What’s New in Solid Edge ST6?

In 2013, Solid Edge ST6 was released by Siemens. When I started using Solid Edge, ST3 was the latest version - it has been almost two years since and Solid Edge is still continuing to improve.

One of the biggest changes, for me, is the procedure of importing model views into a draft document. The draft field is now defaulted to have a model view ready to place as soon as you select a part with the View Wizard. A few of the smaller changes are that the Extend to Next tool is now listed in a drop down menu under the Split tool. Also, the Spline tool is now separated from the drop down menu under the Line tool.

Rest assured, all of the processes involved with using the Solid Edge tools remain mostly the same.  And, as always, Solid Edge still offers the cutting edge ability to add Synchronous Technology features to our traditionally “ordered” models to ease model creation and revisions. The Live Rules still offer increased flexibility and intelligence in forming a model’s features.


Solid Edge ST6 is now the next installment in the Solid Edge series and I believe that ST6 will continue to be an added value for all of our solid modeling practices.
