While creating a drawing this may happen, that the elements presented in the projections do not look good. What I mean is that the geometry is not displayed properly, szczególnie tej skomplikowanej. Zdarzyło mi się tak kilka razy w przypadku rysunku sprężyn czy obudów o bardzo zmiennej krzywiźnie. W takim przypadku należy udać się do Właściwości dokumentu > Jakość obrazu i sprawdzić skuteczność trzech...
If you need to change the dimension reference – i.e. place, to which the dimension refers – then it is possible. You don't have to delete the dimension and insert it again… How to do it, I've written about this before. Replacing dimensions by dragging However, this method is not very convenient, if there are many dimensions close together, we have a mouse....
The thread designation in technical drawings does not always display correctly. This is achieved by setting the Thread marking display in the view properties. Generally, changing to High quality results in the correct display of the marking. I wrote “generally”, because it happened several times in my life, that it did exactly the opposite – i.e. the thread was displayed better with the Draft Quality option. Also read:...
Aesthetics in drawings is, first of all, a relative topic, and secondly, you can write an essay about it. Personally, I like to keep my documentation in order, and I work best with this form of drawing. Therefore, I will show you today, how to set the dimension e.g. diameter or radius, which is set to non-linear by default. After selecting the dimension on the left....
If balloons have been inserted in the assembly drawing, the question arises, whether it is possible to edit the operation? There is no direct Edit Links button, There is no editing icon in the operation tree either. But… By selecting Auto Link again on the Annotations tab, you can click new view to insert new links. Or you can click on a view with links already inserted....
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).
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....
It is possible to show selected configurations in the BOM element list. Of course you can see, which components are present in a given configuration. However, the problem is this, that you can see the QUANTITY column, but it is not known which configuration it applies to… Therefore, a good solution is to enable Show all configurations under the right button after clicking in the row with the quantity. From now on, before the quantity described....
Admit, that you happened to open a drawing, which was full of outdated dimensions? Outdated dimensions/annotations (also sketch relations in 3D models) They are olive green by default. Very good, that they are distinguished in a specific way, less good if you need to save the drawing, and it's full of outdated dimensions. There is a solution to this, just hide their visibility! Mark...
Quick dimensioning is a program functionality that automatically places a dimension on one side of the model. In the case of diameters, the program displays a manipulator that allows you to locate the dimension in one of the four quadrants of the system. You can also switch positions using the TAB key. Similarly, in the case of linear dimensions, you can switch the position using TAB.
