Solid Edge 2D opening/editing dxfs
Using solid edge 2d drafting 2022. Does anyone know how to open a dxf in 2d model mode so it can be edited? Even parts I make in solid edge and save as dxfs I can't open back up into 2d model. Any help is appreciated

Let me know if this helps. This is how to import/open an existing dxf file to Solid Edge for editing.

This is how to open a file saved as an assembly. In this case - test.asm.

SE 2D is different than the full version.
In 2D click on browse, then locate your DXF you want to edit, then select DRAFT.

I didn't realize that there was a separate 2D version. I wondered about that since the full version does not have a tab for 2D. Thanks for the clarification.

David... full version has the draft icon, thats the 2D part. When you click on draft, i change my view from Working to 2D Model.

Re: Solid Edge 2D opening/editing dxfs
Thank you. That's so much easier now.
With solid edge 2d is there a way to convert 3d assembly parts into their own dxf sketches for cutting. For instance I can open some 3d things I download from grabcad into solid edge but it seems to only be a viewer.

That's a good question! I think that Rokcrler will know more about this than I do. You might try sending him a PM.
