Solid Edge Cad Integration Numbering

Hello All,
I am involved in SE Cad Integration. I am using 'internal numbering' schema for creating DIR's for the Part. I want the Drawing DIR to be same as Part DIR but starting with a letter 'D'. For example if a part DIR is 100025/SEP/000/00, when I create drawing out of it and go to Cad Desktop, and furthur create DIR for the drawing, the DIR number should be D100025/SED/000/00.
How can I achieve the same.
Thanks in adavnce.
Sachin

Hello Sachin,
perhaps in the RENAME_AND_ADD_FILES method you can read the CAD-Structure one level down, get the document number and add an "D" at the beginning ?

Solid Edge-SAP integration

Hello,
1. I am having cad files with names, like pump.par, 1234-PUMP.par. In Solid Edge-sap integration there is an option in which we can have the file name as document name when we create a dir. As document numbering is internal or external with only numerical, am I correct in saying for this in Document Type number assignment we would put 'external number range' with user exit and in User Exit design something with help of available Badi's (with some developers help) and then only file names could be passed to DIR names.
2. Also in solid edge-sap integration its written that for different versions of dir, the files below them should have the same name otherwise the links get lost, for example SEP-pump-000-01 has file name pump.par under it and also SEP-pump-000-02 has file name pump.par under it , but we make changes in design
Thanks,
Paddy

Dear Stefan,
Thanks a lot for your reply. The second answer is very useful. It's good to know files names in dir versions would be "version free" in SE-SAP integration.
You lost the first question. I want to use option, 'set DIR name as file name', so if lets say file name is abc.par, the DIR name would be 'abc'. My question is what number range should I define for the document type. I assume 'external number range with user exit' would be used to make this happen and development would be needed,. Am I correct.
Thanks,
Sachin

Questions on Cad Integration- Solid Edge and Solid Works

Hello All,
I had the following questions related to CAD Integration:
1. I have my CAD files saved in working directory. I create DIR for them from CDESK (Cad View - Create Document) and want to rename the files as Document Number_Document Description. How can I achieve the same. Again, I want to do the same from CDESK (CAD VIEW)
2. On Solid Edge CAD integration, I have noticed sometimes when I register the DLL's the 'User/System Preferences from SAP-PLM' on Solid Edge side does not pop up. Can someone tell me what might be the reason and how to fix it. Also if I already registered the DLL's and want to clean them (remove them), so that to try to register DLL's again, where can I go to remove them from Windows registery file
3. In Solis Edge is it necessary to check in and check out the SEC application (representing .cfg ) in SEA document type. I have noticed if I have the .cfg in my working directory and I check in SEA without .cfg and if some other person checks out the SEA, the .cfg gets created for him on the fly in his working directory.
Thanks in advance,
Sachin

Hello Sachin,
1. please have a look at and implement note 645365 - "CDESK: Attaching Solid Edge .cfg file when creating doc.".
2. If you registered the DLL's once and you want to update them, you only have to copy and replace the old ones with the new ones. You do not have to un-register the old ones.
The problem with the disappearing Menu-Items or symbols can only be solved by restoring the SolidEdge-Registry-Path...
3. You can only checkout the CFG-Files if you use the CAD-Desktop.
You have to add the WSAPPL SEC (*.cfg) to the applications in the CDESK_CUS.
(CHECKIN, CHECKOUT and COPY)
Stefan.

Hello sir,
I have developed SAP-Autocad interface with VBA as middleware
Now I am doing the development using VC++ as the middleware what language have u used
I have started the development just recently so its at a very basic point.Right now I am able to display a form for entering the login information by user there is a button on click of which connection 2 sap should be established.
In VBA there is a library called Sapfunctionsocx which provides u with functions to connect to SAP
Through VC++ r we suppose 2 use the RFC SDK I m using CRfcConnection class for it but it is generating the error as :
interfacedialog1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall CRfcString::~CRfcString(void)" (??1CRfcString@@QAE@XZ)
after a lots of effort i m not able to solve this issue can u pls help me
any information regarding this entire project u have pls do tell me
Thanks&Regards

Macbook and Solid Edge?

Hi,
I want to start my engeneering study next year and am planning on buying a macbook for that. I would go for the white 2.0ghz one with 2 gig ram because I'll use it for audio production too.
Now my question is: How fluently does Solid Edge work with the macbook? (I'll install XP on it with bootcamp)
I know i'll be using this program quite alot so it's important that it works OK.
Thanks in advance
PJ

Looking at the requirements for the application, it sounds as if a MacBook Pro may be a better option. The integrated Intel GPU found in the MacBook is pretty much okay for basic office applications and, in some cases, low to moderate resolution 3D games. The requirements for Solid Edge state "It is recommended that you use a graphics card specifically designed for CAD applications.". The Intel GMA 950 is far from being a card designed for CAD applications. More information can be found here:
http://www.solidedge.com/graphics/default.htm
It looks like they've tested it on pretty much high-end mobile graphics solutions only. The minimum card requirements from the site are shown below:
Solid Edge will run on any graphics driver that supports Windows 2000® or Windows XP®. Contact your graphic card manufacturer to determine whether their graphics adapter/driver supports these operating systems.
For optimal performance, it is recommended that you use a graphic card specifically designed for CAD applications.
Note 1: A number of consumer cards are based on nVidia TNT and GeForce chipsets. Utilizing these graphic cards may result in decreased performance when opening multiple windows in Solid Edge. The decrease in display performance is related to limited driver support for Unified Back Buffers. nVidia recommends the Quadro line of cards for CAD applications, as it does not have this limitation.
Note 2: Utilizing a consumer card, one not specifically designed for CAD applications, may result in decreased performance or poor display quality in Solid Edge.
Note 3: Running with extremely high screen resolution and color depth increases the memory requirements on the system and may result in apparent performance degradation. If experienced, reconfigure the display system to the recommended resolution and color depth for improved performance.

SAP connector for CAD Integration with Unigraphics (NX)

Hi Experts,
Could you please guide me on where can I download CAD Integration connector for Unigraphics (NX).
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Neil

Thank you very much for the useful link Martin. Anyway, there are some things that I cannot find for NX Unigraphics integration:
In the wiki you can find
You can download the CAD-Integration-Software from http://service.sap.com/swdc and then goto
Installations and Upgrades > Supplementary Components for Cross Industry Solutions > Life-Cycle Data Management > SAP PLM Integrations > select the desired integration
But that path does not exist in SAP download software page.
Also, in the availability matrix I can find integration with several systems (catia, solid edge, autocad...) but not unigraphics.
Could you please provide some more information on the topic?
Thanks a lot.

KPRO for CAD Integration

Hello All.
Just wanted to cross check this from you. We have CAD Integrated with SAP.
1. We have Dev Box, Q Box and P Box. I would need a KPRO on 3 different boxes. Am I correct ? Also do I have to change setting in SPRO in Dev, Q, and P to point to the respective correct Box - how do I do this.
2. Also in Q-Box we have 2 different clients EQ50 and EQ100. Am I correct to say we will use the same EQ box and Partition it for EQ50 and EQ100, so that when I work in EQ50 the files can be saved in Partition in KPRO for EQ50 and when I work in EQ100, the files can be saved in different Partition. How to make this partition in KPRO and also how do I change SPRO config for KPRO for EQ50 and EQ100, to point to correct partition.
Thanks,
Sachin

Tips to work with heavy SE/SW assemblies -CAD Integration

Hello All,
I am associated with SAP-Cad Integration for Solid Edge and Solid Work Applications. My concern is when working with large/heavy assembly structures.
What can be the few tips so that heavy data download from SAP Content server to local working directories can flow in less time and less likelihood of system getting crashed. Also is there something like a time period involved in CDESK by which if all assemblies or parts dont download, it crashes. If yes how can the time be increased. Basically how to improve efficiency while working with heavy assemblies for Solid Edge/Solid Work through CDESK
All useful answers would be awarded points.
thanks in advance.
Sachin

Thats abs right.
in system preferences > register doc
what u set here will take the name for hard disk.
actually it should take DocumentNumber_descrip.par
and likewise
even if u dont do this, it ok..

SE/SW Cad Integration -- File Names

Hello All,
Just wanted to make sure in Solid Edge/Solid Work --SAP Integration that we for a Drawing and the Part from which views are generated there is no problem to keep file/original name unique (different). For example Part with file name Bracket.par (DIR 100085/sep/000/00) and its Drawing with file name Drawing_Bracket.dft (DIR100086/sed/000/00). The file names are different as you can see.
I create my file names by registering documents: "DokNr_DokDesc" hence they would be different.
Thanks,
Sachin

Configuration of Solid edge - SAP

hi all,
my 1st Q is,
where are the configuration files of Integration (SAP- solid edge) are stored.
2nd
can we modify them using external program.
i want to know the file as i intent to copy single configured file to several systems.
eg:
for inventor cfg files are stored in C:\program files\sap ag\autodesk config\
and whenever we make changes in config this file gets updated.
so i can copy this file to no of systems.
i want similar for Solid edge
thanx

CAD Integration

Hi, hopefully the experts will be able to give me some info regarding cad integration:
I am trying to inegrate SolidWorks with SAP, I am at a point where I try to save the EBOM to SAP, the interface tries to save to SAP but it generates an error(error while checking in...) as it tries to check-in the files into the content server as the files is still active/open in solidworks. What is the correct procedure to save the drawings to SAP through the cad inegration functionality? The SAP content server does not want to check-in files if it is still open in the application?

Hi,
I have worked in AutoCAD(2D) integration and Pro/E(3D) Integration. I dont know about Solid works.
But the functionalities of all the integration softwares are mostly same.
1) To save the Assembly files and part files, you need to create two document types. Hope u have done all these configurations.
Once you are ready with all ur settings.
Goto CAD Desktop select the part file and create the document by selecting the proper Document type, then select the Assembly file and create the document by selecting the proper document type.
Then Check-in the file from CAD Desktop by selecting the appropriate content repository.
like that the Materials and BOMs can also be created directly from CAD Desktop.
functionality wise i can help you but not technical wise as im not aware of solid works.
Sorry i dont have any training materials for Solid works.
Regards,
MRK.

Solid Edge help

Hi all
we have integrated Solid edge with SAP by integrator from Gedas.
Can anyone has help related to Link Log >>
particularly for
Link Log >> Solid edge tree >> Properties
thanks
Niranjan

Hi Niranjan,
as far as I know you can define in the section 'solid edge tree -> properties' the file properties that are displayed in the structure tree for the Solid Edge objects, like SAP document number, SAP description, status, etc.
So just select -> properties -> change -> and select the properties you like to see.
Best regards,
Daniel
