    What are your go-to ways and settings for creating and/or modifying 2D prints in SW?

    Autodesk has them beat with forcing their entire software offering to "Named User" subscription, but I think Dassault is working that way too with the 3D Experience push. FYI, if you need a good AutoCAD like clone that seem to outperforms AutoCAD in many areas, I have found BricsCAD to be an...

    What are your go-to ways and settings for creating and/or modifying 2D prints in SW?

    Does SolidWorks still include a license for DraftSight? That was the AutoCAD clone they supplied to close the gap with DWG files. Wasn't great for large DWG's like pant layouts, but worked well for stuff like you are talking about. Have you checked out the Solid Edge Community site...

    SolidEdge 2020 Installation

    If you did have maintenance and received SE 2020, then you were e-mailed a license for it when it was released. If you had it installed and were using it before uninstalling it, then you had the license. Find the e-mail with the license or find it in the storage location you saved it to for...

    SolidEdge 2020 Drafting proble with 3D Mouse

    If you have the "Free 2D Drafting" license of Solid Edge, then the 3Dconnexion add-in will not work as the Solid Edge API it needs to interface with is not active in that license. You would need to be using a paid license to get the active API. Have you checked out the Solid Edge Community...

    Default Template Options

    I believe that many releases ago these saved defaults where stored in the files, but now they are stored in the custom.xml file and they cannot be stored in the template. The intent of the Custom.xml file is that it can be stored on a network share and referenced by all users by changing the...

    exporting to step file...issue with solid bodies

    What KENAT is referring to is when an assembly had two parts that would not form a single solid because a "zero thickness non-manifold" solid would result, the Insert Part Copy would fail. Since then, things have changed as of ST5 and part files now support multi-body so that failure no longer...

    Solid Edge V20 Convert Surface to Solid

    That's too bad your not on maintenance anymore. ST7 is awesome. Also, not sure if you are aware, but the old forums that were for maintenance paying customers are no more. The new Community site doesn't require you to be on maintenance to participate. Ken G. http://grundey.blogspot.com Have...

    exporting to step file...issue with solid bodies

    If the SE models are surfaces, you may still see them in SE but they will not save out using the default STEP settings. You would need to change the options to include surfaces. Ken G. http://grundey.blogspot.com Have you checked out the Solid Edge Community site...

    Solid Edge ST6 test

    There is a big difference between "Move Components" (and "Steering Wheel" move) and "Drag Components". Move Components will make the move and violate any constraints to accomplish this. It is an assembly build tool used to construct the assembly. The Steering Wheel move also does this, but I...

    making camera views in animations (solid edge ST6)

    I have not used this a lot, and when I did, it seemed that it was difficult to get what I wanted. Hope you get a useful answer to this as I would be interested in hearing it too. You may also try asking this on the Solid Edge Community site... Ken G. http://grundey.blogspot.com Have you...
