    deleted part files

    Go open the old parts and see if they have the new part changes in them.

    External cosmetic threads

    I don't know why but if I have a hole that is threaded it shows up fine in a draft, but if I have an external thread it shows up fine in the model as a simplified thread but has no hidden lines in the draft showing the minor diameter, it just looks like a shaft.

    Change hole call out precision

    Click on the dimension you want to change and near the top a ribbon bar will show a number of things. /the second box from the left should be the precision where you can change to 2 places and second from the right side of the ribbon bar is an X, you can click on that and add a tolerance note.

    making line intersection points visible

    hang out over the first line then over the second then get close to where the intersection should be and SE will find the intersection point.

    Broken-out views

    Right mouse button on the view and select properties, go to the display tab and go to where you see a section check marked and uncheck. If you have other section views you will have to be careful which ones you uncheck.

    I am running V20 and have no problem on most assemblies but for some reason I have one that will not allow me to cut any parts. Has anybody seen this or have any ideas for me?

    Solid bar with bends

    They don't touch at the end points?

    Solid bar with bends

    By leave the selections as they are I mean it should come up with single path single x-section, if not change it to that.

    Solid bar with bends

    You only need 2 sketches, one for the bent centerline and one for the cross section you want at the end of the centerline. Draw your centerline sketch and then at the end of your cl place a plane normal to curve and then draw your xsection on that plane. Start swept protrusion and leave the...

    Solid bar with bends

    If I understand what you mean, I think I would draw a sketch of the bent centerline I want the bar to follow and then do a swept protrusion with the croos section of the bar.

    Translating the Language of Notes Within a .dft File

    I would have to agree with Kenat, copy and paste into a software is probably the only thing you will find. The internet does have some free translation sites (babelfish for one) that you can copy and paste into different languages.

    Solid Edge

    Not sure exactly what you mean, but I would think just doing a sketch on the top plate and then the sketch lines or points drawn 45 degrees to the plate. If you have points then when you do your hole command you should be able to locate them off of the points.

    So in other words it is just a worthless extra file?
