Hi, I know how to check for sketch relations which relate to something outside of the sketch they are in, but I can't find a way to check for dimensions that have been measured against something that is outside the sketch.
The reason I want to do this is so that I can re-order my sketches.
I...
Hi, I've got a load of consumer product models that I want to render, but Photoworks just doesn't do them justice.
My end goal is to animate the models so that they are spinning on a central vertical axis, whilst also being fully rendered (I may have to do it frame-by-frame if it's too much to...
Hi, just wondering what would require more computing power to move around/model in Solidworks - a solid cube or a hollowed out one?
It's just so I know whether I need to shell something or not to get the best performance.
Thanks!
Hi, I just bought a shiny Core 2 Duo E6700 CPU (2.66Ghz x 2) and an Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi, which I think sets me up well for Solidworks modelling and rendering.
I also just purchased a 500gb 7200RPM SATA2 HDD
Now I'm left to consider upgrading the rest...
It currently has:
- ATI X300SE...
Hi, I want to take a model view I've inserted into a drawing and convert it into a sketch so I can manipulate and change it.
The only way I've found of doing this is to select each individual line with Ctrl then select 'Convert' - there must be a quicker way!
Thanks for any suggestions
Hi, I've been using Solidworks recently to draw the inside layout of a building and the normal rotating camera in Solidworks doesn't give a very good 'first person' view from different positions.
Is there a way to insert different 'camera' positions so I can quickly flick between them, and is...
Hi, I want to project a sketch onto a surface, but for some reason only a single curve at a time can be used with the 'projected curve' option. I need to project a complex 2D drawing, and 'spline on surface' would take too long...is there another way?
Thanks!
I've imported a set of lines into Solidworks from AutoCad and I want to perform an extrude with these lines.
Unfortunately there must be gaps in the profile because extrude won't work. I've tried selecting the 'contours' (where it turns red within a closed profile) but that's not coming up...
I can make parts that alter their features when I change a dimension, but that only works to a point.
I have been told it is possible to model a part/assembly so that just altering one dimension or size will dynamically scale the object so everything else changes size - in proportion. 'Scale'...
Hi, my problem is more complex than the title suggests. I have overlapping extrusions in a part model, but the extrusion that I want to cut goes through about 5 separate bodies. This means using 'Split' would take forever (over 80+ cuts in Split) and Combine doesn't work.
Is there a way to tell...
