Yes, I've discovered that is what's causing the problem. Guess if I want to use it, I'll need to be the 1st one at work :-)

I've seen this tab available on occasion when I am modeling a part, but can't get it to appear now. How do I access it please?

KENAT, I'll give them a call, thanks.

Thanks guys. I guess that's way I'll have to do it. When I used Solidworks, there was a feature for that, and I expected Solid Edge to have the same.

I have a model of a valve body, with a shuttle valve that is either pushed in or pulled out. In my assembly model I have 2 configurations (if that's the right term) of the model, one with the valve pushed in and one pulled out. I created this by changing the value on one of my mates in the...

Thanks guys. I'll try that. I was hoping I could simply drag the forgotten part into the proper explode group in the tree, but I guess not.

Hi, I'm new to exploded views. I'm doing them manually and on a couple occasions I realized that I missed a part during my selection. Is there a way I can include that missed part in an event group that has already been created?

Bad news. I can do "draw in view" and change the color of the unwanted flow lines to white, but if the drawing needs updated, all the colors revert to black and I have to do it all over again. Same thing happens if I delete the lines too. Any more ideas?

Changing the color to white works, and it does print out ok, but it's a lot of work. I hope the update fixes this.

I have hidden some excess flow lines in my exploded model, but when I make the draft, all the flow lines that I've previously hidden are showing up. How can I fix this?Thanks.Soldedge ST2

Ok, Got it now. Used call out, but just clicked in the general area where I wanted the text to be. Once the "error: No Reference" showed up, I was able to move it to the proper location. Apparenly my machine's graphics are so slow, that when I was clicking to place the call out, nothing...

KENAT, Thanks, I understand that's how it's supposed to function. My problem is getting the fields laid out and linked. I saw the property text button was available when using a callout, but I need to do this with (I think) a text box so the information will land in the correct locations...

Thanks guys, That would work for call outs if I had something on a print to point to, but I'm trying to use this to fill in my title block fields. At the moment this is just a blank draft template with only a tile block.

Hi, I'm learning Solid Edge, and am trying to set up a drawing/draft template that will have information that is pulled from part or assembly file properties, such as the part title, part number, date, and author, automatically fill in the title block of my drawing. In the past, using...
