Finally, I found the 2D Model and Detail buttons under the Tables tab at the top. So I can use these now but when transferring the view to the working sheet I have trouble controlling the scale.
I am going to make hybrid drawings from S.E and by hand because too much time being lost with S.E...
File for 2D Model is attached. Sheet 1 is blank. Bedframe-looking assembly has correct dimensions. Parts to the right do not, e.g., channel section is 3 in wide by 1.5 in deep. ( These parts are not yet on the...
When I go back to Sheet 1 I cannot find the "Sketching tab" nor of course the subset "Drawing views". When I click the bottom tab and go back to 2D Model I do not get the "cross-wire" cursor. I tried to copy and paste back to the Sheet 1 but it does not work.
Also, when I try to add dimensions...
Thanks for that input but that tutorial is not included with the version I have-"Solid Edge 2D Drafting ST3-Draft" It does not appear to have the features covered by that tutorial either. Also, the Help contents seem to go with a more complete version of the software than the one I have.
I drew on the Model view but cannot achieve an independent scale for the part. Also, on the working sheet I cannot correlate the assembly drawing to the sheet size (legal size). The sheet appears as a small rectangle superimposed on the drawing. It cannot be manipulated and that is all that will...
Sorry, that doesn't help. My ST3 version (2D) has 3 tutorials: one for making electrical schematics, one for using the calculation features and one for creating 2D drawings. Since I am drawing a mechanical contraption, I did the last one and it does not cover the manipulation of drawing views...
