1.<\/strong> Click and drag in the trim tool isn’t not working in Solid Edge 2019. Is there some key I may have pressed to lock it??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip<\/strong>: In the synchronous environment, before you can use\nthe drag method you must lock the sketch plane. The best way to do this is to\nselect the sketch in PathFinder, and then use the Lock Sketch Plane command on\nthe shortcut menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> How do I add a mass property to my drawing template so that it auto-populates automatically when a part is placed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I either receive a Link or error reference in response. The part that I am testing with has the material property updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip<\/strong>: Be sure to check the box in the lower left to\n“Update on file save”, and set your templates the same, then you\nnever have to worry about updating manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> Every time I try to run the SEAdmin.exe it return an error saying it couldn’t find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOCMGMT.DLL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JUtil.dll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JUtil2.dll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nexactly is this error and how to fix it? I’m using Solid Edge 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip<\/strong>: Copy the SEAdmin program to the Solid Edge Program\nfolder and run from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“E:\\Program\nFiles\\Solid Edge 2020\\Program\\SEAdmin.exe”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
