Solid Edge versions problem
Solid Edge versions problem
(OP)
Hi to all experts
My office use Solid Edge ST2 to design some sheet metal project, that`s look excellent, but problem occured when guy who should manufacture this use Solid Edge V19 and can not open these files. Tried to convert to .iges, than back to V19, but can read just .part files.
Any tips?
P.S. Sorry `bout my English

RE: Solid Edge versions problem
...and can i save those as some solidworks file, convert them to sheet metal in sw and open them somehow in v19?
thank you again
RE: Solid Edge versions problem
If you have trouble maybe you could try 'convert to sheet metal' but I've never played with that.

RE: Solid Edge versions problem
Going through SW will not help.
However,make sure you save as a version of parasolid that V19 can open. Your manufacturer should be able to tell you what that is.
If he's not sure then he needs to open a model go to
'Save As' then Options. He will then see a list of versions.
You will need to do this and match that version when you save your files.

Winning combination is the mix of all of your tips.
Forget about ANY Assemblies, that going down the sink, but save as much as you can. So, your work (.part or .psm) save as parasolid for previous version can open. Sheet metal part are opening as .part so u have to "convert to sheet metal part" them,(file by file), which is going very well and fast eather. Do your assemblie again. Hard work for months to create something is not completely lost, but u must do assemblies again...that`s sucks.
If someone find better way to do this sheet:) - please share with us mortals
Best Regards to all interested
RE: Solid Edge versions problem
A small detail for converting files you need to have the original templates from solid edge in the default template folder.
Hope it helps

RE: Solid Edge versions problem
Course u can save assemblies in parasolid at their
respective places,that`s helpfull, but thing is all of it is .part, without any .psm
I worked on self-supported construction based on sheet metal, among thousands of files only few was .part, so after months of work, don`t like to do everything from the beginning just due versions mess up`s...
Nevertheless, Tnank you all

Which is why whenever someone talks about changing CAD packages to match their supply chain, I mention that you still need to control version. (As well as all the other issues).
