Learn how to define cables, create reusable macros, indicate the continuity of wires across multiple drawings, and depict custom components as simple black boxes. Define the cables to be used within a project and assign cable cores to specific component pins. Create macros for reusing specific parts of circuits or entire drawings. Depict the continuation of wires and equipotentials across drawings. Create black boxes for showing custom components with logical connectivity.
Learn how to draw wires to connect symbols and make changes on-the-fly to meet connection requirements. Draw single or multiple wires and modify them as needed. Use the Properties panel to instantaneously view and edit information. Use the Wire Style Manager to define and customize the wires for a project. Number newly drawn wires or selectively renumber existing wires.
Learn how to add components and symbols to your schematics and associate them with manufacturer parts. Add individual components manually and import them all at once from a spreadsheet. Insert component symbols and associate manufacturer parts. Use the options available in the Symbol Insertion panel and the Symbol Selector for classification and filtering.
Learn how to create different types of drawings and use their configuration settings to control various aspects. Create a new drawing and use Project Configuration to define its title block and mark. Create 2D cabinet layouts and place components. Generate drawings automatically based on inputs defined in their configuration managers.
Learn about various drawing types that you can create in SOLIDWORKS Electrical. Understand how Wiring Line Diagrams can be used to create high-level synoptic drawings. Use Scheme drawings to create detailed designs using electrical symbols, components and wires. Create Mixed Scheme drawings to combine high-level and detailed schematic information on one page.
Understand how to create and use SOLIDWORKS Electrical projects. Use project templates to create new projects. Modify project settings based on country or industry standards. Understand the use of configuration files for managing user-defined preferences. Create archives and snapshots to backup and share data.
Become familiar with the SOLIDWORKS Electrical product and its user interface. Understand the main elements of SOLIDWORKS Electrical. Get to know the user interface and learn how to customize it. Learn about user rights management. Create an environment archive to backup or share data.
In 2019, WPI Engineers had passion to build a competitive FSAE vehicle for Formula SAE Michigan. What they didn’t have is space. Assigned the former machinist’s closet the team successfully converted the space to design, build, test, widen the closet door, and get closer to competition. WPI completed all FSAE dynamic and static events in Michigan, rising 20 places and improving in each category.
Just trying to learn how this 3dExperience side of the forums goes together, feel free to add me and keep the questions and content coming! Electrical
I was using SWE 2019, when the first time I insert components and finished layout of a cable, then creating a .slddrw. BOM is OK. But the problem is, when I close the harness asm and drawing, and reopen, some part's property is lost. Any ideas? SolidworksElectrical
Do we have any special config to make wires route beyond the surface of components, then down to duct? Not route from the connection point, then go down inside components directly. SolidworksElectrical
Hello! Is it possible in SWE to display the designation, type and length of the cable on the wiring diagram? Now the designation of the cable is as in Figure 1. Is it possible to make a display of the cable as in Figure 2 (example from another program).
Recently, Connected Users remain connected after closing the project. See attachment. Has anyone seen this before. Is there a function of the software where I can kick people from projects?
For anyone who has updated to 2021 SP1, has there been any major issues? SolidworksElectrical
I can't route in 3D with SolidWorks route option but I can route with the 3D sketch option. SolidWorks gives me a message that it can't find the From/To file. I'm not sure if the cause of this problem is solidworks electrical but it seems that the 3D sketch routing is working just fine. Is there anything I can do to get the From/To file? SolidworksElectrical
When I last saved an environment archive, the report states there is one Symbol that failed to process. Is there a way to find out which symbol is having issues? SolidworksElectrical
Axlr8r Formula Racing SW Education sponsors over 4,000 teams a year worldwide. I recently had the pleasure to virtually meet the team leaders of Axlr8r Formula Racing from IIT Delhi India, Deepansu Kaushik and Vivek Mahindrakar. Axlr8r Formula Racing is the first Indian Formula Student team ever to pass all five scrutinies at Formula Student Germany in electric category. After many trials and tribulations, this team has shown resilience, perseverance, and the importance of working as a team to
Hello. I would like some help. I need to insert an excel spreadsheet in a location on my wiring diagram, but I don't find an option for that or to create tables. Can you help me?
There is currently no way to show / hide Wire Marks, Labels and Cable Cores Texts. Has anyone found a way around this? Right clicking and then left clicking repeatedly for this simple task is so tedious and time consuming on a huge project. SolidworksElectrical
hello,guys. version is 2018. the font of default font of new symbol template has two kinds (standard & TAHOMA_STANDARD),everytime I draw a new symbol, I have to add customized font to text style manager, is there any way to modify the default property? on the other hand similar problem when drawing schematic sheet. SolidworksElectrical
Hi team, SWE does give a side window for user to browser symbols by its location. wondering is there a similar way for function? Regards, Roland SolidworksElectrical
Hello, In SW Electrical, I can change the root of the components in the classifications manager. But there is a manner to retag all the components in my project with this modification (Ex: Change for all relays the root K by CR)? I tried to use "Renumber Marks" with all available options and nothing change. Thanks Emmanuel SolidworksElectrical
In our last video, we learned about how to create a routing path and route cables along the path in the SOLIDWORKS Electrical. In our last and final tutorial, we will learn how to flatten the route, create reports and draw from the flattened route. Thank you for watching this SOLIDWORKS Electrical FSAE Tutorial series. Find the other SOLIDWORKS Electrical tutorials in this series here.
By now you have learned how to open a SOLIDWORKS Electrical project and associate components to the SOLIDWORKS part. In today’s tutorial, we will learn how to create a routing path and route cables along the path in SOLIDWORKS Electrical. In the next and final tutorial, we will learn how to flatten the route, create reports and create a drawing from the flattened route. Find the other SOLIDWORKS Electrical tutorials in this series here.
