    How do you create a round (radius) along part of an edge

    Hi, we are trying to create a radius on an edge, but want it to stop half-way along it. We can think up long-winded ways of doing it, but someone may know an easy method and make us look silly!!?? Thanks in advance for your response Andrew.

It happened as follows:- 1. using revision manager, an assembly was opened and the 'where used' found what models and draft drawings were used in it. 2.Some parts were...

    Managed Libraries

    Revision control of assys-parts-dfts -previous threads

    Just started using SE v19. I'm a little worried about revision control between drawing types. For example:- A300-014-002 (assembly drawing with the issue number at -002) P300-035-004 (a piece part in the above assembly BOM at revision -004) The draft drawing would be the same as the piece...
