    Solid Edge ST4 - now available for download

    If all goes well I will have my dirty little paws on the new release tomorrow morning. I will spend the next few evenings testing and playing around before doing a complete company upgrade. Solid Edge ST3 MP6 on WinXP x64 Insight Server on Win2008 R2 & SQL 2008 R2 x64 SharePoint 3.0 x64

    ST3 CAM relationship query from newbie

    Hello Ken, I agree with you to a certain extent, but the flip option can also be used to change a mate relationship to a planar align relationship. If you have any other “head butting” problems, please don’t hesitate to ask. Regards, Theodore Solid Edge ST3 MP6 on WinXP x64 Insight Server on...

    ST3 CAM relationship query from newbie

    How to upgrade Insight ST1 on SP2 to ST3 on SP3?

    I have used the following program in the past to export and import document libraries. All the metadata was maintained. On a big database it can take a while. http://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/ Solid Edge ST3 MP6 on WinXP x64 Insight Server on Win2008 R2 & SQL 2008 R2 x64 SharePoint 3.0 x64

It might be interesting if you can share some of the issues over time. I might be able to show you a shortcut or two. Solid Edge ST3 MP6 on WinXP x64 Insight...

    Fit command places components under the pathfinder? Any fix for this.

    I am glad you figured it out, I wasn’t sure how I would have explained the blue arrows to dock your pathfinder. If you have any other questions, please ask. I do hope that you give Solid Edge a fair chance. Solid Edge ST3 MP6 on WinXP x64 Insight Server on Win2008 R2 & SQL 2008 R2 x64...
