Unusual, structure of materials adapted to the needs of the company

solidworks material structure

Do you know, że… ?

The program has three categories of materials: material database installed with the program (read-only), Sustainability material database (green) oraz ewentualnie nasza własna baza – jeżeli ją utworzymy, the folders are blue.

I wanted to write in a few words how to create a new structure other than the standard structure. And it looks like this as standard, that is:

  • new library
    • new category
      • new material

If you want to create a different structure, edit the C file:\ProgramDataSolidWorksSOLIDWORKS 20xxCustomized materials.sldmat.

First, folder ProgramData belongs to the hidden / system category so it is hidden by default. You won't see it until you turn on showing such folders in the folder options.

File *.sldmat.możesz edytować w dowolnym edytorze testowym – np. MS Notepad. Always before editing make a copy safety!

Wanting to create the following structure:

  • new library
    • new category
      • new category
        • new material
        • new material
        • new material
      • new category
        • new material
        • new material

Edit the file and create the following entries ending in the appropriate place with the tag

materials
