Sometimes when I have a large assembly with lots of mates Ithought it would be great that I could change the color of one ortwo important mates that might drive the assembly. I know I canchange the description but could I change the text color to reallymake it stand out?SolidworksParts And Features
Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and have been keeping safe. A quick question/issue I am having. I have set my part template file to be Z-Up, however, when selecting "normal to" for the front plane on the feature manager, it flips the view 180 degrees compared to the front view in the orientation window/view-cube. Any ideas on how to rectify this?
SolidWorks 2014 has added Conic Section tools in the sketcher and the fillet tool. Now you can create conic sketch entities that are automatically tangent. The fillet tool now, instead of just doing circular (radius) fillets, will also do conic fillets. http://www.swtuts.com/?p=742 SolidworksParts And Features

I am attempting to create a chamfer as close to the first image as possible. I am attempting to utilize the partial edge parameters with the chamfer feature, but by utilizing this feature the chamfer no longer fades out. Is there a way to force the chamfer to fade out like it does before utilizing the partial edge parameter? SolidworksParts And Features

Got this idea from Blake Courter of SpaceClaim. https://twitter.com/#!/bcourter http://grabcad.com/library/teddy-bear-collection How would you go about modeling a Teddy Bear corner. The legs are 2 inches with 1 inch fillets. These are my results in SolidWorks 2012 using a Surface Fill.

I am attempting to create the twisted bar in the image above. Not something I've done before and am struggling with the most efficient way of doing so. The twist needs to look like metal that has been twisted, while that seems obvious, most of the techniques I have tried produce an artificial look. Any suggestions how I should go about making a part such as this?
Hey all, I'm a little new to some of the more intricate parts of Solidworks. I was given a .prt file of a scanned helmet, and I need to draw around it to create something I can actually work with. I'm not entirely sure how to do so. Would anyone have some wisdom to give?
This keeps happening somewhat at random, but the part I am currently working on becomes grayed out after saving. It almost resembles a .step file but it was created entirely in Solidworks 2020. I can still edit the part, but for some reason the defined black lines disappear. I attached a normal part to show the difference.
I just came across solution S-076397 in the knowledge base which includes a ZIP file of configurable weldment profiles for the ANSI, AS, BSI, CISC, DIN, GB, ISO and JIS standards. The configurable models are NOT available in the design library These are still the old unconfigurable versions. SolidworksParts And Features
Hello guys, attached is a file of my fuselage and the vertical stabilizer. When creating loft for the vertical stabilizer Solidworks is not recognizing it as one whole tangent surface. After creating the stabilizer with surface loft, there is a line dividing the tangent surface into two separate surfaces. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Hi all, Quite often I work with mold files from customers. After saving off the assembly as a part file I want to remove all appearance properties (a lot of these molds come in with every part a different colour - really hard to work with). It sometimes takes over an hour for the command to run. Any idea why?

Hey people, Seasons greetings. I just found the following and thought I'd share: Involute Spur & Helical Gears in SolidWorks - YouTube It shows how to make involute spur and helical gears. Seems pretty good. Happy New Year GA SolidworksParts And Features
Hi I have a part with some features rolled back, but a rolled back sketch remains visible regardless how far back the roll back is: As you can see, Croquis2 remains visible even when the Cut Extrude 8 feature is rolled back. Does anyone know why this might be the case? I've attached the part file. Thanks SolidworksParts And Features

Hello everyone. I have this vase in stl format. I cut the bottom, but I don't know how to cut the ribs to be tangent like at the top. How to do that?
Hi, I want both edges to come together at the point and I'm unsure if the variable chamfer using hold line is the right method. I feel as though a loft wouldn't look clean and thought a cut would be easiest, but I am clearly open to suggestions. Thanks in advance SolidworksParts And Features
Here's a good one. Create a coordinate system. Select the coordinate system, go to insert->reference geometry->plane. What do you get?
I used hole wizard but we can only select screws and bolts.It would be very useful if we add bearing selection from the toolbox to it. For example, I can select f608zz, and hole wizard makes a mounting hole for it. SolidworksParts And Features
