Managing CAD users can be difficult. Without proper instructions, intermediate users might change their options, create their own templates, work in different ways, end up with different material tables, broken part links, and workstations that behave completely differently. It can also be a laborious process for a CAD Manager to set everything up exactly right, tell people “don’t change your options”, and then repeat the process on the next of 20 workstations.
Fortunately, there’s a way to save this setup time and set up all your users’ workstations to behave in the same way.
This EDGECast episode will show you the power of the Solid Edge Administrator utility, which allows you to generate a shared master Options file and lock down different workstations’ behaviour over a network. File Templates, Materials, your favourite hole settings, and many more can be shared between users and controlled by a single powerful user – the Solid Edge Admin. If you’re familiar with basic IT, are responsible for a set of Solid Edge workstations, and are experienced in your company’s CAD procedures and requirements, then I advise watching this to learn how to become a more efficient Administrator, and all of the different options available to you.
