I'm having some difficulty learning about Standard Parts in Solid Edge. I found the little screw icon in the Parts Library, but it says the folder isn't configured or something. Fresh installation. Blank slate in more ways than one. Any help out there?

Disclaimer: I haven't done this myself since we're wrapping this into our Teamcenter install, but I've researched it a bit.
1) You need to download the Standard Parts files from Siemens first. You'll need the Machinery and Piping libraries, plus the language-appropriate admin.
https://support.sw.siemens.com/en-US/pr ... 7101459570
2) If you're a single user, things are simpler. You just set up a SQL database on your machine (SQLExpress is fine) and then run the Standard Parts configuration wizard. Rumor on the street is that it works better if you install SQL separately instead of letting the wizard do it in the background.
3) Configure Standard Parts. See attached PDF.
4)
*a miracle occurs*
5) Standard Parts is now perfectly implemented.

Oh, perfect. I was only missing a couple of things: the download, step 4 and step 6, oh, and step 3. Glad it wasn't more complex than that.
