    2D 'Model Space'

    Hi, So I need to produce a drawing that I would traditionally create in model space and then bring across into the paper space as required... I don't seem to be able to do this in SW. Odd. Cheers, M

    Assembly Mating 'Automation' [New to SW]

    Hi, I've made the transition from SolidEdge in my previous company to SolidWorks in my current company and I'm trying to do something that should be quite simple. I've read the manual/tutorials etc, but still hitting a brick wall. To keep it simple, here's what I'm trying to do. Part 1 -...

    Scaling in one direction only...

    Hi, I cannot seem to find how to scale a simple 2D drawing in only one axis. Scale only gives both direction... what am I missing, or is this Working As Designed? Cheers, M

    Stretching part a view...

    Hi, This is maybe a long shot but here goes... I have an item that is 1mm thick. In the past the width of the item is just exaggerated and an line drawn underneath to show this is not to scale. In 3D, everything is modelled to scale, I cannot find a way to make this item wider as we would in...

    Macro Writing... Could somone knock this up?

    Hi, I realise this is a little cheeky, but it's less than a month until I start my new role and I need to get as much done in my present role as possible. Some might ask 'why bother, you're going to a new job?', as it's within the same company I don't want to let them down and do nothing for...

    Modelling BSPT in SE...

    Hi, I'm modelling a plug with a BSPT thread and I have a few questions. I've looked in Kempe's and on the internet for the answers, but so far I've not found any... 1. As BSPT has a taper of 1 in 16... is this, if you are looking at a cross-section, each side or inclusive? 2. In SE you have...

    So what's this new release all about then?

    Hi, Does anyone know what the release of V21 is all about? I've been able to find out very little from our supplier, although we've been invited to a demo in June... The most I've found out is on this reseller site - http://www.solidapps.co.uk/UserGroupMeetings.html which isn't a lot, but to...

    Hi, After reading this thread - http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=211736&page=1 it got me thinking about something that I could apply to my model. It should be easy, but I think I've still got jetlag and my brain is not working properly :( So here goes... I have a circular cutout...

    Surface Texture Symbol Data

    Hi, Is it possible to save out saved styles to a text file... I can only get it to save to the actual drawing file. If I want the same styles across the board I'll have to at present, create and save the styles into each template file. Any thoughts? Cheers, M

    Family of Parts Mass Problem...

    Hi, I've come across a problem with regards to the way in which Family of Parts works. The problem relates to the mass of the created item. - I've created the master part, with a material assigned to it and then updated the mass. - I then created the family of x number of components. Upon...

    %{Mass} - Error: No Reference

    Similar to a recent question... I use in the title block %{mass} to return the mass of the item that's being detailed. However, unless there is a part file that is being detailed the field contains Error: No Reference. Is there a way to get it to display nothing? The reason for this is that not...

    Counterbore Dimension Location

    Hi, Am I doing something wrong here? When entering the information below I then point to a counterbore. If I select the outer circle (spotface) I do not get the counterbore values returned in the text. When I point to the inner circle (through hole) I get the correct result, but to me pointing...

    %{(variable}/@n} Problem

    I guess if you understand the title then you might be able to help me... My aim is to produce the following: '8 - Ø10 EQUI-SPACED ON 135.0 P.C.D.' From the following: %{NUMBER|GP} - %DI%HS EQUI-SPACED ON %{PCD|GP} P.C.D. Where, 'NUMBER' and 'PCD' are values that are exposed in the part...

    Running v19 and v20 along side each other...

    Hi, IT here do not want to install v20 yet, if at all as they fear v21 will be out soon, based on what has gone before I can see their point... It's only 30 seats, but hey who's counting. Is it possible to install v19 and v20 along side each other so we can asses the new features in v20 to see...

    Rubber...

    Hi, I'm needing to model quite a lot of items that are rubber. They have two states, 'free' and 'compressed'. What I'd like is for Solid Edge to have a feature for components like this, where you get two states. Trying to model the items using adjustable parts features is not going to work due...

    Standard Parts Re-organising

    When creating new items to add to the Standard Part database it would be useful if the database files that you get with Solid Edge could be put into a sub category. Any ideas? Cheers, M
