Hello,
With ST8, you could create a helical curve in a part (step 1). Then place this in asm. Go to XpressRoute. Start a 3D sketch. Use Tools/Peers + '3D include' to "copy" the curve locally. Finally, use the 'tube' command to generate the garden hose. It won't work if you're looking for an...
This type of keypoint (intersection at the tangency point) doesn't allow to be driven by a dimension. You need to add a construction line and connect the dimension to its endpointt at the same location
.
Typically, the dxf output is for 2D CAM treatment. The holes which are on your dimples would be drilled after the part is formed and this drilling operation will be performed by a different machine than the punching machine used to produce the part with the dimples. Unless the holes are punched...
Hi Beachcomber (and others interested),
When you paste your Feat. Lib. into a part, a separate sketch will be added. Just like in the original part.
Using 'From Feat. plane' was an interesting tool for feature library creation in the old versions, but now you really need an independant sketch...
Since 5 or 6 versions (normal then traditional then ordered mode), something changed with feature library: there is a different workflow (with a big dialog box) that makes you select the plane where each profile-based feature is placed. Often, those features have (or could have) their profiles...
I have a good recommandation for ordered feature libraries with more than one profile based feature:
start by doing a sketch that will serve has a base for the profile based features in your feature library group
(it's ok that it won't be possible to integrate it in the group that you copy)...
You need to switch to the 'flat pattern' mode to be able to use the 'flatten' command. Check under 'Tools'.
The red pencil icon has nothing to do with your problem like swertel said. You can disable this in the options. You should had dimensions may be (and also check that 'maintain...
create a backup of your part. Then open in SE, right-click on the last feature and choose 'move to synchronous'.
adjust what you want with dimensions on the solid (you might have to lock some like the diameters dimensions).
If you don't mind loosing your feature tree (synchronous?), here is something you can do:
- create a new ordered part
- 'part copy' (as construction) of the assembly with the chosen scale factor
- save as x_t (options: check construction bodies)
- reopen that x_t file as an assembly
Check that no assembly relationships are failed and that you do not have conflicts in your tree (red lightnings). Fix it by arranging the assembly relationships; this will re-enable the 'drag component' command.

Hi,
just open the template file(s) in Solid Edge (C:/Program Files/Solid Edge V20/Templates). Start the command called 'coordinate system' and choose the 'key-in' option then just accept the different steps without changed and the coordinate system should be created at 0,0,0. Save the template...
