This video shows that using mixed mode modelling (ST and Ordered) can improve the ability of being able to modify faces. Having rounds of varying sizes on a face can make it hard for ST to manage geometry, but placing these rounds into ordered can leave faces free of “clutter” leaving ST free to do

Synchronous Technology can give big benefits in modelling sheet metal to allow you to quickly design from the ground up and none more so that when some of your flanges are at an angle. I was asked recently how to have two flanges that were not at the traditional perpendicular (90°) measure the same from

When you are working with an imported assembly, Solid Edge does a great job of creating all of the parts and placing them into the assembly, but all the parts will be grounded in place. This article will show how assembly relationships can be quickly applied to make it into a workable assemble. 457 total views,

The “Distance Between” command places a dimension that measures the distance between elements or key-points. The first dimension placed will define the datum from which all subsequent dimensions are measured from (a right mouse click will reset the datum for the next dimension group). When the position of the second dimension is placed, you can

Solid Edge diagramming lets you create electrical, P&ID (process and instrument designs) and other diagrams, using standard libraries of 2D (AutoCAD) blocks and quickly connecting them with associative connectors (figure 1). Three main components make up the diagramming capabilities: blocks, connectors and the ability to convert native DWG blocks on the fly. 1,445 total views, 1 views

Synchronous Technology (ST) has been around for four versions now and people are still a little unsure of how and when to use it. With Solid Edge ST1 and ST2, users were forced into using either totally Synchronous or Ordered (Traditional) modes and, I believe, that this limited the use of synchronous technology to items
