Silkscreening in SW2005
Silkscreening in SW2005
(OP)
Does anybody have the same problem I do, I'm trying to make silkscreens in solidworks 2005, and I couldn't make it work. So for now I export to AutoCAD and make silkscreens for now, most silkscreen consist of a company logo, some text, and other warning text and pictues on the chassis. If anybody can help me with dumping AutoCAD I would greatly appreciate it.

What do you need for the final output to the screener?

I've created labels and such containing logos, text, etc. While Acad is easier manipulating 2d elements, Solidworks has closed the gap some.

Ctopher, I like your'e idea about making a part and where I have a logo, or a picture, I'll just use cut on the part. I'll try that today and get back to and tell you how it goes.
Thanks guys.

We send our Sheet metal vendor our SolidWorks models and he exports the silkscreen data from SolidWorks into his software that they use to create artwork.

THANKS GUYS ! I like it, I used the Tools -> Sketch Entities -> Sketches Text, it worked perfectly, and for all the connectors I used the convert entities button. Thank-you again for all your help.
