Opening Solid Edge documents (3D) only
Open file with precise geometry (for precise measurement)
Specifies that you want to open .pcf files with precise geometry. This provides precise measurements for 3D viewing data. This option must be set for you to enable dynamic highlighting.
Part simplification
Specifies how you want to open an assembly that contains simplified parts. You can specify whether the parts in the assembly are displayed using the designed or simplified version. When this option is cleared, the simplified or designed status of the parts is determined by the last save. When you open an assembly with parts simplified, the assembly will open faster.
Use all designed
Specifies that all parts in the assembly that have simplified versions defined will be displayed as designed when you open the assembly.
Use all simplified
Specifies that all parts in the assembly that have simplified versions defined will be displayed simplified when you open the assembly.
Assembly simplification
Specifies how you want to open an assembly that contains simplified subassemblies. You can specify whether you want all subassemblies simplified, the top level assembly, or last saved assembly simplified. When you open an assembly with subassemblies simplified, the assembly will open faster.
All subassemblies
Specifies that all subassemblies in the assembly that have simplified versions defined will be displayed simplified when you open the assembly.
Top level assembly
Specifies that all subassemblies in the assembly that have simplified versions defined will be displayed as designed when you open the assembly.
Saving .pcf files
Store viewing data in the file
Specifies that you want to embed the viewing data in the file you are saving. If this option is unchecked, opening the file requires you to resolve links back to the original CAD documents.
Store precise geometry in file
Specifies that you want to store the precise geometry in the file you are saving.
Remove password on Save As
Removes the password from the .pcf file when you choose Save As. When this option is unchecked, the password is retained.
Security
Displays the Security and Password dialog box. You can specify the security for features that are saved with the .pcf file.
Sending .pcf files
Send URL document link instead of copy (for managed documents only)
Specifies that you want to send the URL link to the original CAD document rather than send an embedded copy of the document.
Send attachment
Specifies that you want to send a copy of the CAD document as an attachment.
Remove precise geometry when sending file
Specifies that you want to remove the precise geometry from a file before sending it to out to other users.
Security
Displays the Security and Password dialog box. You can specify the security for features that are saved with the .pcf file.
