In 2014, the mirror part feature can only transfer custom properties to the new part if it is multi-body. An unwanted weldment feature is also created in mirrors of single-body parts. Workaround: 1. cut original part in half 2. mirror part 3. delete cut SolidworksParts And Features

I am trying to add a text suffix to an equation value in acustom property as I would normally do with a dimension value (IE:mm, in etc.). The problem is as soon as I add the suffix (in thiscase a tolerance) the evaluated value reverts to the equationitself (please see screenshot). Can this be done with an equation?

Hi I'm looking through this part of a bicycle frame, which has the geometry laid out on a separate sketch. Each feature has a 'On Edge' relation to the geometry sketch. Does anyone know how it's created? These sketches don't seem to be derived from the geometry sketch.

Hi, I set the feature as extrude with thin feature at the beginning but later I change my mind and want it to be solid extrude, but it seems it cannot be unchecked(the checkbox is grey as the attached pic shows). Does it mean they are actually not interchangeable or I just do it incorrectly? Thanks SolidworksParts And Features

During my normal morning search for news I bumped into this presentation on a 'new CAD'. The presentation isn't really that good but what it shows impressed me. I hope you think the same. It looks to be game changing.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mit-developed-plugin-makes-cad-110300143.html SolidworksParts And Features

I'm trying to copy and move / rotate this part and set the height above the first part. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I tried xing out to come back to the start of this feature, but thats not happening. When I reopen the file, it takes me back to the second part of the feature.
