I have run into this problem a number of times, but have not figured out what causes it. Often I will have the Shaded with Visible Edges view option selected, but the model shows hidden lines as well, making for a very cluttered and unclear view.
Sometimes toggling certain sketches on or off...
Is anyone aware of a way to print a model to PDF while retaining the visible edges? I have tried two different PDF printers and they both keep the shading but lose the visible edges of the model. Is this a Solid Edge option? I have selected the Shaded with Visible Edges view.
What is the recommended minimum slope in cases where the pipe runs uphill and the condensate must run back against the steam flow? Is there a commonly used relationship based on the steam velocity?
Thanks!
Hi all,
In synchronous mode, after drawing some sketches, placing text, and placing an annotation balloon, faces are no longer selectable. Mousing over most of the model seems like the model is not even there. In some places it lets me select only the whole "Design Body" instead of individual...
Suppose there was a model that looks like a sharpened pencil with an eraser on the other end. How could the cylindrical pencil body be shortened while specifying which end moves in? I have tried to set locked dimensions but haven't had any luck yet. Is it possible to create an anchor point of...
I'm having some difficulty doing some basic operations in ST3, but perhaps it is because I don't understand synchronous mode well enough. Is it possible to hide, suppress, or delete part features after constructing them in synchronous mode, or would I have to be in ordered mode for that?
It seems to me that sketching in ST3 is more difficult than it was in V20. I liked how in V20 when sketching you could quickly and easily select a sketch plane that was coincident, angled, parallel, perpendicular, etc to something. Is there some way to easily start a sketch in ST3 on a plane...
Hi everyone,
Would anyone be able to recommend a good package for routing piping, ductwork, and electrical? I have heard that SolidWorks does not have good ductwork capabilities, but I haven't heard of a better alternative. If anyone has a recommendation, I would greatly appreciate it...
Hi all,
Does anyone here have experience creating interference drawings in SolidWorks? Any pointers? I know SolidWorks tends to be slow when working with large assemblies...
Is there a way to rotate text and other items in place? I want to select all text and rotate it 90 degrees about itself, so that its origin doesn't move. Is this possible?
Thanks!

I'm using Microstation 7 and I'm having trouble plotting in color (I'm new to this program). The preview is black and white and so is the printout, even though I have color printing selected. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!
