How to use Reference Sketches as an Alternative to Top-Down Assembly Modeling in SOLIDWORKS
Переглядів 6293 місяці тому
This video demonstrates how to use Reference Sketches as an alternative to top-down assembly modeling in SOLIDWORKS. To start, I have a PCB assembly and designed this PCB shield melt component in the context of the assembly as a virtual component. I could save it as an individual file, but it would still have all of these external references in its features pointing to other components of the a...
Sheet Metal Slot Propagation in SOLIDWORKS 2024
Переглядів 4954 місяці тому
If an assembly has parts connected with a Tab and Slot feature in SOLIDWORKS, the slot can be propagated to other corresponding parts. In the example in this video, the assembly is made up of three sheet metal parts that are connected with taps and slots. To demonstrate, I copied the front sheet metal and mated it to the other side. The part has tabs in it, but the adjacent parts don't have any...
Opening a Drawing in Detailing Mode in SOLIDWORKS
Переглядів 3694 місяці тому
Detailing mode has been in SOLIDWORKS for a long time. The idea is we want to make changes to a drawing like adding a note, or a symbol, but we don't need the model data for that. Detailing Mode doesn't load the part in assembly data. As a result, the drawing opens much faster. In the example for this video, there's a lot of information in this drawing on multiple sheets, but it opened in just ...
Automatic Chamfering in SOLIDWORKS CAM
Переглядів 2984 місяці тому
SOLIDWORKS CAM can automatically recognize sharp edges for chamfering and automatically create the operation and Toolpath. In the options, check "Curve Features for Chamfering". Extract Machineable Features will create a curve feature. The curve feature identifies all sharp edges, and the size of the chamfer can be modified.

Breadcrumbs in Large Design Review Mode in SOLIDWORKS
Переглядів 6544 місяці тому
We have great news for SOLIDWORKS users, and specifically for SOLIDWORKS users of large assemblies. Starting with SOLIDWORKS 2024, enhancements are being added to the software with every Service Pack. Some of the enhancements that we suggested were part of the top ten list for 3DEXPERIENCE. Let's look at the assembly in this example. It's a medium-sized assembly of about 4365 components, and it...

Import a SOLIDWORKS Composer Assembly into a PowerPoint Project
Переглядів 5924 місяці тому
In today's video, we are going to demonstrate how you can embed a SOLIDWORKS Composer player directly into a PowerPoint project. To begin, the first thing to do is to pay attention to your naming convention in Composer because the custom buttons inside PowerPoint will link to these different views. In this example, I've got two different views. One name is titled "default" and one is named "BOM...
Create a Drawing Template with a Cut List Properties Note in SOLIDWORKS
Переглядів 6115 місяців тому
This video demonstrates how to create a sheet metal drawing template with notes that are linked to the cut-list property that populates almost automatically when you use the template. In this example, I've got a sheet metal part, and I haven't created any special custom properties for it. I have assigned a material, so I'm going to create a drawing from this. To do that I'll use the A_size temp...
Setting the Origins for Multi-setup in SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard
Переглядів 2615 місяців тому
This part has been programmed in SOLIDWORKS CAM and there are two setups. One for the holes on the top and one for the round pocket on the side. The origin may be different for each setup. We can control that. Setting the origin can be a challenge when it's away from the part. The coordinate system has been defined in the corner of the part. If it needs to be away from the part, all we need is ...
How to Add Stock Material in SOLIDWORKS CAM
Переглядів 2935 місяців тому
In SOLIDWORKS CAM, we select the material that is used in the calculation of feeds and speeds. The default list contains about thirty materials. That list can be added to by selecting from over 1100 materials in the database. To do this, launch the Technology Database then navigate to Feed and Speed. Select the Feed and Speed Editor. Select Install from Archive. Select the material you want fro...
Basics of Coordinate Entry in Draftsight: Adding Cortesian, Polar and Direct Distance Coordinates
Переглядів 805 місяців тому
This video demonstrates the basics of coordinate entry in Draftsight. In this example, I have a block of a kitchen sink and I want to make some copies of this block several different ways. I can use a Cartesian Coordinate entry where I enter an x-value comma and a Y-value. If I'm working in 3D, a Z value. If I'm not working in 3D and don't enter a Z, Draftsight assumes that Z is zero. Then ther...
New Options for the Structure Systems Command in SOLIDWORKS 2024 When Applying Corner Treatments

The Structure System command in SOLIDWORKS 2024 has some new options when applying corner treatment. To show this, we'll add some structural members to the sketch. When we're finished adding structural members and exit the command, Core Management is automatically initiated. New in SOLIDWORK 2024, we can automatically group corners. Previously that was a manual operation. We also have a new opt...

Dude…. Y do u need an external tool to modify BOM? Seriously
Wow 9 years old 😮
what if i DONT have composer player active X
Helpful but please have a better resolution in your next videos. Sometimes i can only guess what I should be able to read ::((
Does it mean that there should be mate references ONLY on the metal plates, but not the cylindrical body?
swoodcam librariyi nasıl oluşturdunuz onu merak ediyoruz
this is not correct way of straigtening the beam. for example, if it got any holes drilled, how can you handle the holes ?
thanks, very clear and nice explanation!
Revolve thin, but stop at 359.8° or whatever. Then you don't need to cut it with another sketch.
Perfect. Thank you very much.
This becomes more useful as we use more screens and bigger screens..
A wonderful insight to truly become more effective and effective.. I stepped away from cad for 10 years and now getting back into it again. This is exactly what I was seeing too. So I’m actively looking for ways to embrace the new practices. I will need to see what you have done more recently..
Thanks, that helped me a lot!
It's not working sir
Can it modify each configuration custom property?
the music is horribly annoying
This is a great video, Alin!
#19 ok so cool you don’t have to open the file, nice you can do it like that. And I’m sure there is situations where is useful but: The thought of something being “slightly off” from a standard in a technical drawing feels like a crime Also reminding me of some of my more “creative/innovative” first technical drawings about which my teacher was less enthusiastic

Hi Mike, is it possible, that when you paste the 3D sketch into the new part, to align or mate the origin point (converted from the 3D sketch) to the origin of the part?
It should automatically match the origin in the sketch to the origin of the new part. But you can reposition an entire sketch if you need to with the Modify Sketch tool.
helped me out at my job man thanks. i was 10 when you uploaded this video btw 🤣
How do you get to the first step? Cause I have a solid body, when I start a new study it wil take the entire body instead of a surface and composite analysis doesn't work with solids
That's why people use CREO for easily utilizing 'real-time-update' Skeleton function. Designing assembly parts without skeleton function is kind of painful & time consuming work....
very useful and easy to find. feel like tutorials are a flip of the coin nowadays
Perfect! Has SolidWorks 2020 Connection elements?
Is it a bug when I have 3 plates next to each other and perform an assembly cut extrude with a pattern it doesn’t show in the assembly or on the parts when I open them.
Thank you for the tip. I have been using reference sketches for years and did not know these tips yet.
Thank you brotherrr🎉
Cool video :)
Nice! You saved me sooooo much time! Thanks.

I just got solidworks for makers which comes with 3dex, but cannot figure out how to add my friend to a collaborative space.
