Have you ever had the IT department install Solid Edge for you and they install it with the wrong templates?

Changing the units of the individual template files is not practical because there is more than one setting in the file.

The easiest way to to fix this is to start the installer again. It will offer you a "Modify" option that you can you can use to select different templates.

Just drop the product CD in and click the Solid Edge button. By the way, you will not find a "Modify" option in Add/Remove Programs.

When uninstalling Solid Edge in preparation for installing a new version you may want to back up some files.
Typically files that the installer creates initially will be removed when you run the uninstaller.
Even if you have modified some of those files.

• Any templates will be removed from "C:\Program Files\Solid Edge V20\Template".
• The reports folder "C:\Program Files\Solid Edge V20\Template\Reports" contains saved settings for things like the Callout command.
• There is a text file named holes.text in "C:\Program Files\Solid Edge V20\Program" that stores threaded hole data.
• Custom.XML in the same folder stores the settings for the Hole Command dialog.

These are the main locations to consider.
And don't forget that many of these locations can be specified under Tools>Options>File Locations in the application.
Keep as many of these files as possible on a central server as you can.
