In the BOM table, both in assemblies and in drawings, you can choose to strike out the missing item in the material list option. It works this way, that the element removed from the assembly will be visible in the table with a strikethrough. Select the appropriate option when inserting the BOM table. Detailed options include:. numbering, whether it should be continued or replaced...

Visualize – when opening: Appearance vs. Component/part
With version 2024 SOLIDWORKS has been deprived of the PhotoView add-in 360. Certainly, for some users, the multitude of Visualize options is overwhelming, ale pozwala to uzyskać bardziej realistyczne wizualizacje. Dziś porównam w skrócie dwie opcje występujące podczas otwierania. 1. Komponent/część/obiekt pozwala na dostęp do pełnej struktury złożenia lub części wieloobiektowej. Do plusów z pewnością należy możliwość...
Additional useful options in the Move/Copy operation
The Move/Copy operation is widely used in modeling multibody parts. The rotation and carrying handle was changed some time ago. In SOLIDWORKS version 2023 further changes appeared. Otóż wielkości liczbowe definiujące obrót lub przeniesienie stały się parametryczne! W związku z tym można je konfigurować lub sterować nimi za pomocą równań. W zakładce Obróć dodano możliwość...
Difficult dimensioning in drawings and available options
Everyone, whoever makes drawings in SOLIDWORKS has certain observations. Thin-walled elements or such will be particularly problematic, where there are lots of invisible edges. The problem appears when, for example:. dimensioning, because the program tries to attach a dimension to each edge. However, you can remedy this by turning off the options below – i.e. selecting in ULU and ULW modes. Additionally, you can increase....
Break in the corner, that is, the impact of the Refer to endpoint option
In lofted sheet metal sections as Bent between a circle and a rectangle, if you control the Number of bends, there may be a strange pause. Jest ona konsekwencją tego, iż górny łuk zbiega się na dole do jednego punktu. Uwzględniając grubość, promienie oraz liczbę gięć po prostu te ściany się tam nie mieszczą. Jest jednak opcja Odnieś do punktu końcowego, domyślnie...
Re-inserting the sketch on the plane
Inserting a sketch on a plane is one of the basic activities, from which we start modeling. It happens often, that we do not click the Sketch icon right away and this action must be repeated. I am aware of, that after selecting a plane, you can immediately activate some sketch commands (circle, line etc.), but many people include a sketch, to access mouse gestures...
Modify cut list IDs
For each cut list in the cut list folder, you can generate cut list IDs based on cut list attributes. This also applies to multi-body parts that are not a typical welded structure! So you can modify identifiers e.g. when designing furniture or plastic parts. There is one condition – you need to create a list of items...
FilletXpert – Change and Corner
At the very top in the Fillets window you can choose between options: Manual and FilletXpert Fillets. There are, among others:. Change and Corner tabs. I'll show you below, what are they for?. Change – is an option that allows you to display roundings with different values in one window. Additionally, you can choose a particular one, e.g. wall, which was rounded off as one of many....
external references – filter by state
In contextual design, there are several statuses of external references. The most popular is, of course, the active tagged context – > po nazwie części. Jednak istnieją jeszcze inne symbole, including: przerwane odniesienie oznaczone “x”, zablokowane z oznaczeniem “*” lub poza kontekstem “?” . Przerwij odniesienie i zablokuj odniesienie w złożeniu Przeglądając odniesienia całego złożenia (po kliknięciu prawym...
Parallel rib vs. perpendicular and linear vs. natural
Additional, less known options are related to the direction of rib extrusion and its shape. The first option concerns the choice between the direction parallel or perpendicular to the sketch plane. you can tell, that basically a parallel rib is not applicable, but sometimes it is more convenient to draw a sketch on an existing plane in symmetry and extrude parallel than to create an additional plane to....
