Hi all, I am wondering if it is possible to move a part of a sub assembly to the main assembly without having to basically start from scratch. For instance if a brass bushing was added in the sub assembly when it should have been assembled in the final assembly, is there a way to drag it into...

thanks for the info!

Is there a way to open a draft of an assembly by right-clicking or some other way instead of just going to open and finding the draft. For instance in SolidWorks if you right-click on a part or assembly it gives you the option to open the drawing from th menu. thanks!

Got it! use the "distance between" dimension, select the first point, then select "By 2 Points" in the option box.

Hi all, I am trying to get ST2 to add a dimension relative to a part, but it keeps going horizontal or vertical. Any ideas on how this could be done? I attached a sketch up of what I am trying to do and what how the dimension currently sits. Thanks! Joel

Is it possible to do a Broken Out Section View when the source view is an iso view? I have tried repeatedly and am having no luck. I brought in a new front view and it worked fine but will not work on an iso view on my computer. Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of ST2? Thanks...

Ok, I figured it out. Apparently in my lack of experience with Solid Edge I created a simplified assembly. I uncheck the simplified assembly box and it came in. Thanks for your help, and sorry I am a big dummy. lol...

The weldment is roughly 686.67 LBM. I changed the formula but it still did not work.

It shows 0.0

I deleted the custom property from the properties box but it still does not show the weight on the drawing. I double checked the drawing and it does have the correct formula. I am not sure what is going on with it.

Hi All, I am trying to display the total weight of my assembly on a draft but I cannot get the mass to show up with anything but 0.0LBM. I have went into the assembly properties and used %{Mass|R1}as the Name and 0.28298507824 lbm/in^3 as the Value. Am I doing something wrong? All of my parts...

Thanks all. I am not sure what I did the first time but it now works.

Parasolid worked perfectly for the conversion. Thanks again for your help! You are my Solid Edge Master!! lol...

Sounds great and I thank you for your help. I take no offense to the statement as I am just learning and have a long way to go :)

I did a test with saving the assembly out as a parasolid and then imported it back into Solid Edge. I selected an assembly and then it created all of the parts as well as the assembly. is this the corect way to do it?

it needs to be opened in Inventor when saved out. And it needs to be an assembly when it imported into Inventor instead of one massive solid.

Hi All, I am looking to take a large assembly and export it as an IGES file, but also it needs to export out each individual part of the assembly. Cna this be done? Thanks! Joel

Thanks beachcomber! So if I wanted to animate the cylinder cycling in the assembly, would this type of alternating position work for that purpose? Thanks! Joel

Also, when I create the adjustable position and then go back into the assembly it sometimes grays out the member box so I cannot change the position. Am I doing something wrong when setting these positions up? I have the "Apply edits to all members" box selected.

Hi All, I have a model of cylinder with a family of assemblies to adjust the position of the rod end position. I inserted this assembly into another assembly and now want to change the position of the rod end. Can this be accomplished since the family of assemblies is within the cylinder...
