The file has to be saved as a .pcf file (packaged collaboration file) with the paid version View and Markup. The paid version is included as part of the solid edge install. The free viewer only has viewing capability. I believe the free viewer can do what you are asking, but only if it opens a...
Thanks Bruce. Yes, our VAR said they were going to contact someone from Siemens, so I am expecting a pretty high price. They don't seem to have any inside capability for Insight implementation. I definitely agree with you though, that I would be more willing to pay for implementation help than...
Appreciate the responses Bruce.
Well I had the call this morning between myself, our VAR (Acuity Solutions, Inc.), and our IT tech and it is looking very optimistic as far as hardware is concerned. Just some minor upgrades are needed for everything that we need.
I have a quote request through...
Thanks, bshand. That would be the plan. Only put new/current projects in the database and leave the legacy ones alone. Will move legacy project folders as deemed necessary. I am in the process of setting up a conference call between Siemens, our IT guy, and myself.
Do you have any information...
I have been looking into Insight recently and am seriously considering pitching this to management. We already have all of the necessary tools to accomplish this, so the only cost should be the labor involved with implementation and cleaning up CAD data.
We have:
Windows Server 2008 R2

I'm pretty sure we have a SQL server. We are in the process of transferring all of our data to it, as well as creating more manageable ECO forms. Moving away from paper you could say. I will look into. Thank you swertel and bshand for your enlightening responses.
Thanks, totally agree. I prefer a sequential numbering system as well. At my previous company they probably still use the project based number prefix as you have described. However, once we implemented PDM, it didn't matter anymore because there could only be one copy of the file in the...
If you are just adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying, etc. a constant number, you can single click on the dimension to bring up the value change box. Then delete the units, then do whatever operation (with a number) you want. However, if you need it related to variable, then you have to...
^^ Creating a custom property would be a good workaround method here.
The only other way I could think of is put in the view as KENAT mentioned, but don't delete it, put it on a hidden layer. This way it can stay in the drawing. This will be a good indicator if you go to do another drawing...
Thank you for all of your input. We specifically deal with multiple product lines of different pumps. Our file naming system consists of "RANDOMPART#_REV_DESCRIPTION". We revision by doing a "File-Save As" of a released revision. We locate files by using the directory shown on the released...
Searched a little and found a few threads, but nothing really specific to this situation. How are your SE files organized?
We are currently in an unmanaged environment. Our workflow is that once something is released to production, all corresponding part files, assembly files, and drawings are...
To show it in the part, you will have to create a custom face style from a custom image or from the existing solid edge textures. You then use part painter to apply this style to the face.
As for showing this appearance automatically with a callout, I don't believe this is possible. You can...
