    To part mark, or not to part mark

    I'm not sure if this is the best forum to pose this question, but since it does impact a note on a drawing I'll ask it here. The company that I am at now is not accustomed to having sheet metal parts physically marked by any methods. I am from a background of commercial, semiconductor, and...

    Need some help - New job & I'm not producing drawings that are 'good enough'.

    Great news ModulusCT! Glad everything worked out for you. I can't wait to see the new line of wiffle balls and bats from that sporting goods manufacturer in Southern, & not Western Mass!

    Add vertex to chamfer dimension

    I have a dimension .004 X 45 degrees created with the CHAMFER DIMENSION command. I used the Callout Perpendicular under the Properties. It pulls a leader off with the chamfer dimension. Is it possible to add a vertex to the leader now? I know you can do it with leaders by using the ALT key while...

    ST4 issues with drafting

    Hello! This is a nice thread here being I am a new user to Solid Edge too. Robin had some of the exact same questions that I have. It's nice to know there is a place to go for Solid Edge help. I've used Inventor for over 9 years and there is a way to set up your drawing views so they don't...
