Native 2D geometry can be blocked within Solid Edge draft or blocks from .dwg can be read into Solid Edge.  1) Open a drawing that has blocks.

Solid Edge Tip of the Week October 2 Solid Edge Tip of the Week October 2, 2015 Solid Edge - Feature Library In this weeks tip, we will be taking a closer look at the Solid Edge Feature Library.  Not only can the feature library be used to pull in completed parts but also previously created features in Solid Edge.  This is especially useful to help reduce design time when frequently using the same features. A feature library entry may contain any of the following synchronous elements: Features Faces Sketches Planes Coordinate systems Constructions **Note:  You can only place a synchronous feature library member while in the synchronous environment. You can add to the feature library from the Ordered environment.  The only ordered element you can add is a feature.  When placing an ordered feature in the feature library, the attributes for the feature are maintained. A feature library entry cannot contain a mixture of synchronous and ordered element...

Solid Edge Tip of the Week How to Uninstall a Maintenance Pack In this week�s tip, we walk through the process of uninstalling a Maintenance Pack for Solid Edge. Starting with ST8, you can now download Maintenance Packs with the .msi file extension instead of .exe and therefore will be able to uninstall it without uninstalling all of Solid Edge. With Solid Edge closed, go to the start menu, then control panel. Go to Uninstall Programs> View Installed updates Scroll to Solid Edge ST8, select it, and hit Uninstall.  This will only uninstall the Maintenance Pack. It will not uninstall all of Solid Edge. visit link download
