    variable table ST2

    Hi, you're working in Sync(hronous) mode, do you? when that's the case all dimensions are by default 'variable' or driven in terms of V20 (or trad(itional) mode and thus are greyed out. You must select the value of a dimension and then press the lock symbol on the pop-up. Now the dim is fixed...

    Insert area surface of sheet metal in "draft"

    you're welcome. I've forgotten to mention: hold down the CTRL key while selecting the faces so that the command will add them. dy

    Insert area surface of sheet metal in "draft"

    /Edit the area value is based on the flattened model. When that's not possible I've no idea other then to write a small program that calculates the area and sets a custom variable dy

    Insert area surface of sheet metal in "draft"

    Hi, you could use the Area command (bottommost on Inspect) in draft. But do it while 'Draw in view' otherwise the scale will get factored in. The hatching can be moved to the layer 'Auto hide' so that it won't show up. See attached files (V20)...

    Solid Edge Limitation

    /Edit one option will work when using two pathes: - select function 'parallel plane' (from the toolbar) - select for example the y/z plane - move it to your model and move the mouse on the bottom edge or one of the vertical edges and move the mouse to the end of that line until it picks the...

    Insert area surface of sheet metal in "draft"

    Hi, I'm unable to open your .docx. Am I right that you would like to show a (construction) surface in your draft? When this is the case in draft - select the view - RMB --> properties - tab Display there on top 2nd row, 3rd button from left (Parts Lists Options) - select List Constructions...

    Solid Edge Limitation

    Hi, you should have mentioned that you're using an academic license. Files created with such a license can only be opened by someone you runs SE with an academic license. The other way round it works. For a sweep with two pathes it seems to be a limitation (or it's bug). Even in ST2 you can't...

    Outside thread

    Hi, when the list is empty it indicates that no matching thread within hole.txt is found. Either you add that thread to the holes.txt or change the diameter which has to be done to solve you problem: the correct diameter is 0.375 and the list will show a couple of suitable treads dy

    Threadtext.txt for internal threads

    Hi, I've no problem with that. Setting the hole diameter to 0.358" then only the display will show 0.36". Dimension the hole and it will show 0.358". Now using the thread function it will show 1/8-27 NPSM. But why can't you use the hole function for this, is the hole already created and only...

    'Edit Properties' button in 2D model sheet

    BC, when you add this function to the QAT while the working sheet is active it will be available also when switching to 'draw in view' Switching to the 2D-Model sheet then you have to add it once more. (ST2/MP2). In ST1 (MP5) it must be added to the QAT for each environment and it did work...

    Broken-out views

    I think you want to get rid of the 'Broken out' rather than the section view then - RMB on the view that contains the broekn out - select properties - tab --> General - checkmark 'Show broken out section view' - OK now the broken out view boundry will show up and can be deleted or modified di

    Installation Problems with Solid Edge 2D Drafting ST2: file not found

    Hi, that's seems then to be a packing error with ST2/2D. The full version installs .Net V3.5 SP1 automatically; so I did not mention this. dy

    Installation Problems with Solid Edge 2D Drafting ST2: file not found

    do you carry out the installation while logged-in as Admin, user admin rights is not sufficient. Any virus protection software active that might 'quarantine' those files? Also the firewall can make trouble. dy

    Text Profile cutout not updating in draft file.

    tested it with ST1/Mp5 -- nothing it does work as it should In MP4 a PR is listed that seems to point in that direction: PR 1628650: Updating drawing views does not update the model display dy

    Missing Commands

    Aah, that's a different 'beast': ST1-Sync has no Threading --> implemented in ST2 BlueDot is not available neither in ST1-Sync nor in ST2-Sync (maybe in ST3 or it's of no use in sync, don't know) ThinWall specifies the Option on the QuickBar: OpenFaces and add/remove faces not more.
