Dear Lapuser, In my line of work, Sheet Cam is doing just fine. I do not have to create new code all the time, thus the extra cost would not be offset by gains in productivity. I still would like to get a handle on this 2D drawing view. The help menu in Solid Edge does not provide enough...

Thanks Beachcomber, I fail to see the difference / benefit of your suggestion, please point it out to me. I use "layers" to create the different levels. And, when you have a slot you need to manipulate the drawing anyway to get a closed loop with fillet corners with at least the radius of the...

Thanks Patrick, Essentially I come to realize that this is all a moot issue. In order for me to create a g-code with my Sheet Cam software I need "levels" for the various depth of cuts and other contours. When bringing the 3D model into the drwg. it has only the default level, thus I have to...

Dear Karmoh, That did the trick! I knew there had to be a simple standard way of doing it. Thanks Jorg

Dear Kenat, I am not sure that I am understanding you question correctly, but to answer it the way I understand it, No, I don't get anything, just totally blank, however, if I draw on top of the drawing view brought in from the "part" (par) environment then my Cam software "sees" that line when...

Dear Karmoh, Thanks for trying. No my parts are fully 3D I could not create them as Sheet Metal. I find this problem kind of odd. I mean pretty much everyone these days is using a CNC, so one would think that going from CAD to CAM should be a matter of routine. Thanks Jorg

Hi Karmoh, Yes, I want to mill on my CNC mill a part that I created as a 3D part model. My CAM software is a 2 1/2 D, thus I need to work from a draft environment. Besides, Solid Edge seems to have not the option to save a 3D part file in dxf. If I save the drawing (dft) as dxf my CAM program...

Dear Karmoh, Thanks for you suggestion, however, I am using "part" not sheet metal and in part I cannot find the "save as flat" option. I am running Slid Edge ST, the latest version. In the help section I find only references to sheet metal in respect to "save as flat" My hunch is that one...

Hello Everyone, When creating a Drawing View through the View Wizard of a part file my Sheet Cam CAD software will not recognize the geometry when I save as dxf. Sheet Cam needs the dxf format. For now I get around the problem by retracing the whole drawing. There must be an easier way. Any...
