Missing drawing
Flags components that require a drawing but have no associated Draft before release.
EdgeRelease checks drawings, revisions, sheet-metal flat patterns and critical properties before you publish. Then it builds a clean PDF / DXF / STEP / BOM release pack in one flow.
A PDF existing does not mean the drawing is current. A DXF existing does not mean the flat pattern is valid. A BOM existing does not mean the metadata is complete.
EdgeRelease is designed around one question: “Is this assembly genuinely ready to hand to manufacturing?”
Focused on failure modes that create rework, scrap, production delays or embarrassing supplier calls.
Flags components that require a drawing but have no associated Draft before release.
Detects drawings whose model views are stale before they become released PDFs.
Checks sheet-metal parts for usable, current flat patterns before DXF generation.
Validates Part Number, Description, Material and company-defined mandatory fields.
Finds mismatches between model, drawing and release naming before files leave engineering.
Generate PDFs, DXFs, STEPs, BOM and a release report into one structured package.
No cloud upload. No heavyweight PLM project. One clear preflight before manufacturing handoff.
| Typical export macro | EdgeRelease | |
|---|---|---|
| Batch PDF / DXF / STEP | Yes | Yes |
| Missing drawing detection | Rarely | Yes |
| Out-of-date drawing checks | No | Yes |
| Flat pattern preflight | Sometimes | Yes |
| Revision consistency | No | Yes |
| Release manifest / audit report | No | Yes |
| Core promise | Save clicks | Release with confidence |
We are looking for a small group of mechanical design teams using Solid Edge in real production environments. Beta users influence the checks, release rules and workflow before launch.
Three short questions help us prioritize teams with real manufacturing-release pain.
