handleman, I guess we have a different definition of what API is ;-)
I can live with a couple of formulas to define a custom property. Your method is what I will use. I call this basic parametric design.
API, to me, is knowing C++ or VB and coding an app to get what I need. THAT was out of...
OK, I guess I'm stuck with putting 4 digits to work on the model, then revert to 0 digit when I exit the model so the drawing displays a round-off value for the mass. Or go with API...
Thanks for the support!
I tried cut / paste. When I paste (either with CTRL+V or menu -> Edit -> Paste), I get a dialog box "This item can not be pasted here". That seems to be the first time only. I was successful with the Right-click contextual menu "Paste", then CTRL+V works as expected for the rest of the...
CTRL-X / CTRL-V doesn't work. When I CTRL-X the view, I get the "Delete View" dialog box. Even when I CTRL-C / CTRL-V, the paste step doesn't work.
I was able to do it with Drag & Drop in the view manager. The parent link seems to remain since I'm able to "Jump to Parent View" from a page to...
Can someone post a screenshot showing the exact location where they are controlling the Mass precision? There is something I think I'm missing...
In the Evaluate -> Mass Properties -> Options : I can only control the length precision. There are no dropbox next to the mass.
In the Tools ->...
Newbie question here... In a drawing, I create multiple section, auxiliary and detail views.
Is there a way to move the resultant view to another page? I want the parent/child link to stay alive but I just don't have enough space on the first page to show everything.
So it's Parent view...
I browsed over here and couldn't find anything related.
In a drawing, I'm extracting a custom property from the part level, "MASS", which is derived for the SW file property.
Is there a way to control the Mass units' precision? I looked in Document Property (both the part and the drawing) and...
@Matt : I agree, something that simple should be really straight forward. Solid Edge does it with a similar command to the Hole wizard. It recognize the cylinder diameter and matches (via an editable TXT file) a thread definition. Adds a thread texture in shaded view and standard thread...
Thanks James,
A manual update is not what I was looking for, in 2011!
Actually, I just found the answer while poking around. I right-clicked on the thin line which represents the cosmetic thread, and there was the "Insert Callout" command in the contextual menu.
Seems to WAE...I changed the...
Hi,
8 years Solid Edge power user here, trying to stop the maddenning process... ;-) I use SW2011 64bit on Win7-64.
I created a simple rod, 1.25" OD x 36" long. I used a "Cosmetic Thread" on the feature to define it as 1-1/4" - NF thread.
Now, I show the part in a drawing. The cosmetic...
