Anybody using SE22MP7 with teamcenter 13? We just upgraded from SE20 TC12.
Save-as -> translate will no longer just translate the "displayed only parts" under export options. It translates everything in your assembly. I found the attached PR on the Siemens website with no solution given...
All. We are looking to switch from Insight/Design manager to Teamcenter. We have many assemblies that have lost links to files over the years. Will this be a problem when importing current database into Teamcenter?
Whenever we create a family of parts and add a table with the associated variables to a drawing, they are always listed as 3 place decimal tolerance. We cant determine how to change the tolerances of the variables listed in the table.
Has anyone had any dealings with this?
We require all our thread callouts on drawings to indicate the associated P.D. and M.D. per the Machinery's Handbook. Currently this is just a manual note we add to the callout. Anyone know of any way to automate this so it is associative??
Perhaps that can be an attribute in the hole...
All - anyone know if there is a way to add text to a part (for NC laser cutting) in an ARC shape in ST8?
See attached. I want to cutout the text along the arc between the ID and the OD instead of being horizontal as...
We use file properties to populate our drawing title blocks in ST7.
Currently, when they need updating/changed, we must either go back to file in question or use the property manager.
For large assemblies, this can be time consuming. Wondering if anyone knows of any way to update/change...
Hi all.
Using ST7.... Is there a way to type the formula you want for a dimension in the little box that show up when you add or click on the dimension when in a sketch profile? Instead of having to double click and then enter the formula?
We recently upgraded from ST6 to ST7 and are seeing performance issues on some computers. For example, when changing from one part to another or going into or out of a feature edit command, the system freezes and takes a minute or two to complete the task.
Has anyone else seen this?
All - not having utilized GD&T in a weldment capacity, I am interested in everyone's take on how to specify the GD&T tolerancing for two round bars that will be welded together end to end. I want their ODs to be within .015" of each other when an indicator is run along their respective ODs based...
Is anybody aware of any standards for surface finish for rods in dynamic sealing applications? We are using a double lip seal in a pump on our rods and have continuous leakage issues. Our current rod spec calls for 8-16 Ra which I think is way too rough. I have found some various ISo...
Has anybody ever played with adding any subsequent command processes to the lifecycle process in Insight?
When we "release" a part currently with Insight we have to manually create a .PDF of the SE .dft file that we then keep in a .pdf dwg vault area by folder numbers. This is long and tedious...
was hoping someone had some insight on this.
in ST6, when in a assembly, we continue to have the symbol for the base coordinate system for random parts showing up in the assy. Sometimes there are coordinate systems shown all over. It takes quite a bit of time to drill down and identify which...
Is anybody familiar with acceptable alternatives to 440A stainless round bar? We use it in several high pressure applications and the material is becoming very hard to find.
Alternatively, Is anyone familiar with sources for this material?
Thanks

Hello. Have been using SE for years and we used to use view configurations to setup "empty" configurations with no parts shown to speed up load times on some of our bigger assemblies. Howwever, as of lately, we see no difference in load time based on what view configuration is chosen...
Hello all. I have a case where I need to regulate a water source to different set points depending on need. Currently we are having to do this manually via a PRV as I am unable to find a source for a PRV that ISNT manual in a 6" valve needed for our flowrates. Is anyone aware of a source for...
Hey all - Working on my first water system design. In general, if the supply line to a pump is elevated, can this positive pressure be subtracted from the feet of head seen by the discharge? Thus reducing the size of the pump?
All. I am wondering if anyone had input on this subject. I have a rectangular tank where I am pumping water down the sides onto a sloped bottom that is draining off into a side reservoir. Simple Bernoulli equation anaylsis can guide me to what flow down the walls I need to keep a certain...
Hello all
Anybody famlilar with standard practices for sizing of a square clearance hole in steel plate for a carriage bolt?
for example, a 3/8 carriage bolt has a .388 SQR neck. Should the the punch for this be .030" oversized, similar to a standard bolt clearance hole?
All. Does anybody have a copy of "Design of Weldment" by the James R Lincoln Arc Welding foundation, 1972. I am updating a company design program that references this manual that is no longer in house and am trying to find copies of the pages in question.
Hello all. I am trying to create a pattern of holes vertically along the outer diameter of a cylinder so the hole locations rotate as they move up the cylinder. I have drawn a helix and have tried to have the holes follow the curve up the cylinder with a new hole a given distance along the...
