SOLIDWORKS PCB Training Camp While the loads of data pasting capabilities of the schematic symbol wizard gave users something to cheer about, the rookie of the year in SOLIDWORKS PCB 2018 turned out to be the IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard. This thing has some fancy footwork! It’s fast feet can get your library in shape for the big show and is a huge help in library buildup as it renders your footprints while also building a 3D model all in one wizard! Watch how the IPC Compliant Footprint

Welcome back to this multi-part blog series featuring Mike Sabocheck and his efforts to outsmart his local squirrels using SOLIDWORKS xDesign. If you need to catch up, please read the part 1 and part 2 first. In the last blog the original design I came up with needed to be changed based on my wife Tracy’s input. She wanted the feeder support arms to rotate independently from one another and not have them stationary.

Hello to all, Welcome to the new edition of the SOLIDWORKS Support Monthly News! This monthly news blog is co-authored by members of the SOLIDWORKS Technical Support teams worldwide. Keep an eye on those GDI’s By Tor Iveroth Most processes (applications) in Windows that display graphical objects and formatted text use up a system resource called Graphical Device Interface (GDI) handles. By default, each process has a limit of 10,000 GDI handles.

Vor Kurzem habe ich an einer SOLIDWORKS Anwenderveranstaltung teilgenommen und wurde von mehreren Teilnehmern gefragt: „Kann man sagen, dass xDesign CAD in der Cloud ist?“. Diese Frage lässt mich immer wieder lächeln, denn SOLIDWORKS xDesign geht über ein browserbasiertes Online-3D-CAD weit hinaus. Ja, Sie erhalten innovative 3D-CAD-Funktionen, ja, alles läuft im Browser, ja, auf jedem Gerät, ja, Sie können es sofort und ohne Softwareinstallation nutzen, ja, Sie verwenden immer die neueste

Utilizing SOLIDWORKS Reference Geometry for Complex Designs For basic SOLIDWORKS models, users can often complete designs by leveraging only the default planes and available model geometry. However, as the complexity of designs increases, it often becomes necessary to create and utilize reference geometry to produce models with appropriate design intent. Reference geometry includes planes, axes, coordinate systems, reference points, the center of mass, and mate preferences. In this article, we’

SWIFT = SolidWorks International Forum Team How many times do you see a great thread get trashed or hijacked for various reasons and I'll take the "Stand" and say I'm the worst for doing that.. So when I'm acting stupid tell me to trash it here, get it?

It is entirely possible that the Sketch is before the hole in the history tree, while the MH CB Feature is after it.. So when you edit the sketch, it basically rolls back to before the hole. I would assume that in a non-flat tree setup, if you placed something before a feature with an absorbed sketch, that something would automatically be placed before both the feature AND the sketch.

I teach a sophomore level mechanical engineering CAD class using Solidworks. I created a part for a quiz and saw that a couple of students were getting the same "wrong" answer for the part mass. When I looked more closely at the issue I realized that the variation was a result of modeling technique.
