    Custom Programming with Sharepoint

    We are currently using Solid Edge V15 with a managed document flow in sharepoint. There are 2 methods to look up stored drawings on sharepoint: 1) using the insight connect which provides search and filter capabilities 2) using the Sharepoint web part search utility which is limited and...

    Using SE Insight Connect w/o SharePoint?

    I'm pretty sure you can just create a structure on your server and drop files in there. If you have insight connect you can use the property manager in revision manager for pretty much any file location you want. This way you can change your file status. But for someone to see the status they...

    Parts Library, which one to use?

    I just received my upgrade package to V16. There's a note in there that after this version Mechsoft will no longer be the vendor of choice. They are in the process of choosing a new vendor. The letter I received mentioned being able to trade in your mech soft parts library for the "Solid Edge...

    Rounding Issue in 2004 Mechanical

    One of my users is having an issue with precision rounding. He places a dimension on the drawing and it seems to "randomly" round either up or down. For example, a circle is drawn with a 0.3125 in. diameter. Precision is set to 0.000. When this circle is dimensioned it sometimes shows 0.312...

    FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x260a83ch

    Excellent, this seemed to work! I opened it in 2002 (it's a 2002 version file), saved it down to 14. Then I opened it in 14 and saved down to 12 and did an explode. I then opened it in 2002 again and saved it as a 2002 file. This seemed to weed out those errors I kept receiving. I never...

    Migrating from ProE

    I thought ProE was the bomb until I learned how to use Solid Edge. Can't stand that menu driven interface now. Solid Edge is much friendlier to use and you can use it to establish a managed workflow as well. It has really great sheet metal tools too. John Slipec, B.Sc.ME CAD Administrator EH...

    Scaling Sheet Metal

    You may want to try going into tools --> options --> part properties and change some of the numbers there such as bend radius, bend relief etc.. John Slipec, B.Sc.ME CAD Administrator EH Price Limited, Winnipeg MB http://www.price-hvac.com

    version 15 and windows xp

    I have a few questions: 1. Which service pack are you using for Solid Edge? 2. Have you installed service pack 2 for windows xp? - it is advisable to stay away from service pack 2 as it has a very long list of software it renders useless (so much for 2 + years of development hey microsoft)...

    Solid Edge Part Previewing

    One of my CAD users cannot preview parts or sheet metal files in the parts library when doing an assembly. The boxes are just grey. It doesn't say "Preview Not Available". If I right click in the part library on the edge bar and select preview... my option to preview is selected "On". If I...
