SparWeb - I took Mindell's course on the history of Apollo in 2010 ("Digital Apollo" was one of the required texts for the course.) Easily the greatest, most interesting, most memorable course I've ever taken. He had 12 students have dinner with Commander David Scott! He's a great teacher and...
Here's the 500 pages of info - it's not a single report, it's the entire docket (like the entire collection of documents produced):

Also, I'm not sure if anybody has ever listened to this, but the podcast 99% Invisible, which is about design and architecture, did a 2-part...
This is driving me nuts. Using Solid Edge ST2 Synchronous ISO Part. I have a list of points that form a 2D closed curve. I store them in a three-column Excel sheet with x,y,z coordinates in mm (where all the y points are 0). Here is that Excel sheet:

Hi beachcomber,
Thanks for the tip. I actually just a minute ago suddenly thought to google for solid edge API. Not sure why I didn't realize this before :) Anyway, that brought up this guide:

which appears to...
Hi everyone,
This is a bit of an unusual request, so I'll try to explain the context. We are doing a multidimensional optimization of a tokamak fusion reactor, and have a CAD model built in Solid Edge ST2 Synchronous which is parametrically driven. So there is a Variables table (currently...
Oh, perfect. That works. Thanks very much!
(You'd think Siemens could write this into the help file! It looks like the help file was written for history-based modelling, since it doesn't mention anything about having to lock the dimension before being able to use variables to control it.)
Hi av8errr, thanks for your reply. I tried to look for the "lock tab" in the variables table that you point out, but I don't see it. I've attached a screenshot of the variables table and my part -- perhaps you could point out what you're talking about?
If I am unable to drive dimensions from...
The instructions for linking a Solid Edge part to an Excel sheet (so that I can dynamically drive dimensions in the part from the Excel sheet) don't seem to work for Synchronous Part in ST2.
Is there a way to make this work for Sync parts?
Alwinus,
Thanks so much for the suggestion! The BullZip PDF writer works perfectly (albeit several times slower than the Adobe PDF writer).
I wonder what is causing this error? Would be interesting for the engineers/coders at Siemens and Adobe to talk to each other and figure it out :)...
Hi KENAT,
The 'print all colors as black' setting in the Print dialog box has no effect on the problem. The setting was already not applied before; turning it on replaces all the Dark Cyan annotations with black, but doesn't change the shading in the pictorial view, nor does it stop the...
Hi everyone,
Fairly simple problem here, but it's driving me (and everyone else in my lab) nuts. Here is a screenshot of Solid Edge ST2 Draft, showing a pictorial view of my assembly.
Settings for the pictorial view (right-click the view, choose Properties > View Shading tab) are "Shaded...
You know what, this was my fault. I had tangent lines turned off. With those turned on, it comes out beautifully. (See attachment.)
I will leave this thread here as a reference for others.http://home.cogeco.ca/~olynyk/vessel_Fport_with_tangent_lines.pdf
Hi all,
I am trying to get a highly accurate PDF (vector) image of a 2-D isometric view with hidden lines off in Solid Edge ST2. It's a complex assembly drawing. I can get it to export, no problem, by using Solid Edge menu > Save As > Save As Translated...
However, as you can see in the...
