When replacing a component on an assembly sometimes we Drop additional component/s from the library and it will be useful it the components that are replacing existing components could be selected on the feature manager window as well. SolidworksAssemblies
How awful is the chain feature in the explode menu? I first hated it in 2009, but I figured I'd give Dessault a few years to make it usable before I started complaining. SolidworksAssemblies
To make a long story short when we have castings we will insert the casting part into an assembly. Then add assembly cuts to make the machining. I could save a lot of time making new configurations if I could add material. SolidworksAssemblies
I have attached one image SolidworksAssemblies
The question page does not correctly paint in my browser, however the forum software will not upload a screen capture in png format I have been asking questions since 2008 and this is the first time I have encountered this problem. SolidworksAssemblies
I am uploading the image separately to work around the broken forum software. SolidworksAssemblies
When I mirror a part in an assembly, I get a mirror which is also rotated. Command Manager>Assembly tab>Linear component pattern>Mirror components. Mirror part about Right plane. There is a message about resolving something but I dismiss it. (Mirror fails to show in the Feature Tree.) What have I missed? SolidworksAssemblies
Hi, In an assembly, I need to mirror components. Ref: 2012-03-08 pic01.jpg My question is; what is the pivot point? How does SWx define this point?
Anyone else find the new toolbox listing of to be awful? Why change it from ascending physical size order, e.g. M5, M6, M8 to a confusing numerical order, e.g. M1.6, M10, M12, M16, M2, M20. Makes fastener lists look completely illogical. SolidworksAssemblies
After making a drawing of an assy an cicular pattern went screwed up. about 50% of the parts in the pattern were gone! nice work!! nice software! SolidworksAssemblies
.....or not to use it. I am very leary of using Mirror Components in an assembly!! I usually add another instance of the part/sub-assembly and add the mates.
The Mate PropertyManager likes to stay open, and I can understand this but maybe it should have a thumbtack so you can leave it open or not? SolidworksAssemblies
Hi,I am a newbe and this is my first participation here. Have recently completed a moderately large assembly that has a fairly high bolt/ fastener count of various sizes and I was just contemplating the best way to produce a bolt list that I can forward to our supplier and thought I would ask how you manage this task and is there a way to automate this a little.

I find that if you reload sub-assmbly from the vault if there is a newer version of the sub-assembly in the vault with new parts in it, you don't get the new parts and so they show up as suppressed and your sub-assembly is screwed up.SolidworksAssemblies
In assembly, how to add global variable to design table? SolidworksAssemblies
In an assembly I've created some equations, no problem sofar. Before i assign them i can edit them all with the 'edit all'option, very comfortable. When i asign them to parts within my assembly i can't change therevalues in the 'edit all' window. SW says the part is read only but as far i know it isn't.
Hi ALL, we have one assembly which have no of parts with partconfigurations, now i want to call same assembly twice in a main assembly but thatassembly parts should have different conf in each call... is it possible if yes please tell me the proper way?.. thanks in advance,,, SolidworksAssemblies
Just curious what the largest assembly you have ever workedon is? (Number of parts, not file size) And then, what was/is your system configuration for it? I'll start: ~35,000 parts Dell Precision 390 Core 2 Duo 4 GB Ram FX1400 SW 2007SolidworksAssemblies
I don't know if this is place for this question, but heregoes. I am new to Solidworks and I am practicing assemblies. I have two flat plates, one will have four tapped holes thru it andthe other will have four counter bored features. My question is: how do I get the counter bores to be concentricwith the tapped holes in the first plate?
Few days before I had seen some projects which is uploadedthrough various members. They had some problem to complete theproject.They were asking solution for that. Lots of people hadgiven solution. Unfortunatly I forgot that link.
What does brackets around a part in an assembly mean? Example[1234part]..SolidworksAssemblies
I did a pack and go on an assembly with a lot of suppressedcomponents. The pack and go included all of them. Is there a way tosend someone (i.e., a vendor) only resolved parts in anassembly?SolidworksAssemblies
Hi, I am looking for an assembly of a document and photoscanner mecahnism complete with the drive, gears etc. I was lookingin the 3D Contetnt web page, but I did not find anything about.Does anybody has such an assembly? My e-mail isdjhammerheadbg@abv.bg. Thank you in advance!SolidworksAssemblies
Is it possible to have multiple copies of subassembliles inthe main assembly with the subassemblies having variable lenght?Ex. a pneumatic pistons in different position? Thanks, BenSolidworksAssemblies
