Agenda What is Solid Edge SP Saving and Opening Data structure Revising Parts Visualising data Engineering change Searching for data Releasing data using workflow Page 2
Solid Edge SP Solid Edge for SharePoint A SharePoint App for Solid Edge users who are finding that as the volume of their data grows, using Windows folders and network drives is limiting their ability to complete design projects efficiently Easy, visual management of Solid Edge CAD files and related documents, plus automation of everyday tasks resulting in on-time and on-budget completion of design projects Built on 10 years of technical leadership in SharePoint based CAD file management with Solid Edge Insight Page 3
Structured design data management Complete design definition using a part data model Multi-revision, multi-file part data model Each part revision is a collection of closely related files: Solid Edge CAD file for 3D definition JT file for visualization and collaboration STEP/IGES file for import or export Office documents for specs and reports Part Part Revision Document 100232 - Part 100232 Part / A 100232 Part / B 100232 Part / C 100232_C.par 100232_C.dft 100232_C.docx Page 4
Part creation Create Parts From the web Through Solid Edge Auto Part and Revision Numbering Mandatory properties Managed templates Page 5
Embedded within Solid Edge Standard Solid Edge dialogs like File Open have direct access to the database Search and browse for data Display thumbnail images PathFinder provides valuable feedback on managed information In Place Activating a document checks out that document If a document can not be checked out then it will be opened read only Indication of who has the file checked out Page 6
