In SOLIDWORKS, there are three tools for examining motion or creating animations. Each of them has a different purpose, although in a sense you could say, that some of them are convergent – this is the ability to animate movement. Animation Animation is an essential tool, available in every version of SOLIDWORKS. It allows you to create animations in the assembly as well as in parts....
The fill pattern is a very functional pattern operation. Fill pattern with circular arrangement from the corner Performance comparison in sketch and feature patterns You can use it to duplicate your own shapes or use (in the case of cutouts) of four built-in. In the case of a Circular formation, you can choose from two options: 1. Target spacing – define the angular spacing on individual....
Sometimes, after installing SOLIDWORKS, you may not see the Design library folder on the right side. This is a very important folder in my opinion, because there are a lot of useful things there. In such a situation? This folder should be added. Nevertheless, there is a problem. Well, the folder is located in the ProgramData directory, which is invisible by default. So first....
If it happened to you, that the program prevents you from leaving the unfolded mode in sheet metal – check below, what can you do about it. Possibility number one is simply reconstruction (CTRL+B) or the so-called. forced reconstruction (CTRL+Q). Another option is to suppress the layout in the feature tree, because unfolding the sheet is nothing more than extinguishing the Unfolded Model operation. So...
You can control tolerances in the design table as follows: In a part, you can control dimension tolerances in sketches and features. In assemblies you can control the so-called dimension tolerances. assembly operation. This includes bindings (angular or distance), assembly feature cuts and holes, and component patterns. You cannot control the dimension tolerances of a component contained in an assembly. Column header in a table...
Do you know, that by clicking on the approved sketch you can pull it out using the arrow. Of course, a better technique is to use the sketch directly (without committing) in basic operations. However, you can confirm the sketch and select the extrusion from the graphics window. However, the prerequisite is that Instant3D is enabled in the Operations tab. Instant2D vs Instant3D Comparison So by extruding the sketch in a specific direction,...
Technical drawings often contain a lot of information. Sometimes browsing or searching for necessary details takes a long time. Do you know, that you can search for various notes in drawings, links, etc. – general annotations? After selecting Find and Replace Annotations, you must refine your search criteria (or replacement).
You can insert multiple planes at the same time, both linearly and angularly arranged. There are many applications, one of them may be preparation for framing sketches. But… thus inserting planes, will be created in the tree as each independent. So after approval, it is not possible to edit the spacing or quantity “in formation”. Meet my solution. Instead of the starting plane....
The new Create Multibody Part operation converts the entire assembly into a separate single multibody part, which can be linked to the parent assembly. You can transfer, among others:. objects, axes, planes or material. However, the issue of contextual connection depends on selecting the Break connection to the original assembly option. This works similarly to derived parts (or mirror parts), where you can choose...
We use various effective techniques to model advanced shapes. However, you cannot always use different SOLIDWORKS features interchangeably. An example is drawings on the surface, where you need to draw something around. This has applications in bottle design, in the processing of scanned elements, in repairing rounding (by filling with a surface) and many other areas. If you draw a sketch on a plane and perform a Projection....
