    (Un)define element size "on Curve"

    I'm sorry, but thats not correct. It seems the mesh size definition on curves, is somehow part of the geometry (you don't see it if you turn Curves view off). I have found out that copying the original geometry, and replacing it with the copy, might be the only way...

    (Un)define element size "on Curve"

    Hi all, When needed one can adjust the element size along a given curve. The software puts small dots along the selected curve, indicating the (local) mesh size. So far so good. But sometimes one needs to un-do this action. And if the command has been issued way back in modeling history (or...

    I-DEAS-like wireframe

    Hi, I recently installed Solid Edge 'cause I-DEAS is sort of "dieing", but run into a problem. In I-DEAS I was used to make coplex wireframes, constrain them and create a section from the wireframe which manytimes didn't include all the curves. For instance, lets assume you want to make a slot...

    SDRC ANIMATION MOVIE

    I once was crazy enough to make an animation of 50 frames and screen capture every single frame, take it to Photoshop, save it as .tga, and then used the RAM player in 3DS Max to make a movie file from my image file sequence. Needless to say, not a very efficient way to do this. Currently I'm...

    Share data on model file

    Hi, I have one instalation of I-DEAS on my laptop and a second on on a workstation. Is there a way to 'synchronise' the data of the two machines? I work on the same project and want to have the possibility to continue work at home (on the workstation). Any recommendations?

    I-DEAS --> 3DS Max

    Thank you for your help, but there is one small thing that I don't quite understand. How do you make STL files in I-DEAS. The only options I have are: .set, .igs, .stp, .xml, .prt, .wrl and such. Any comments?

    I-DEAS --> 3DS Max

    Hi, one question, if I may: Do you know of a way to import 3d geometry (solids) from I-DEAS to 3DS Max WITHOUT suffering in resolution? What I experience now is that a perfectly smooth solid in I-DEAS with all kinds of contours and shapes, when taken in 3DS it gets full of 'jaggies' and...

    UG and I-DEAS on the same machine?

    I'm using Unigraphics NX 2 and I-DEAS NX on the same machine. The problem is that everytime I want to use either of the two I have to stop the license server service (FlexLm), make changes to the paths regarding the license file and "lmgd.exe" and then restart the service. I read in the FlexLm...

    Excel 2003 in UG NX 2

    Hi, I'm using Unigraphics NX 2 and encounter the following problem: when I want to use a spreadsheet in UG I get an error message telling me that I have the wrong version of Excel. I can imagine that because I have Office 2003 installed, but is there a workaround? WinXP SP1, p4 @ 3.2 GHz...
