Hello All,
This is my first post. Thank you for your help. I am relatively new to Solid Edge (ST8). My main experience is NX12 and Solid Works 2016. I ha e a few questions regarding feature control frames in drafting mode.
1. Is there a way to create a subfix or prefix like you can with a dimension in the feature control frame? For example, I want the feature control frame to say:
|PROFILE|.001|A|B|
FROM A TO B
In NX, there are multiple ways to do this. I can snap text to the feature control frame or I can enter text into to subfix field below the data fields for the feature control frame. Can you do anything like this in Solid Edge ST8? I do not want the two notes to be disassociated because that is how drawings get messed up quickly.
2. Additionally, is there an easy way to connect or snap a feature control frame to a dimension (e.g. a true position connected to a hole diameter?
3. Finally, is there an easy way to have feature control frames embedded in a text box? I find this is useful for general tolerance notes. For example:
U.O.S. All holes shall be |TRUE POSITION|.010|A|B|.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Regards,
Scott
