Thanks I will ask there

Hi, I am new to Solid Edge and come from Catia/Creo. This is SE 2020 running on Teamcenter. I want to do a save as using an existing assembly model, and at the same time save some of the components to new names, but not all. I cannot seem to find the save as command that would list all the...

Thanks for the replies, very useful and informative. Problem I have is many of the parts are hollow, so subtracting the volume might not give me the actual air displacement. Has anyone found a good way of getting Catia to only account for volumes bounded by external surface, in order to work...

What is the best way of calculating air volume in a complex 3d assembly? In Creo I used to create a model of the air then using merge, subtract the models that intersected it. Does Catia have a similar function?

Open File/Properties Where it says "Mass Properties" click "Change" in the Source pull-down box select "Geometry and Parameters" in Actions select "Edit" enter your mass value in the Mass box.

it is possibly a graphics problem. I sometimes get that too. If everything is still in the model tree your part is still there. Normally if you zoom to extents then do a regen it should come back. If it's to do with faulty model geometry, what colour are the traffic lights (just above the...

Mainly engraved port labelling and numbering for hydraulic tubes, i.e. strings and numbers. It sounds like it is quicker to do this longhand with a cosmetic sketch with notes constrained to each hole. That's a pain. A reference pattern would have been great, then I could have simply changed the...

Wouldn't I need to change the parameter 20 times if I have 20 different texts patterned? Can that be done in a pattern table?

Hi, In modelling I have a plate with a pattern of holes in it. I want to create text for the first hole, and then pattern it to all the other holes but be able to modify the text at each instance. Can this be done? Thanks David

Yep, that works, thanks

Guys, I don't do much drafting, but have picked up a large multi-sheet drawing with many models in it, and I am sure some of them are not used in the drawing views. How can I identify which models are unused, and can therefore be deleted to speed up load and regeneration times? Thanks Dave

The only work-around I have found is to remove the local section then View/Properties allows you to check the HLR for quilts box. The quilts are then hidden after the view regens. Then you have to recreate the local section by redrawing the spline boundary curve. The view remains with HLR...

You could shrinkwrap it as a merged solid, and increase the quality number until you get the quality you want. I would simplify it as much as possible first though (remove nuts, blots, washers, small parts, etc.)

Hi, WF3. I have a drawing with a number of sheets and views that I want to enable HLR for quilts. I have selected View/Properties on some of them and successfully hidden the quilts. However, there is one projection view containing a local section that the option is greyed out, and it is not...

I'm really keen to push for this to adhere to a formal, not a company, standard. The company title block has changed a few times over the years and it is a company practise that whenever a drawing is revised, the format gets changed to reflect the current year and copyright notice. I have...

ASME Y14.5-2009 para. 1.6.1 (b) and (c) prohibits trailing zeros As far as I am aware, ISO standards don't specifically prohibit trailing zeros in the text, but in diagrams I have never seen trailing zeros shown.

Guys, In a metric drawing you cannot use the number of decimal places to control the acuracy in the general tolerance block, because standards do not allow trailing zeros in metric dimensions. ISO get around this with a specific general tolerance standard, ISO 22768, which bases the accuracy...

Try Parameter &PTC_WM_VERSION, that should display the version of the model.

In actual fact, I can do this without patterning at all, by having a continuous curve of 'n' coils, represented by: - n=coils r=radius d=diameter x=2*r*cos(n*360*t)*sqrt(cos(n*360*t)^2) y=2*r*cos(n*360*t)*sin(n*360*t) z=t*d*2*n I can even have the half coil, e.g parameter: coils = 4.5, to make...
