Simplified Assemblies

In collaborative work it is very often beneficial to be able to send parts or assemblies to others if their work will be affected by your design work, however; those parts or assemblies very often contain extremely detailed information on all of your intellectual property. Because of this it may be desirable to be able to easily simplify models so that they do not contain sensitive information.

Reserving a License for an Individual or Group

Here is something helpful so you can reserve a certain license (could be an NX bundle or a Solid Edge Premium license) for a person or a group.  The Flex LM options file that we create from a text file and place in the same directory as the license file is just for this purpose.

How to See What is Checked Out to You in Solid Edge Insight

I often have people ask the best way to know if you have things checked out to you.  If there is an issue with a file (FOP issues are common for this) or a crash, then the file might not get checked back in correctly and uploaded to the server.  You should check each week or so to see if things are checked out and get them checked back in. 

Click HERE to go to our knowledge base and see two ways to easily check to see if you or others have something still checked out to you.  

If you have any issues, contact techsupport@allyplm.com.
