Starting with the basics and keeping it simple, Solid Edge will automatically create a varible for every dimension. Like fwc stated above, you will have to set name by to both in order to see these varibles. You can change these varibles (rename and add formulas) in the varible table or by...
Fernando is right. Under the properties and units tab, if you set your length readout and angle readout to the desired decimal places, this will change them in the varible table.
If you're still having a problem with this, you may want to call support. There may be something else going on.
You can create a solid body by doing as suggested above, or by using the thickening command. The surface must be a stiched surface. One other way of creating a solid body is by the replace face command.
Hope this helps.
It's been a couple of years since I've modeled one up but you're on the right track as far as starting out with a protrusion and then applying the helical cut-outs for the two flutes. What you will want to do next is the included angle.
I need to get a hold of a handbook so I have some hard...
The only way I know of doing this is by converting it to text then copying and pasted. The problem with that is you lose the associtivity. V-15 you will be able to add it to a seperate page by specifying which page you want it placed on while maintaining the associtivity.
I'm not sure of the question you are asking? What are the dimensions or manufacuring techniques or how to model with the info you have?
It took me some time to understand the process before I was actually able to model twist drills. That's the big battle. You have to know how they are made...
That's a good idea. I never thought of doing it that way. I've always just added it to the working sheet and saved it in my template. That's just with parts and sheetmetal, I'm not sure how the affects would be with an assembly.
When calling out the properties, make sure you are defining "by graphic connection" or "by graphic connection to the part", otherwise you can only retrieve from the properties in the draft file. Hope this helps.
I know this may not be what you're looking for, but is the only way I can find to change the line style. Under properties, display of the section view, you can change the visible line style to what ever you want. Only problem is that it includes all visible line styles for that view. As far...
You may have something wrong with the file prior to adding features. Unless I'm not fully understanding the problem, you should not have to "go to" to add any rounds, chamfers, ....
Is Solid Edge crashing, or locking up.
Try this. Go into your template file. Insert a part file. Add a cutting plane, changing the line width or type to your preference. Once created delete the part and save your template. Next time you create a cutting plane it will default to that style.
There may be an easier way, but this...
Shri,
Being that Solid Edge (and Works) is a mid-range software, I wouldn't consider this a draw-back. Fast Blank is used in conjunction with Solid Edge. It is very simple to use. I know this because I use it. Once my model is created, I click on the icon for fast blank and I am in the fast...
