Solid Edge ST2 MP2 Released

Siemens PLM just released MP2 for Solid Edge ST2 on Friday January 8th. This patch includes many updates as well as fixes for user reported issues. It can be found here (webkey acct needed): http://ftp.ugs.com/solid_edge/ST2/

For those unfamiliar with what Maintenance Patches (MP) are, they are software updates that vendors of most applications deliver on a regular basis or "as needed" to resolve issues with the application or enhance the application. They are typically installed on top of a major version of an application, and are generally version specific.

In the case of Solid Edge ST2, you would need to run the MP for that particular version once ST2 has already been installed. MPs are typically "all inclusive" meaning that installing the latest MP includes the content of all earlier MPs (MP2 included MP1 updates as well as MP2 updates). If running Solid Edge along with Insight Server or Embedded Client, you will need to also install the same version of MP for these items as well (All must have MP2, not a mix of MP1 and MP2).
I hope you find this information usefull.

Solid Edge ST3 - Part 1 of 4

The Siemens PLM Connection event is over.  Given the change of date and venue due to the flooding of the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, it was a great success.  There were many excellent presentations and "hands-on" training sessions for Solid Edge (including mine) , and even though a formal announcement of the upcoming ST3 is some time away, we got a sneak peak of several new customer driven enhancements as well as some hint of: A "bridge" to help existing users better adopt Synchronous Technology Simulation enhancements PDM enhancements 1000's of customer enhancements from modeling to the user interface Over the next few weeks, I'd like to cover some of the items presented around the customer driven enhancements, but please keep in mind there are still a whole lot of items that will not be presented until the official Solid Edge ST3 launch later in the year. For this post, I would like to cover the User Interface enhancements. You now have...

Dimension Projection Line Breaks

Often when placing dimensions on drawings, the projection lines of some dimensions will cross the projection lines of other dimensions as shown below. Solid Edge provides a function to automatically create breaks in one extension line where it crosses another. This function is called "Add Projection Line Break". It is accessible from the Shortcut Menu when you have a dimension highlighted. The result is shown below. If you wish to remove the projection line break, highlight the dimension, invoke the shortcut menu, and select "Remove Projection Line Break".

Solid Edge V20 Deployed!

I have finally gotten Solid Edge V20 and the Viewer deployed through my organization on Sept. 27th. We deploy SE to over 100 users and the Viewer to over 400 users across about 10 geographic locations in one night over a couple hours. All went well considering this was the first deployment since the new Packaging Specialist started, and it was done on a brand new version of the deployment system we use. We use Microsoft's System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) which was just upgraded from SMS 2003. http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/configmgr/default.mspx . It allows inventorying PC's throughout the org, as well as pushing software to the PC's. To be able to push the software, you must use the MSI supplied by Solid Edge and repackage it as an EXE. Since the MSI is used, you must also install .NET and ISSCRIPT separately (which can also be added to the EXE package). We found that the ISSCRIPT.MSI must be modified to work with SCCM due to the fact that it insta...
