SE Drawing Extractor is a must-have tool to automate extraction of 2D and 3D drawings from proprietary Solid Edge format to AutoCAD ® and CAM compatible DWG, DXF, SAT, IGS, JT, STP, XGL and PLMXML files.
SE Drawing Extractor is usually used as a link between design department (Solid Edge files) and engineering and production teams, vendors and customers - all people that need to have a simple access to all files in a standard way.
SE Drawing Extractor requires a valid license of Solid Edge installed on the same computer.
Let's take a look at the options that are available in SE Drawing Extractor:
First, you setup paths to your folders with Solid Edge files. (You can even setup multiple folder sets and custom file filters for each folder).
Then, you can setup the default directories to extract drawings to and which format to use - DWG or DXF.
You can specify how to work with log files and whether to run extraction automatically on program run and even automatically close SE Drawing Extractor
(for scheduled overnight drawing updates, so you do not have to have a dedicated Solid Edge license to run SE Drawing Extractor and use a floating one).
SE Drawing Extractor can work with your files that are managed by SharePoint and Insight.
If you can map a network drive directly to Sharepoint, you can run SE Drawing Extractor on network folders.
If you can not do that, download
WebDrive software package that will enable your operating system to map remote Sharepoint folders via VPN, Remote Access, WebDAV and even ftp protocols.
