For those of you out there with solid edge we are having trouble using the tubing command in Version 16. If you have any experience we would apprcieate some input in to how to better use the feature. Our only other option is to maniipulate planes which we dont want to do. Please help

I'm using SolidEdge v17 in my CAD class... my advise is to use SolidWorks.

Boxster,

If it's 2d you can draw the tube centreline in a sketch and use the "plane normal to curve" function. Select the plane, draw the tube profile and either extrude it as a solid from the sketch if it's straight, or use the swept protrusion function (if it's got bends).

Other advise is to use the smart fit, not the fast fit toolbar option if there's one...seems to be a generic issue.
