    AutoCAD to SE?

    Is there a way I can transfer a profile drawn in AutoCAD v2004 to SE v15 to be protruded?

    Different bends in sheetmetal

    Is there a way to put bends with different radii on the same contour flange? I drew the side profile, which is similar to a "z". I need one of the bends to be R0.05 and the other to be R0.11. So far, they both default to the set value, but I want to be able to set each one separately. I'm...

    Creating STL (rapid prototype) files

    I need to rapid prototype parts I created in Solid Edge (V15) but the ASM parts that I created won't work. The rapid prototyping software separates the pieces of the assembly even though I need them to stay merged together. I tried saving them as IGS or STP files, but it doesn't help. I see...

    Putting in reinforcements in sheet metal

    I have a sheet metal part with a few bends that I would like to have reinforced with offset bracing stamped into the bends. Essentially, it would be like taking a wide and flat tool and offsetting the material perpendicular to the bend. Is there a simple way to model this?

    Dynamic zoom and pan in draft mode

    Is there a way to set the mouse wheel and button to pan and zoom on the screen for draft mode the same way as in modeling mode?

    Offsetting a section in sheetmetal

    I've created a short cylindrical part using SE v15 sheetmetal with one end having a lipped edge that's bent in towards the central axis. On this lipped edge, there are several tabs also in the same direction. I created this part by using a circular dimple on a circular flange and then cut out...

    Using draft

    I'm trying to familarize myself with the draft feature of SE v15. I also use AutoCAD 2004, which is where the 2D drawings will end up. What I'm currently doing is saving the draft as a DWG file and copying the views into the ACAD 2004 template I already have set up. The only thing I can't...

    Unit precision

    Is there a way to increase the precision / decimal place of the system? Its default right now is 0.000 and I would like to get it to at least four places (0.0000). Solid Edge v15

    Positioning in Assembly

    I can't get components exactly where I need them in the assembly. I tried using the move/rotate/freeform move function, but it seems to limit movement to a single axis. It would be great if I had unconstrained movement on all three axes so I can precisely position/rotate the components. Am I...
