By designing in context, things can happen, that the reconstruction symbol is persistently displayed in the tree. It would seem, that everything is updated, and yet the symbol is still there. To make it easier to locate an unupdated reference, you can use the option . It is turned on by right-clicking at the highest level of the assembly. The operation in the context is automatically updated, If...
Wanting to show the work of a chain in SOLIDWORKS, roller mechanisms, gears etc. appropriate bonding must be used. However, the disadvantage of binding is the rigid connection of the components – not taking into account any play. This will be very clearly visible in the case of gear binding, rack and pinion mechanism or chain arrangement. But there is an undoubted advantage – the operation of the above-mentioned devices is very smooth, does not burden ...
Mates in assemblies can be defined in many ways. But did you know, that it can be done very quickly – with the Alt key. This combination allows you to add a tie without having to turn on the paperclip (mates). If you are adding a concentric mate this way – before you drop the component, with the TAB key you can change the alignment/anti-alignment. So if you were wondering (out) myself, for what...
Momentary Pin/Group is a right-click option in assemblies. Allows you to momentarily immobilize selected components – will be marked with an asterisk. The second useful option is grouping – in this case, the components are locked to each other. This in turn makes it easier to manipulate, move etc. components.
In SOLIDWORKS assemblies, you can reorganize components by dragging in the feature tree. This will change the order of components and move parts from the main level to subassemblies or vice versa. 1. If this symbol appears (1), you need to position the cursor above or below the component, because you can't drop the component at that point. 2. By dragging a component below another you will see....
