Reusing data in parts and assemblies – On The EDGE
http://ontheedge.dezignstuff.com/reusing-data-in-parts-and-assemblies/1626
Reusing data in parts and assemblies. April 13, 2015. The re-use of data is one of those huge time savers that we talk about a lot. Doing things faster is great, of course, but the fastest way to do something is to not do it at all, or to just copy it from something else similar you’ve already done. Replace one part with another part. Replace a part with a library part. Replace an existing part with a new blank part. Replace an existing part with a renamed copy of itself. So for the ratchet buckle, I wou...

Viewers for Solid Edge – On The EDGE
http://ontheedge.dezignstuff.com/viewers-for-solid-edge/992
Viewers for Solid Edge. February 26, 2013. I recently started looking into the issue of viewers in Solid Edge, and was initially a bit confused. Fortunately some nice folks straightened me out. There are two main viewers you want to concern yourselves with when using Solid Edge. The main viewer is just called Solid Edge Viewer, and it installs with the software as well as being downloadable for free separately. It will also cycle the markups, in the same way that eDrawings animates between drawing views.

Who Put the “Dumb” in “Dumb Geometry?” (video) – On The EDGE
http://ontheedge.dezignstuff.com/who-put-the-dumb-in-dumb-geometry-video/1636
Who Put the “Dumb” in “Dumb Geometry? April 20, 2015. I’ll tell you who put the “dumb” in “dumb geometry”: It was someone who only used history-based CAD, that’s who. It must be frustrating to lose ALL of your power to edit parts when you exchange CAD files with someone who uses a different CAD system, isn’t it? Let me tell you a little secret. It’s not the geometry that’s dumb. And I know what you’re thinking, it’s not the user. It’s the software. Updated: April 27, 2015 — 10:27 am. 8592; Previous Post.

Why Is one of the Biggest Selling Points of Feature-Based CAD also the Most Feared? – On The EDGE
http://ontheedge.dezignstuff.com/why-is-one-of-the-biggest-selling-points-of-feature-based-cad-also-the-most-feared/1557
Why Is one of the Biggest Selling Points of Feature-Based CAD also the Most Feared? January 16, 2015. It may or may not be appetizing as it is, but knowing what’s in it will certainly not make you feel better about it. The best you can hope for in some cases is to intentionally break the references. The external references still remain, they just don’t work. And as hideous as this sounds, this may be the way your software is designed to work. The assembly has to keep track of:. Which entities within the ...

Synchronous Sheet Metal – On The EDGE
http://ontheedge.dezignstuff.com/synchronous-sheet-metal/306
May 27, 2012. Slightly embellished part I made from the synchronous sheet metal tutorial. Sheet metal just happens to be one of the two things that Solid Edge has built a reputation on. The other is drawings. I have always enjoyed the sheet metal tools in SW, but having used the sheet metal tools in Solid Edge, I have to say that Solid Edge is much better. I’ve written previously on comparing SW v SE sheet metal. Flat patterns in SE are relatively straight forward. You can save out a DXF directly. It is ...

Configurations vs Family of Parts. May 10, 2012. No organization, just features turned on/off and dimensions changed in various configs. Tables for individual features. Excel spreadsheets that control variables/dimensions/properties. You can use configurations for various purposes in SW:. To show size variations of parts/assemblies. To show variations with different features/parts. To temporarily eliminate certain features you may want back later. To show assemblies in different positions. Managing neste...
