By sketch constraints do you mean the dotted lines that appear, showing you how a sketch entity can align with other entities, when you move the cursor around? If so, I don't get any of them when I move the cursor, which is why I created the horizontal line, hoping that one would appear, but it...
I'm having a problem with a sketch I'm doing in SW 2007. Please see the image attached. Basically, I have a spline, and a vertical centerline, and I want to mirror the spline about the centerline. However, I want it so that at the intersection of the spline and centerline (1st spline point) the...
Hi, sorry I've not replied. I found a way to hide/show the pictures while working, and thats from the toolbar on the left (with the list of features)...Just right click on the the picture and click supress to hide. Then unsurpress to show. (This allows the rest of the sketch to be shown too...
Sorry for posting twice, I meant to ask another question, how can I toggle hide/show for the pictures? I can't seem to find an option for it, and I'd like to be able to view the part with and without the picture, as I go along. Is this possible?
Hi, I have two questions about SW 2007:
1.) Is it possible to insert image files like jpegs onto planes, so you can use the image as a guide for construction lines? If so how? I'm guessing the files may need to be bitmaps first, if it is possible.
(I have some jpegs of cross-sections of a...
Thanks for the replies. I'm looking for a much smaller valve actually, and came across this page of miniature valves in the UK, which seems pretty good:

Hi, I'm looking for some solenoid valves for controlling fluid flow, and can't seem to find them anywhere. My application requires them to be relatively small, and the flow to be continuously variable rather than a simple on/off valve.
The valves are known as "Continuous Solenoid Control...
Thanks for the advice, I'll come back and let you know how it goes...hopefully it eventually does.
I love a good challenge, and I'm gonna keep going at it with this project until its done. In the mean time I'll probably have some more questions anyway.
Thanks for your help.
Thank you. So It can't be done straight from Solidworks then?
I had a look on COSMOS website, and I think I would need "COSMOSFloWorks"? Is that what you're talking about?
I have seen pictures, and videos, and heard much about computational fluid dynamics, and I have Solidworks 2007.
How does one go about doing fluid flow simulations on a part or assembly in solidworks?
I've looked through SW help file and theres nothing in there, so I'm guessing 1.) It's not...
Hi guys, despite your criticism, I've actually found a community of hobbyist jet turbine builders now, and have already gained a huge amount of support from them. It's not beyond the scope of a hobbysit, and these guys are living proof. I have seen pictures of the engines they've built, and they...
