I am hoping that this subject may stike up some interesting comments.
We have specified new workstations that will have a graphics card that is able to run dual monitors.
The budget included two monitors but unfortunately higher management (& input from others) over-ruled this and elected to...
We have been getting recent requests from our casting suppliers to provide them with our 3D body casting models so that they can design the pattern.
In order that we keep the design intent of our models within our company, the best method is to supply a dummy model. Our preference on this...
Gentlemen,
Thank you for your reply, much appreciated.
I have looked into this and it does seem that way.
As mentioned by beachcomer, the view configurations are to show/hide parts. This is found under the home tab when creating the assembly.
Secondly, to create configurations with different...
We have created a sub-assembly showing the internals of a valve. What we would like to see is the open and closed positon of the "plug".
At the moment the method used is supressing/unsupressing the relationships. Using configurations is an alternative option which can be shown in the draft...
donyoung,
Thanks for pointing me to this download.
Although you are not able view on screen first when using this application, the prints are 100% better. Lets hope I can convince the non SE users who will need this to print of our drawings!
Happy Days....BW

We have been running Solid Edge ST now for two months and we are getting problems with SE Viewer.
1. The annotation is not displayed as shown when looking at the .dft file through Solid Edge e.g. the text is "wrapped"
2. The line font is poor quality when printing through viewer (dashed...
Hi Cadman1964,
It would be interesting to see how you could help us on this. Leave me some contact details perhaps.
Notice you are using Solid Edge v20, which could be tricky as we are using ST now (but in traditional mode). There will be ways around this I am sure.
Thanks for your...
beachcomber,
That suggestion is fine if there is a low number of holes going around on the same pcd.
However, when there is a variation of holes sizes at different pitches then this can be confusing when shown as a hidden detail.
Thank you for your input...Brian

Guys,
Here's the problem...
We currently manufacture cages for control valves. These can be a simple machined tube (o/d x i/d x height) with a number of holes drilled through around the circumference of the cage e.g. 5 lines x 8 rows = 40 holes at 4.5mm dia.
To model the cage is straight...
People,
Someone in our office has raised the question regarding the conversion of an assembly file into STEP file.
When our manufacturing department requests a "dummy" model of a machined/fabricated assembly in order to create their program (CAD/CAM) they request a STEP file of the assembly...
Guys,
I have looked through various threads but yet to find a solution. Here's my question....
I have created a family of parts for a simple baffle plate. One of the variables is the outside diameter of which requires a limit (e.g. 9.725"/9.720"). The part model is created on the mean of the...
Guys,
This is my first introduction to this forum so firstly I hope that my question is a valid one.
I have started using Solid Edge v20 for a while now and begining to feel comfortable with the package until I came across the surfacing side.
My question is, I would like to know if there is...
Hi All,
This is my very 1st posting on this forum so I hope I have explained this clearly for this particular question.
We are currently looking for an alternative viewer to edrawings whereby our associates can not only view SW models but are able to export them into variable formats e.g...
I have an assembly which invovles using a length of shape memory alloy (SMA) wire which is wrapped around a selection of pins. The length may adjust but I need to show this in the model. Any advice??
Currently using UG v18
