I have already written about sorting bonds, About editing, about the exchange and about the outdated repair. Today a few words of reminder and supplementation. You can edit the selected bonds at the same time. Or all after clicking on the bond folder. Why do it? This may be useful during modification, because it is the same situation, As we add many bonds in a given session. All...
DXF file, which contains a lot of elements and additionally contains breaks and overlapping elements, It can be a problem. Instead of repairing the sketch, you can extrude the geometry using Selected Contours. Then you convert the resulting wall to a sketch and remove the solid. Ready. The sketch is repaired!
The command of the thickener on the surface card does not always work. This is a consequence of the curvature, and more precisely the minimum radius of the curvature. In case of, When the thickening does not work, then give up this tool. If you must receive a block, then you can use a certain trick. Copy the surface with a transfer/copy, and then create a block by pulling the profiles between the surfaces.
The curve through XYZ points is not a popular operation, And yet in the SOLIDWORKS version 2025 has gained a new functionality. Well, now you can put curves in relation to a chosen one than the default coordinate system. It matters so much, that such a curve cannot be moved. So you can immediately put it in the target place indicating a new one ...
Do you know, that the Solidworks Costing add -on also allows you to define a template for folding and multi -work parts? The general principle consists of using within the templates of the workpiece and sheet sheets within the templates. But in addition, you can define the costs of the operation from the assembly and the costs of purchasing parts. During the calculation itself, you can choose objects/parts for calculations and, as in other calculations,...
Modify Sketch available in the Tools menu > The sketch tools allow for: transfer, rotation, scaling and sketching of the sketch. I wrote about turning using the above command here: Rotate items vs. modify – sketch rotation To change the type of operation, move the cursor to the appropriate place. Left mouse button: attention! Moving the sketch will only be possible in a situation, When...
There is a number of tools on the drawings card, including an empty view and previously defined. Do you know what it can be useful for? Previously defined view, it is nothing but a predefined throw or throws, which can be saved in the template. After adding the view, specify the type of throw (up, down, Isometric ITP.), scale, how edges are displayed. You can of course ...
In the era of easy access to 3D scanners, Many companies use this possibility. However, we do not always care about classic reverse engineering – that is, recreating a scan model. Often, such a mesh model is only reference. What you can do then? I wrote about some possibilities below. How to perform operations on the grid without the addition of ScanTo3D? By completing this information,...
A frequent question on the forum and more – how to cut the cylindrical groove on the cylinder correctly? Learn three solutions. 1.Extrude the cut + Cut out by rotation + rounding. The easiest to implement, but at the same time the least universal solution. It consists. Finally, add rounding. 2. Cutout after....
By saving files in the so -called. open formats (neutral), You have access to many options. If you simply save SolidWorks in the *.step format – One file will be created. But if you create options during the recording and turn on: Export components of assembly as separate steppe files (…) – The program will be saved by each component file as *.STEP!
