    Custom Properties / Callouts

    something else I should ask, Is this possible to do with Teamcenter Express forms? i.e. can I populate information in a form on TCx and have it populate the drawing border from a callout?

    Custom Properties / Callouts

    Hey guys, If I create a customer property, in this instance called 'SITE' and fill it using info from the propseed file, I'd like to fill it with something that looks like this: 'ABC blahblahblah' Then on the drawing border I'd like to have a callout which gives the 'SITE' variable, but only...

    Tips for robust sketches

    Ok, a few others.... use 'A' and 'L' to swap between an arc and a line for quicker sketching. V20 - 'm' will jump to midsection, 'i' to the intersection, 'e' to the end and 'c' to the centrepoint. smart dimension - using a or shift will toggle dimension types.

    Tips for robust sketches

    I'd recommend a few simple things which may not be turned on automatically - Sketch Relationship Colours (on one of the drop down menus) so you can see when you've fully constrained a profile. and 'Indicate under-constrained profiles in the edge bar' (under the tools/options)

    Free SE Drafting.

    The other 'niggle' I have with the Free package is that it can't be installed on the same machine as a viewer or express reviewer. So those who want to produce sketches/autocad style drawings, can do so, but they can't look at a 3D model...

    how to uninstall/install Solid Edge V.18 ??

    If you don't have any other UGS products installed, go to regedit and delete all entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unigraphics That should allow you to re-install Edge... Simon.

    logos on cylinder

    The only way I've found is to save the logo as a texture, set up a style, apply that texture (make sure that textures are turned on!) Hope that helps Simon L

    I'm might be misinterpreting the question, but if you hold CTRL+ALT and then drag the leader line, will that do as you wish? Simon

    Teamcenter Express

    Scott, have you tried, with or without success to save a Solid Edge Draft file as a different file format, say DWG. I've opened it from TCx but when I change the file type on the save as dialog, all the options disappear and I can't seem to save it as any thing other than a dft. :s
