    coppy a plane

    When you are in place editing a part within an assembly. You can hold the shift key down and select assembly reference planes in order to use them to create sketches or other features within the part. ST4 also now allows the same thing to be done with the planes on an assembly coordinate...

    Assembly drawing with automated exploded view creation

    Hi MarinaAlb, You can create an exploded view of an assembly by activating the ERA (Explode Render Animate) environment. You will find the command for this on the Tools Ribbon within the assembly. Once you are in ERA you can use the Auto Exoplode command which uses the assembly relationships...

    Training Video suggestions

    Hi Windell, I can't mention any specific training videos as it would go against the posting / marketing guidelines on this forum. What I would suggest doing is a Google search like the one in the link below. You will find there is a massive ammount of information available that is right up to...

    Pattern edits in ST3...Syncronous

    Hi, You need to edit the second part, then create inter-part copies of the holes in the pattern in the first part. Then define persistent relationships between the inter-part copies and holes you want them to drive. There is actually a new command called Create Inter-Part Relationships. This...

    Macro help needed

    Hi johand, I am not a programmer myself but did have a chat with one of our IngeneaSoft development team. This is exactly the sort of macro they write frequently for different customer needs. It would be pretty easy to write and shouldn't take any more than about half a day. You have defined a...

    Changing Background in ST1

    If you are using the standard template files delivered with ST1, you will have the default gradient background. The best way to change this is to open up each of the template files. Then on the view ribbon choose the view command. Then on the background tab make your changes and then save the...

    how to insiall v19 in windows 7 64-bit

    First release of SE to support win7 was ST2. That is not to say the V19 or V20 won't load though. Jon Sutcliffe / Solid Mastermind The Solid Edge Community. Video training sessions, best practice documents, process maps and interactive training http://www.SolidMastermind.com

    Solid Edge stops responding when Parts Library is clicked in .asm

    To clear this up, is it when you click on the Parts Library Tab?..... Nothing to do with standard parts or machinery library? If so its not that the Parts Library is looking into a network folder or somethething similar that no longer exists. I have seen this cause long timeouts in certain...

    Solid Edge stops responding when Parts Library is clicked in .asm

    SE really needs to be installed whilst UAC is switched off. It can cause all sorts of issues. Jon Sutcliffe / Solid Mastermind The Solid Edge Community. Video training sessions, best practice documents, process maps and interactive training http://www.SolidMastermind.com

    Solid Edge stops responding when Parts Library is clicked in .asm

    Have you tried installing ST2 with the Win7 UAC switched off. This has caused issues in the past and the recommendation is to have it turned off. Also ST2 did not properly support Win7 until one of the Maintenance Packs (1 or 2 I can't remember) so make sure you have the latest MP installed...

    Trimming in Drawing

    This should work exactly the same as it does within a profile / sketch. There should be no reason at all for the academic version to be different to the commercial version. You will probably find that one or both of your lines are not connected to the circle. Jon Sutcliffe / Solid Mastermind...

    Flip bend in ST sheet metal

    Yes that should work Or very similar is to Deatch existing flange and other geometry Mirror it all then re-attach There maybe also circumstances where the steering wheel can be used with the detach option set and the geomtry moved / rotated. All depends on what the final result needs to be...

    Flip bend in ST sheet metal

    Looks like something that ST2 sheet metal just does not support. When manipulating a flange like this by rotating or simply dragging the thickness face back on itself the geometry fails. In this case as things are very simple, I would just delete the flange and add another which goes in the...

    rollback event...command stack - Solid Edge V20

    I'll start by saying that I am not a programmer myself, but do work with our team of developers on various Solid Edge applications. I believe we have run into this before (or something similar) and the solution was to terminate Solid Edge and start it up again after a certian ammount of files...
