Has anyone worked with assembly arrangements? I am looking at using them, but I am having a hard time deciding whether to use an arrangment or an override mating condition. Ex: I want to show the lid of a box in the open, closed and partially open positions in an upper assembly. The...

Is anyone aware of a conic tool in Solid Edge? I am looking for a tool to create airplane fuselage cross sections. Chad Richardson DARcorporation

Is it possible to alphabetize the variable table or do any kind of sorting? How do you delete a variable from the table? Thanks, Chad Richardson DARcorporation

Fernando, I am working on an airplane wing and I have a given chord at the center of the aileron. I set the the aileron gap as a function of the aileron chord. This is a small and high tolerance dimension. For example I can multiply my ratio of 0.0135 by 100 to get 1.35 and do the division...

Fernando, Thanks, this fixed my angle dimensions, but my scalars are still only showing two decimal places. Any other options? Thanks Chad Richardson

I want to display more than two decimal places in the Variable Table for a scalar value. Can this be done? Thanks, Chad Richardson

Note that the size of the datum depends on the amount of zoom used when using the method above. Zoom in for smaller datums and zoom out for larger datums. Chad Richardson DARcorporation

Mike, Is there a way to put the component name with a leader in the model view? I am putting solid spheres that represent center of gravity locations for aircraft components. These can get cluttered and I would like to put the name with a leader attached to the sphere. Thanks, Chad

In the past I was a I-DEAS user and was able to attach a text description to a part in the modeler that was separate from drafting. Does UG have a tool that lets me attach a text description to a part in modeling, which will allow me to distinguish it from other similiar parts? Thanks, Chad...

Does anyone know what this message means and how to fix it? "This component cannot be made visible. It is on an invisible layer." I am trimming a part to a linked surface. The part is on layer one and the linked surface is on layer 81. The component "check mark" in the...

I want to have a graphic of my full scale model with a few dimensions. Then I want to put my own dimensions for a 1/5 scale model on the graphic in Paint Shop. This way I can give the client a scaled dimension drawing using the full scale model. Any suggestions on a better way to do this...

I would like to be able to remove the drawing limits from the display, so we can do a JPG export of our drawings. Is there a switch that will turn the drawing limits off? Thanks, Chad Richardson DARcorporation

Does UG have a tendancy to leave objects in layers when objects are deleted? I have multiple layers in which I think all objects have either been deleted or moved to another layer. But the object count is not zero. Is this an issue or am I not moving/deleting everything that I think I am...

Does Unigraphics give the user the ability to group features into a bundle in the model navigator? I would like to be able to group all of my instances into one "instance group" to declutter the model navigator. Thanks, Chad Richardson DARcorporation

Is it possible have the display properties of the original components applied to the mirrored components? Chad Richardson DARcorporation
