I want to programatically select two faces by their name (which are prenamed, so I know the name) and mate the two faces. I am having big trouble programmatically selecting these faces. All examples have a precondition that the objects are preselected. SelectByID2 doesn't seem to pick the...
I am trying to select two cylindrical surfaces to axial mate. These surfaces have know names and I want to select these faces by their name. I try "swmodel.Extension.SelectByID2("A", "FACE", 0, 0, 0, True, 0, Nothing, 0)", but it selects some random face. Any help would be great. I am a beginner!
I am having the hardest time getting anyone to respond on any forum about captured fits. Does anyone know how to programmatically set a geometry type of a part file to be used in capture fit. i can see using solid edge spy that my document (a nut) has a 'capturerelationshipcount' of 1, and a...
I am trying to add my fasteners to the standard parts library, and not all of my fasteners have a captured fit. Is there a way to capture fit the parent and pass it to the child, or any way to automate the process rather than insert each into an assy.
I am heading up a project to get all our purchase item component models into the library. We will be doing this on an ST box offline. I plan to copy all the files and start sticking them into the standard parts library, as well as update all missing props and inserting some new ones. Once this...
I have been given the task of quieting a vacuum drum on a machine. It's a rotating drum with a pattern of holes covering the entire drum. It rotates around a shaft with a slot in it. Attached is a vacuum pump. This drum sucks and as it rotates advances paper downstream. The sound is very...
I am trying to make a feature for a snap ring groove. I'd like to be able to insert a library feature tht will have a formula that checks that my shaft diameter is say if equal to .500", then it'll make my groove diameter A and with B. Any hints on this?
Hello,
I want to extract my file properties to a spread sheet. I found some code below, but I believe it needs some tweeking. I am no programmer, that's for sure. Can anyone take a crack at this thing, and make it work as a macro for excel?

How do you extract...
I can only seem to get my PMI dimensions to show up in my model view that I intsert into the draft. But I want the annotations(CALL OUT) to go to. Any clues, or does SE only bring in dims into the draft environment.
In solid works there is a tool called "task scheduler" that give you several batch jobs. Imports, exports, printing, update custom properties, and create drawings. i am looking for a way to create a batch of 2D drawings. Are there any such tools in solid edge, or available for solid edge.
Anyone heard of a hydraulic damper or any damper that is capable of decelerating small loads (30-75lbs) in about(.015-.030") of travel. I have a high speed application where a roller on a spring loaded pivot cylces up and down. Up and down of varying strokes. .010" - .030". I need some thing...

I have seen mention of custom properties like
"SE_ASSEMBLEY_QUANTITY_OVERRIDE". This looks like its from a solidedge standard list or something. Is there a list or table some where that tells you to string the values SE and ASSEMBLEY AND QUANTITY AND OVERRIDE together for a desired effect...
How can I make the "length" variable I made on an adjustable part override the quantity variable in the occurrence property "quantity" column. I want the "length" of the product shown as the quantity instead.
