I think I may have lost my mind... how do I add text notes to sketches? I'm using sketching to capture some physical info and drive a sheet metal component... but I can't figure out how to add notes to the model space in a sketch. Thanks,
Has anyone tried JT2Go? I'm currently comparing the simple collaberation tools available and would like some input on JT2Go. I have spent a bit of time tinkering with it and am less than impressed - especially when compared to eDrawings.
A few years ago, a gentleman gave a presentation at SE Summit about "Bullet-Proof Modeling". The concept is to eleminate the vertical "parent/child" model tree and make every feature, etc independant. This uses a plane and an associated sketch to drive every feature. Also some custom...
Has anyone used this command at length? My issue is that the DWG file produces a profile with many, many disconnected elements that require a lot of rework to close up for extruding, etc. Is there a trim setting, like what is available with SW, when I bring in an DWG to automatically take care...
I've tried to "drag and drop" a *.sldprt file complete with 3d annotations to Adobe 3D, but it only brings in the model - not the 3d anno. Is there a trick to this or is it just not an option?
When looking at roll-size sheets; G sheets start out at 22.5" inches wide and move to 90" max in 8.5" increments, however... that would come out to 90.5".... When looking at H,J, and K sheets, they increment from 44" or 55" to 143" or 176" in 11" increments and this adds up...
The question is...
Is there a fairly elegant way to use MS Excel to drive variables in SE. I looked the CHM files on the subject - and they mention that the associated documents must be opened in a specific order, else the world will collapse in on itself - or something along those lines.
I believe the order is...
How many of you have seen the new 3D pdf's that Adobe has?
I've been working with the trial version and I am absolutely floored with this. It has the potential to do away with all the MCAD-specific viewers...
The big question is how to integrate the 3D views into drawings in the "most...
I'm new to the whole professional draftsman field, making the transition from tool making.
I have several basic questions...
Can I use (Co)Ordinate dims with linear dims in the same drawing on different views or details?
Can I have two detail "circle" borders cross?
What would you recommend...
Can you reorder the layers in a DFT? I've added layers as the template has evolved and I'd like to group them in a more logical order...
Thanks.
Justin.
Is there a macro recorder available for SE, hopefully similar to the macro recorder used with SW?
Also, does anyone have a macro that I can steal to control layers in a a DFT file... the intended use would be this;
Macro opens dft, makes certain layers visible, others hiden, and prints to...
I am in the process of buying a workstation for home. Although they seem to be unsupported, will a nVidia GeForce work with SW? What are the advantages of spending the cash for a Quattro card?
I've got a fat wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket. I've decided to invest in a workstation for the house... Now, the question is this, will the new Apple G5 w/ Intel chips run windows? And if so, will it run SW?
If not, I've settled on a Velocity Micro unless you folks have better...
I'm trying to annotate a fraction, such as 11 13/64, in a text field as part of our QC inspection documents. I can't seem to figure out how to make the text super/subscript...
A caveat, I am a new user and not too bright, so I apologize if this is a silly question.
I'm very new to using SolidEdge although I find it almost as intuitive and user friendly as SolidWorks, which I am used to.
My question is this...
Can I use VBA to save a file in it's native SolidEdge format and save it as a *.pdf - and at the same time automatically choose the filename based...
