In sheet metal, you can chamfer or fillet using the Corners operation. Do you know how this operation differs from the classic rounding/chamfering? 1. corners. A faction corner (chamfer)/Cut the corner (rounding) are Sheet Metal features, which allow you to perform the above operations after selecting faces or edges. If you select the entire wall(Y) – the program will collect all the corners. If, however...

You are suffering from lack of disk space? Check out these places.
SOLIDWORKS is a powerful program. Since when is it not delivered on DVDs, download it from the manufacturer's website and then install it. The installer takes up a lot of space (depending on the version), and if someone has several versions in parallel – the worse… It's worth looking at the folder from time to time: C:\UsersCADvantageDocumentsSOLIDWORKS Downloads to remove installation files of uninstalled versions or to...
Reset sketch visibility will show hidden sketches
In a weldment, the skeleton sketch is not momentarily hidden by default, when it will be used in the operation. Suppose, that we make a drawing from such a structure. Then the sketches will be visible in each of the projections. Of course, you can hide them – but separately in each view. Theoretically, you could just globally turn off the visibility of sketches, but we hide them all, so I advise against it. Sketches...
Motion blur when saving animations from PhotoView 360
If you have the PhotoView add-on 360 and you will create an animation, you can choose one of two options when saving: Ekran SOLIDWORKS PhotoView 360 The difference is this, that by saving the screen the program captures what you see in the program. However, using PhotoView 360 each frame is rendered. So pay attention to how many frames per second there are and how long the video lasts. Personally...
Offset several unconnected edges in one operation
A seemingly trivial thing – edge offset, but unconnected – if you mark it – preview disappears. As a result, it cannot be done all at once, so many people pull away in a few steps. This method is effective, but it has one major drawback – many control parameters are created. Now imagine that you need to change the offset, e.g. three...
Difference between edge mode and ULW
As you know, in SOLIDWORKS there are several modes for displaying edges. default – Shaded with edges or the most efficient – shaded. Today I will show you the difference between Wireframe and Hidden Lines Visible with two examples (ULW). Many people notice, these last two most inefficient modes are similar and differ only in the cut of the lines obscured by...
How to link configuration name to dimension?
As you know, Excel allows you to create advanced configuration tables. The undoubted advantage of such a solution is the possibility of using formulas. For example, I have a collar, where I want to display a combined column with outer and inner dimension as configuration name. To do this, you need to glue two columns into a name using a formula: CONCATENATE(text1;[text2];…) or characters & and “. remember, that even a space has to...
