote:
Yes, we have a huge effort in this domain for ST3, concentrated on the two major issues affecting most users:
1. Command bar and Pathfinder space contention.
2. Fully customizable Ribbon Tabs.

I'm still having trouble getting used to this ribbon interface.

RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
you are still with ST1, arn't you? In St2 the drawing tools as well as
the dimensioning tools are now reunited

RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
Yes, we are stuck with ST1 for the moment because another company we are working with do not want to go to ST2 yet. They are waiting to ensure that other stuff is compatible.
I don't know what the other stuff is exactly, but they use ANSYS and that was mentioned when I asked why not upgrade.

You might want to check with the author if you can post that here. The Canons of Conduct for the Siemens PLM Forum do not allow information to be re-posted without the author's approval.
RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
the information I have is that the interface of Ansys12.1
should work with ST1 and ST2. Older versions of Ansys do
work with V20 and lower only.

Is there a way for me to remove my original post?
RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
In theory, people can be more open on the Siemens PLM forums since the information is protected. In practice, this is getting increasingly harder to do in today's world of Facebook and Twitter.
RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
I know that many people here don't have access to the Siemens PLM forum, but they still have strong opinions about ST, the new GUI etc. So if you or Dan feel that you can share some nuggets in the PLM forum about upcoming changes it would be really nice i you cross-posted that here, especially if it concerns changes to the GUI
RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
You're correct there Raaden, I'm one of those people.
I work as a contractor so don't get access to the web-keys and log-in details for GTAC.
I would love to be able to contribute but it's just not possible. I asked a local VAR about getting my own access because I was a regular user (but not owner) but they wouldn't do it.
As a user since V3 I have seen most of the development of SE.

RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
I think you will see more people "going where the customer is" due to the social media craze. It should get better for you.
In my case I'm super accessible and hang out here, on twitter, on Facebook, on the Siemens Forums and on Google Wave. I can even use email and a phone
Unfortunately (for now), my sphere of influence is Solid Edge Simulation and not the domain you are interested in.
RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
I will check into this and see for sure but I think all you need is the sold to number and you can get a password to log on.
I see this issue raised in other places so maybe the rules need to change if indeed it is impossible to do this. I am not happy with how hard it is to get access and information and tutorials from Siemens and I know others are not happy either. Siemens is starting to pay a lot more attention to what actual users want and as far as I can see they are serious about this so now is a good time to raise these issues with them and your VAR if they are worth a flip.
RE: Upcoming changes in ST3
I don't know when you actually have time to work with SE Simulation, but I'm guessing you do most of it through Second Life
