CircuitWorks to dodatek dostępny w wyższych pakietach SOLIDWORKS, który usprawnia współpracę między projektowaniem mechanicznym a elektronicznym. Pozwala szybko przenosić projekty PCB między ECAD a MCAD, dzięki czemu integracja elektroniki z modelem 3D staje się znacznie prostsza.
Copying descriptions in a drawing by hand is a waste of time and the risk of errors. If your model has repeating elements, use Note Arrangement. It's a function, which automates the description of details, maintaining their full consistency. 1. Linear Note Arrangement Perfect for writing along frames, profiles or rows of ribs, generally elements arranged linearly. How it's working? You select a note, you determine the direction....
In the design of cutting tools, there is often a need for inspection, what shape we will obtain during milling - before we even move to the CAM environment. Although SOLIDWORKS does not offer a direct machining simulation tool in the CAD module, there is a way, to "preview" the profile generated by the tool. The key here is the Silhouette Elements command. Sylwetka is an ideal tool when designing packaging. Why Sylwetka....
How to open a baking sheet immediately when unfolded?
When working with imported files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid), one of the most annoying problems is color fighting. You want to apply your company's varnish, and the model stubbornly displays the gray or bright plastic from the original CAD system. In this post I will show you, how to effectively clean the model from unwanted appearances, why Remove All Appearances sometimes fails and how....
An option appears when opening DWG/DXF files in SOLIDWORKS “Import as reference”. Although we most often associate it with the import of 2D drawings, worth knowing, that its operation is also important during normal work in parts. What does this option do?? Create Reference Sketch - The sketch is locked for editing. It can be used as a base for modeling,...
Working with large assemblies can be a challenge, but the appropriate selection of the opening mode can shorten the charging time even several times.
Toolbox in SOLIDWORKS can be an ally or... a source of mess. It all depends, how you will configure the way information about components is presented. In your user settings you will find the Display Options section, who decides this, what data Toolbox will forward to FeatureManager, configuration, file properties and, above all, to the BOM. These are hidden options, but their impact on....
Merge Meshes in SOLIDWORKS - A small feature, big difference. Working with mesh data in SOLIDWORKS can be demanding, especially when we import models from different sources or 3D scans. In such situations, we often receive objects divided into several separate grids. This not only makes further processing difficult, but it can also slow down the work with the file. Exactly...
Automatic counting of surfaces to be painted - no macros, no cost, but with your head! Many SOLIDWORKS users still live in this belief, that automation means one thing: macros, macros and more macros. And almost macros, it's time, costs, maintenance, updates and all that stuff, which is often discouraging, before we even start. Meanwhile, in SOLIDWORKS you can....
