For many years, SOLIDWORKS has had the option to automatically select edges during Fillet. With version 2025 this possibility also exists in Chamfer. It's about this, that after selecting the edges (not walls) the selection toolbar appears, where you can choose from the available options. Of course you can do this, what was automatically selected add other faces/edges/features etc....
The latest SOLIDWORKS handbook 2025 now available>>>! https://solid-podreczniki.pl/produkt/solidworks-2025-modelowanie-czesci-zlozenia-i-rysunki/ SOLIDWORKS 2025 – part modeling | Assemblies | Drawings It's over 750 pages of exercise materials, dozens of examples discussed step by step, lots of tips and tricks to make your work easier. In addition, selected new features between versions were discussed 2020 (when I released the previous ebook) and the current one 2025. Fundamentals of modeling. Advanced modeling....
DimXpert is a collection of tools, used to insert dimensions and tolerances in parts and assemblies. It allows you to annotate models manually or automatically. Everything is based on predefined settings in the file properties. The inserted annotations can be used in the TolAnalyst add-in for analyzing tolerance chains. It is now possible to download the sketch dimension. To do this, you need to....
Having doubts about the symmetry of the detail, you can use the Symmetry Checker tool. The program will display Asymmetric walls in the results – if they occur, which proves it, that, however, the 3D model is not fully symmetrical. There can be two types of asymmetric walls: cutting and non-cutting. Cutting ones are these, which is intersected by the plane indicated as symmetry, a...
Dimensioning is one of the main activities performed in the technical documentation of parts. To illustrate, here is an example. The dimensioning of the edges is somewhat problematic, which are located “deeper” and are covered by the longer edge that is closer. Of course, these are several options, e.g. ability to hide parts/objects. You can use filtering – this is another method. Możesz w końcu obrócić model...
There are such situations, where the choice of tool is important. An example would be a fillet in a tee-style element. Any option not to use, it won't work out well… In such an arrangement, it can be finished in an elegant way? Using surfaces. You need to cut out a fragment and use a surface extrusion or surface by border, you can create....
I am pleased to inform all, that I am finishing work on the latest SOLIDWORKS manual 2025 – part modeling | Assemblies | Drawings. SOLIDWORKS was released very late this year 2025 SP0, which unfortunately resulted in this, that I didn't make it before Christmas as planned. But I'm making an assumption, that it would be better to refine this e-book, than to release it in a hurry....
When you draw with a 3D sketch in 3D, you can divide the window into two or four. In particular, it makes your work easier if you draw with a Spline and manipulation is a bit difficult. Additionally, by right-clicking on a Spline point, you can enable the Show sketchbook triad option, which makes it easier to move such a point. Splitting the window results in this, that by grabbing the spline handle....
The Universal Coupling found on the Mechanical Mates tab allows you to make the rotation of one component depend on the rotation of another. What is important, the connected elements do not have to be concentric. E.g, you can link the movement of one lever to the movement of the other. But the most useful thing is the gimbal linkage. Interestingly, you can enable the Define connection point option in the binding. She is responsible for....
When preparing models for visualization, we often perform certain operations, to make this task easier. I'll show you today, how you can make colorful inscriptions on the surface faster. It's not about the so-called. decals – i.e. overlaid graphics with a specific type of mapping, only physical edges. If you use a dividing line to make the inscription, you have to manually select the walls to be bounded by edges. Often these are....
