    ST2: Relationship colors keeps turning itself off

    Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? Its not hard to turn them back on (why aren't they ALWAYS on anyway?), but its annoying as hell.

    File "cannot be saved"

    I appear to be having a problem similar to this thread: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=142229 I was editing a draft file, and just received this message: http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/ProDarwin/?action=view&current=error.jpg (Can I embed images into my posts?) I've tried...

    Animation help!

    I need to make an animation of one of my designs for an upcoming visit here. I have some experience with this, but I can't seem to figure out how to hide/display different components during an animation. I'd like to show my assembly coming together piece by piece... any help would be much...

    Femap Express Analysis Help

    I'm trying to analyze a weldment with Femap Express. I have two questions: 1. I've been saving the weldment and a parasolid then re-importing it as a single part. Is there a way around this? Perhaps the full version of Femap? Does it let you analyze assemblies? If so, how much does that...

    Relocate Reference Planes?

    If I bring in a part as a .step, the reference planes are located off to the side. Is there a way to reposition them in the center of the part? Is there a way to create a second set of reference planes?

    Flattening a rolled part - incorrect flat dimension?

    So I have a part that for all intensive purposes is just a 4.875" tube rolled from 0.063 5052 Aluminum. When I flatten this in solid edge (its drawn as a contour flange with a 0.001 break in it), the flat measures 15.049. The flat *should* measure 15.117. 4.875-0.063 (neutral axis) * 3.14159...

    Modifying a released part

    Where I work generally a part is "released" in the Solid Edge system at the same time it is released for production. I've been doing a structural analysis on an assembly, but I need to find the CG. When viewing physical properties, there are about 70 parts that were released with undefined...

    Manually add an item to parts list?

    This has probably been asked before, but my searches are coming up short. Is there a way to manually add an item to the Solid Edge parts list without: A) creating the item in the assembly, or B) converting the parts list to text and adding another row? The parts lists I use include...

    Linking from Solid Edge to Excel (reverse of normal)

    I'm having a problem linking from Solid Edge to Excel. I can "Paste Link" just fine and make my Solid Edge data show up in Excel, however I can't get the formatting correct. For example, if I link a dimension variable from Solid Edge to Excel, Excel will display the dimension as "10 in". This...
