Changing the default user of Solid Edge
Changing the default user of Solid Edge
(OP)
Hi everyone,
Sorry if there is an easy and obvious solution to this, I can't seem to find it however.
Is there an easy way to change the default user of Solid Edge that pops up in the startup screen? Other than doing a complete reinstall of Solid Edge on the computer.
The name I want to change is indicated by the red circle.

We have a former employee's name in one of our computers that we want to change, so we can use the universal drafting template.
I tried editing User Profile in Solid Edge Options from the starting screen, but this doesn't seem to effect it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Unigraphics Solutions\Solid Edge\Version 105\CurrentVersion
And change the OWNER.

However, in our drafting template we've used the attribute "Last Author". And this metadata still seems to be the old name. Also when I go into file properties the metadata says that the file is currently opened by the old name.
Is there a way to change the metadata for the author?

I think the Last Author is taken from the Windows login credentials, not the Solid Edge installation name or User Profile from Solid Edge Options.

Therefore to change this you must log into Windows with a different user id/user name, open the Solid Edge file, then save the Solid Edge file. Unless you save the file this Last author value will not be updated.
