Changing the default 'Author' of a part

[MatthewLyons]

Hi guys.

I'm switching computers and giving my current one to another guy in the office. When my computer account was made, it was MEXX. Solid Edge was set up as MEXX. In a new part file, the Author is saved as MEXX. I want it to say BRAD.

I have changed the windows login name to BRAD and the User Account settings all say BRAD. Computer description is BRAD. I have re-installed Solid Edge and done everything in setup as BRAD. I have checked the registry owner and it says BRAD. Every single thing I can think of is now called BRAD. But when I make a new part, it calls it MEXX! Where is it pulling this name from???

I don't care about making it a custom one or anything like that, I just want it to pull the name from wherever it pulls it from and make the necessary adjustments so it works!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Matt

I believe Author is a Windows property so when a new file is created it assigns the Windows login name of whomever is writing the file. If logged into a network, that login should be the one that it is using.
