Best | Solid Edge Synchronous

To get the most out of your workflow, here are the best practices for mastering Solid Edge Synchronous Technology. 1. Master the Steering Wheel

In a synchronous environment, the 3D face is more important than the 2D sketch. Once a sketch is extruded, the dimensions migrate to the 3D model.

Use the red/blue arrows on a PMI dimension to decide which side of the geometry should move when the value changes.

Use this to move multiple faces at once, even if they aren't physically connected.

Change your mind at any stage of the design without breaking the model tree.

One of the best features of Solid Edge Synchronous is its ability to treat "dumb" geometry (STEP, IGES, or Parasolid files) as if it were native data.

Click the torus (the outer ring) to rotate geometry around a specific axis. 2. Leverage Live Rules

Use the "Recognize Holes" command to turn static cylinders into editable hole features with standard thread data. Summary of Best Benefits

The Steering Wheel is the heart of synchronous interaction. It is the primary tool for moving, rotating, and offsetting faces or features.
