    Hole Counting

    mdrummond, you can always make the count variable exposed in the variable table and reference it in your callout... should look something like %{VariableName|Assembly.asm:Part.par} Sorry if this is not complete... I seem to be in a hurry today... Cheers, Martin

    Custom Macro Creation

    Well Happy Birthday Beachcomber!! Another year of widsdom and knowledge to put under the ol' belt. Thanks to all for your responses! That PDF is sure to come in handy, even if it's just for reference. I was thinking of using the new Express 2008. I'm guessing it's just more up-to-date than...

    SE New technology

    w00t! Solid Edge ST has been released! Thought it would be a good idea to bring back this thread... For all of you who have a maintenance key, it's available for download of the GTAC site. Cheers, Martin

    Custom Macro Creation

    Hey Gang, Wanted to know if anybody has experience in Macro creation? What I'm looking for right now is the required language (I'm guessing VB or VB.NET?), a good compiler and the possibility of finding a catalog of functions or even tutorials if they exist. As always, your help is much...

    Accessing Table Info

    mdrummond, see the post I just wrote for your other question, it should be able to clarify.

    Variable formula

    I was afraid you were going to say that. In this example I'll make reference to a simple tube where my length will impact the OD and ID, but you can change it to whatever you like. I'll assume you know how to go into your variables table and play around with it a bit. Remember to save your work...

    Variable formula

    mdrummond, There are a couple of options depending on the "size" of your catalog. Option 1 - Good if you have a small number of possibilities You can link the variable using statements in the variables table. This is good if you have say 2 or 3 possible dimensions. Option 2 - Good if you have...

    I'm new Solid Edge

    Normand, Actually no. Born and raised Franco-Ontarien (term used to describe someone from a French-Ontario (Canada) background). Sebastian7, I have to agree with Kenat and Gemnoc on this one. There's this site, the SolidEdge tutorials and help files, and the videos you found are not too...

    I'm new Solid Edge

    Gemnoc, Sa fait plaisir! A little off topic: are you fluent french? If so, where from? Indeed, you might need a few more clicks to get what you want, but if it saves you time of searching where such or such a function is, then good on them. I know that it was much easier to teach my folks...

    I'm new Solid Edge

    Sabastian7, Welcome to Eng-Tips and to the world of SE! IMHO, tick-tock until SE with ST. Learning how to use v20 at this point in time is a catch-22. You need it to use Solid Edge right now, but in a couple weeks (knock on wood) you'll need to go through the learning curve again (maybe not...

    Missing reference planes in family of parts

    Viper01, Donyoung was making a joke... "It's not a flaw, it's a feature" laughs at the fact that most times companies will not remove some flaws in their programs, and sometimes even "include" them as features. Non-computer related example: Car company X makes a car Y. Due to limiting factors...

    Drawing view tracker issue

    Right, so you go Tools --> Dimensions --> Track Dimension Changes (as I've said before) and then click on Clear All (wich I thought you already knew how to do... left-most button on the top bar). My bad, I thought it was clear enough... I'll try to be more thorough next time. WARNING: if any...

    Drawing view tracker issue

    FC2008, Look under Tools --> Dimensions --> Track Dimension Changes. Cheers, Martin

    Solid Edge crashing laptop - display driver issues??

    JonGD, This is not an answer to your question, just a more general comment. If you read the Readme.txt of many graphic intensive software (Games, 3D-Cad, etc.), there's a list of supported graphics card, and most of the time there's a warning that although these cards are supported, their...

    How do I edit a profile within an assembly?

    Gareth, RMB stands for Right Mouse Button. Cheers, Martin

    Parametrics

    hardstyler, When I started writing this reply, I would've said no, but I dug a little further and I now believe it is possible. The procedure is actually quite simple; create a sketch in your assembly, and inside your sketch, draw your pattern. Save the sketch. Use the Pattern Parts command...

    Underline Block Labels

    Thus why I was asking this question. Thanks anyways! Martin

    Underline Block Labels

    Right, but what about underlining? Question wasn't about individual formatting, it was about the availibility to underline text in a block label or a callout.

    Modify/Add Special Charaters in Callouts?

    Thanks! Now, is there a way to have this symbol in a callout? Personally I can't stand the textbox and would rather use the callouts... if all else fails, I might not have a choice... Martin
