How to open a Drawing from the Model

How to open a Drawing from the Model

(OP)
Hi All,
Please help me to find a way to reach model from a drawing, the reverse side is so easy (Just D'Click on any view).
Thanks in advance

RE: How to open a Drawing from the Model

There is no direct way to do so. You can open the model in Revision Manager, perform a Where Used search, and then find any and all drawings that the model is used on if your search parameters are large enough and you have the time to wait.

Thanks Scott for saving my time serching this, in solidworks we were able to open (If the drawing is in the same folder and same name)
Also is there a global scale factor for the Hatch spacing (to change hatch spacing for all materials and in all views of a sheet)

RE: How to open a Drawing from the Model

Also, with a file open in Solid Edge, you can perform a 'where used' by clicking the Application button, Manage, and then Where Used. Pay attention to the options as you can filter what you want it to search for (Drafts only as an example).

I don't think there is a global setting but you would do it through the styles settings.
These are file based so if you do it in your template files it would appear in all new files.
Existing ones would not be affected.
Existing files would have to be done individually, but you could use the styles organiser to copy in the new style definitions.
