    Renaming part, draft & assembly files

    When I said that I opened each file and renamed it I was using the revision manager. From what I have seen you can open the assembly file and change the name of the parts in the assembly but then you lose your links to the draft files. In the past I changed the names of the parts and went back...

    Renaming part, draft & assembly files

    I have an assembly file with multiple parts and sub-assemblies. The assembly, part & sub-assemblies have draft files linked to them. I would like to rename each part file without losing the links to the draft or assembly files. The names for the draft files need to change to the same name as...

    hole table

    Why not just leave the drawing on the page where you want your hole table. If the drawing has been moved off of your page then it won't be printed out. This way when you go to update the drawing it will automatically update the hole table. The only problem that I see with doing it this way is...

    Does anyone have experience with importing Autocad files?

    When sending out parts to be quoted on I will use the batch file to translate my files from SE draft to .dwg. Have not tried to do a batch translation from .dwg to SE draft. The path to mine is: D:\Program Files\Solid Edge V12\Custom\Batch I know it is late but maybe it will help in the future.

    I think that you are looking for a way to fill in your title blocks and/or other areas of your drafts automatically. If this is the case then go to your Callout button and click on it, then click on the properties tab at the top. On the callout properties box that pops up there is a button...

    Call-Out Properties Box- Control Character definitions (DRAFT file)

    In the Properties dialog box, special characters can be displayed with the use of Control Character combinations, ex: %DI diplays the Diameter symbol. What Control Character combination results in a Line Feed or Carriage Return? Also, is there a table that lists all the available codes?

    Number of Holes

    Go to the hole table properties and then to the columns tab and there is a list of items that you can add to or take away from your hole table and one of them is count. This will give you your number of holes. Going one step further you can click on the list tab you can list the holes by size...

    Number of Holes

    Under the Tools menu go to Dimension and then click on hole table. This is not automatic but it should get done what you want. The table can be modified and saved with your preferred settings. The hole table could also be saved on your draft template. Doing this would take only 5 clicks of...
