Im using Solid Edge V20 Academic. In Drawing, I'm trying to create a bend by drawing two tangent lines to a circle, then trimming the part of the circle I don't need. This works fine when creating a part. But in Drawing, when I want to trim the circle at the tangent points, it highlights the...
Does anyone know of an issue with Solid Edge freezing, becoming un-responsive when physcally moving (dragging) a part in Assembly? Im using an Academic version of V20. Don't know if its related or not, I recently upgraded my OS from Vista to 7, this wasn't an issue b4 upgrading.
When you click on rotate for example, you see a yellow ball with XYZ pointing arrows appearing. When I click move (moving a part around an axis) and select a part, I get a blue ball with directional pointers on an edge of the part. Why is this? Now when I select a part, everything moves, not...
I've create a solid swept protrusion from a squared cross-section and 2 parallel tangent path lines. However, having created the protrusion, I cannot create a sketch on the surfaces which contain these path lines, only on the cross-section surfaces. If I create the protrusion with only one of...
Having trouble creating an outside thread. Using the thread command on a 0.37 inch diameter, the thread type list is empty. How do I populate this list if the cylinder diameter is set to one in the thread file?
I'm having a problem creating an internal thread. The hole cylinder is 0.4 inches diameter. Accoring to PipeThread.txt, the hole needs to be modelled on an internal minor diameter of .358 inches for a hole size of 0.405 Problem is Solid Edge rounds up to 2 places of decimal. If I set the...
Suddenly, parts are appearing as see-through objects. Not sure what I did, but I can't find how to turn it back to solid parts! Hate when something like this happens, I'm only a beginner with Solid Edge. Can someone help me out here?
When creating a solid part or an assembly, solid edge open with 3 windows, the top has the toolbars, the drawing window and component windows below. Somehow I have lost the component and can't figure out to get it back. Can anyone help with this?
I have created and assembled various parts for a rotary system. On one end I have a part that can be rotated, and is connected by a shaft to another part. I can rotate one part, but the other parts do not rotate with it. While the parts have various assemlby relationships, I can't figure out...
I noticed that Solid Edge has a gear structure element in its library of parts. If you are familiar with the roller gear device on laptops for controlling sound, that's what I would like to create. How would I go about creating this device?
Do I create three seperate bars and merge/blend them together, or do I create a single bar and bend it? Can anyone shed light on how to do either? Whats the best way to achieve this?
