Every SOLIDWORKS user has a basic understanding of how file references work. We typically make a part then create a drawing that shows views of this part. When creating the views on the drawing, what is really happening is the drawing views are looking at the actual part file and displaying it in a way that is based on our view settings. We say that the drawing references the part file.

One would think that the title of this article should be a no-brainer. The fact of the matter is that the ownership of this vital aspect of electronic design is not only cloudy, but it will become murkier in the next 10 years. This murkiness is also an opportunity for mechanical engineers who aren’t afraid to expand their horizons. In order to understand the current climate, we have to look at the division of labor that took place in electronic design about 40 years ago.

As of SOLIDWORKS 2018, we are able to calculate bounding box for Parts only. But from SOLIDWORKS 2019 onwards Bounding box can also calculate for Assembly and Sub Assembly. This new feature tool will be more helpful to evaluate the size of packing material and it is mostly for dispatch departments in the Industries. Let’s see how quick I calculate the Packaging Size [

Wenn Sie Ingenieur in einem kleinen oder mittelständischen Unternehmen sind, ist es gut möglich, dass Sie ohne ein Produktdatenmanagementsystem (PDM) arbeiten. Das mag daran liegen, dass viele die Implementierung einer Datenmanagementlösung wie SOLIDWORKS PDM für zeitaufwändig halten. Weit gefehlt. Es ist nämlich gerade die bestehende Vorgehensweise, mit der Sie sich zusätzliche Arbeit aufbürden.

Understand where geometry needs to be to achieve your design goal based on given loads and fixtures. Design Guidance will give you an insight of what geometry satisfies those conditions. Use sketches or 3D geometry to define the connection points and force conditions. Select existing geometry to avoid or leave intact. Choose the resolution required to optimize for time or result. Use the results as a guide to create the design, or automatically smooth the output.

SOLIDWORKS 2019 is here and it has brought some great improvements to SOLIDWORKS Visualize. You may have already come across the headline enhancement – the denoiser – that is using machine based learning to achieve production ready images up to 10x faster than before, but that isn’t the only thing to be excited about. There’s too much to cover here so if you’d like to learn more about video textures, improved usability, physics simulations and more then head over to our webcast. For now let’s

Why...does SolidWorks, when I initiate a cut, more often than not go away from the part and give me the "intended cut does not intersect the model?? If the software knows where the model is, why doesn't it default to the valid direction??

I have a solidworks exam in a little while and I can not for the life of my figure out why my parts mass is over by about 200 grams. I will attach the file in a sec, currenty typing on mac. Here is the part that I made along with the drawing I was given.

create layers that are more specific and other than what is listed in the drop down of the layers mapping window? Let me see....I think that it is ctrl click and then you can select the balloons and then change them in the property manager. The layer thing should be about the same....I have never needed to use layers on my drawings....but they are there to use as you see fit.
