    Solid Edge Standard Parts Database Manager

    Searched previous threads and didn't see an answer anywhere. Is it possible to install the standard parts administrator on two separate workstations? I need to make some modifcations to the property files of hundreds of standard parts, and the database manager seems the best way. -av8errr...

    Re-assigning orgin for hole table

    Is there a way to re-assign the orgin for a hole table? I have tried to click on the orgin step, and I am able to create an X2 and Y2 orgin arrows. However, if I delete the first X1 and Y1 arrows, the table goes blank. Anyone have any luck with this? -av8errr Solid Edge ST3 MP11 HP Z400 W3565...

    Anyone have issues running ST4 on XP?

    We are stuck with Windows XP for 6 months to a year, but would like to get current with ST4. Has anyone run into issues installing/using ST4 on XP that I should be concerned with. Our support "will not address XP operating system related issues, or provide XP-specific fixes." -av8errr Solid...

    Linking cell in excel to file properties of part/draft file.

    I am quite familiar with linking cells in elxel to the variable table, but is there a way to link a cell to file properties within a part file or draft file. For instance, is it possible to link a part number located in a spreadsheet, to the "Title" for the draft property? Also, has anyone come...

    Involute Tooth Geometry Generator

    Does anyone know of a good add on program that will generate involute tooth geometry for solid edge? At this time we are using a gibbs software, and importing it into solid edge. We would like to find something a little less cumbersome. Suggestions? -av8errr Solid Edge ST3 MP5 xw4600 3GB RAM...

    Design Timer...

    Does anyone know of a function either in Solid Edge ST3, or avaliable as an add on that would allow me to keep track of time spent on a document. I have not come across any yet, and an internet search did not prove useful. Thanks in advance, -av8errr Solid Edge ST3 MP5 xw4600 3GB RAM...

    Maintain associativity lost in revolved protrusion...

    I have an assembly which was created in V19. We have since upgraded to ST3. The initial design in "easilly" adapted for other parts, and I have linked most of the dimensions that would change from part to part to a spreadsheet. Upon copying the draft, assy, and all associated files, I have...

    Solid Edge 32 Bit vs. 64 bit...and ST4 Info

    Does anyone know if documents created in 64 bit versions of solid edge are compatible with 32 bit versions (with respect to ST3/4)? Also, anyone come across minimum system requirements for ST4 yet? I know windows 7 in a must, but what memory wise and graphics card could I expect. I have heard...

    Draft File Property....link to Spreadsheet Cell? Possible?

    Hello all, I have a quick question. Is it possible to link a spreadsheet cell to a propert within a draft file? For example, I want the "Title" field link to a cell in a spredsheet that has a part number in it. This would cause any callout referencing what is in the title field to show the...

    I have a u-shaped surface model, (unigraphics .prt) which I am able to translate to a part file. It it possible to convert it to sheet metal, so I can unfold and calculate the blank. I try the convert to syncronous sheet metal command, but it drops the geometry, stating that some components are...

    ST3: Scale of views in Draft...unaval to change with drop down...

    After placing a view in a draft file, I am unable to change the view scale by means of the drop down scale field. It only gives me one option, the default scale at which solid edge has chosen. I can type in a number into the scale view field, and generate a scale that way. (2.0 generates a 2:1...

    Pattern edits in ST3...Syncronous

    I am experimenting with ST3 Syncronous capabilities a bit. I have a test assy file, which consists of two round disks. There is a pattern of 5 holes in the first part, and a matching pattern of 5 holes in the second part. I am struggling with the fact that when I update the location of the...
