I think what RFJ meant was to create a second view on the hole chart sheet identical to view on page one. Then you have view on page one of holes and hole chart on page two linked to second copy of view on page one. That's why file would be larger.
I have used that technique myself to...
Most of the problems I've had in saving as dwg from a draft seem to arise from an unrecognized text font. The font is fine in SE but when converted and opened in ACAD the font has become the default and often runs way over the drawing borders (especially in title blocks).
Haven't had the need...
We have quite a few old ACAD drawings we sometines import ito SE draft. The default settings usually work fine for us. The elemens are brought in coloured as they were in AutoCAD. Sometimes this is a problem if you end up with yellow text on the SE draft white background. One quick tip is to...
When using SE V11 (we are now on V14) we would sometimes have situations where commands "disappeared" or things weren't working as expected. Usually had to do a reboot and then things were bacvk to normal.
Depends on what you mean by partial section. If you are trying to make a view with a partial cutout you could create your cutting plane to show only the area of the part you want sectioned. Then create a view of the part corresponding to the section, shorten the view to hide the part shown by...
I have found that if you put the text in as prefix with two spaces in front, ie " AB", then the text is positioned exactly where the actual dimension would have been, unlike sub- or superscript that put text above or below that position.
the Access violation sounds like errors I used to get until I upgraded the video driver. We used to crash simply from moving a balloon in a draft. Very frustrating when you haven't saved in a while.
Check your video card driver. Make sure it's OpenGL. Get the latest driver available for your card. Play with the troubleshooting settings under display properties - settings (from Windows desktop). And yes, check with SE tech support. They have likely seen this problem before if you're using a...
We get this problem with V11 over network when network has had a blip (or gone down and restarted). Sometimes we can't even save the file locally. You certainly learn the value of saving often after that happens. The network (Win NT4)reestablishes the connections to the mapped drives but seems...
Hmmm, off the top of my head I would say the problem probably has top do with invalidating a connecting point or plane when you insert a feature with the goto command (such as round, which changes the adjoiniung surfaces). When you try to return to the last feature something has been lost that...
Hmmm, we are in the process of getting upgraded to V14. I hope that the copy and paste still works for us - we kind of need that feature here :)
What graphics format are you using? I have been using mainly bitmap or jpeg or tiff (the ones supported internally by SE). Others just tend to...
Using SE V11, I have found the best way to insert images in a draft is to copy and paste from another graphics program. I load the image I want to insert in the graphics program, have the draft open in SE, copy from graphics program, paste in SE. Then I right-click on image and change scale in...
cspilman,
Who's the professional here? Me, for giving my "educated" opinion (based on my personal experience, not on "friend of a friend") or you for questioning it because I don't happen to agree with you? I was replying to pquillet regarding his query on AutoCAD and/or...
Sorry, are you using Unigraphics? I was talking about Solid Edge. Same company, different program. :) I haven't used UG in a long time and didn't do any rendering with it so can't help you with the anti-aliasing. It appears that Solid Edge doesn't have an option for that. But since my advice...
Do you mean "surfacing" as opposed to "solids"? If you are using SE you know that solids are basically 3D shapes defined by their corner points, curves, extrusion lengths or paths, etc. Surfaces on the other hand are just that - surfaces of parts. It takes six surfaces to...
