When considering the differences between using Imperial or Metric units in DraftSight, it’s important to know that there are two scenarios to consider. In this first of a two-part series, we’ll focus on making sure you’re set up correctly to draw in metric units from the start. In the second part, we’ll look at the methods and ramifications of changing your units to metric during the design phase of your work. I will lead with this spoiler alert: part one is more desirable than part two.

We've all done it...an in effort to save time, we've created some of the most ridiculous file names imagineable. This isn't exactly a problem if you're the only person working on designs, but what about your team? How are they supposed to know what's what? Coming in July, new seats of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD will make revision control a breeze, creating intuitive and simple naming updates to files, giving you more time for design!

For this SOLIDWORKS tutorial, I wanted to take you through the assembly of a toy I designed in SOLIDWORKS, this includes mating fixed and moving parts and applying smart fasteners to hole wizard features. If you would like to play around with this design, it is available to download here. All part files, including the accessories I created for the toy are in the download. You may notice that some of the toy parts already have dowels added to them, I did this to speed up the assembly for the

After teaching 1000’s of students and writing about SOLIDWORKS for over 25 years, David Planchard, emeritus WPI, is exploring SOLIDWORKS desktop and the integrated 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Through the 3DEXPERIENCE Works Lesson series, David helps educators understand the 3DEXPERIENCE Add-In with simple examples and industry practices. Why should I care about using the new Search tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform? Using the traditional Windows Explorer search tools are limited in a CAD environment

Those of us here at DraftSight love doing webinars and other live events. It allows us to show off what we think is the best choice for your 2D CAD platform, and we also get to interact with our users (and potential users) to get a feel for exactly what’s important to them. How do we do that? Typically, it’s through a question-and-answer period.

The increasing incidence of chronic diseases demands novel therapeutic solutions be developed rapidly and within tight budgets, yet be safe and efficacious enough to withstand stringent regulatory scrutiny. Moreover, the expectation of measurable long-term improvement in patient outcomes is driving the need for greater personalization of therapies. The second session of our live series of webinars, MODSIM with 3DEXPERIENCE Works, highlights the power of using a unified MODeling and SIMulation (

Speculation regarding predicted abilities—real or imagined—of artificial intelligence (AI) is all over the news and the internet. Perhaps due to media-driven sensationalism, a growing number of workers fear that AI technology might replace their jobs. This fear is unfortunate because AI is another tool in the toolbox—and a powerful one. When incorporated intelligently into the design process, AI has the potential to make your day-to-day work less tedious and much more productive.
