DESCRIPTION
In this Solid Edge hands-on session, we will take a look at some of the new tools offered in ST4 draft environment. These tools include formatting Parts lists by merging cells, splitting cells, aspect ratio, rotating cells and adding multi-line titles. Balloons can now be stacked balloons for Fastener Systems to improve the look of the drawing.

Hatch Rib in Section View
Solid Edge Options - Enable/Disable the creation of hatch in ribs cut in section
views
Option can be set to Hatch or No Hatch
Hatch – Ribs are considered part of the primary body and are cut along with
the primary body
No Hatch – Ribs are considered
to be a separate body
Ribs are pulled off of the
primary body and cut separately

Hatch Rib in Section View
New property added to the Drawing View – Advanced tab to allow the Hatch
ribs setting to be specified on drawing views separately
When checked, ribs are hatched
When unchecked, the special rib
non-hatched rib processing is done
on the section view

Siemens PLM SoftwarePage 45
Solid Edge. Design better.
Hatch Ribs – Criteria for Rib
Processing
The following rules apply to hatching and not hatching ribs:
Not hatching ribs applies to section, revolved section, and broken out section
drawing views
A rib is added to the list of ribs for possible inclusion in the non-hatch
processing when the following criteria are met:
A segment of a cutting plane must intersect the rib.
The normal cutting of the rib would produce
a hatched face in the section view.

Siemens PLM SoftwarePage 46
Solid Edge. Design better.
Hatch Ribs – Broken out
Section
Broken Out Section views have special considerations as follows:
The Broken Out Section profile must be on the same view as the cut is
applied.
Multiple cutouts can be made on a single drawing view. The hatch/non-hatch
display of a rib is the same and is controlled collectively across multiple
cutouts.

Conclusions
As with all Solid Edge releases, a strong focus is placed on increasing usability
of the 2D drafting tool. Solid Edge drawings are compliant with industry
standards, but you have complete control over drawing view, dimensions, and
annotations characteristics to accommodate specific company or customer
needs. Solid Edge Draft is a complete world-class drafting tool designed to
build drawings the way a company needs to work.
