    AutoCad/Autolisp commands for rotating text and inputting rev notes

    Hello, I am wondering if there is a way in AutoCad Mechanical to create a command that prompts a user to input a single line of text (can be multiline as well) and after inputting the text, a rotation of text prompt is given. When the user puts in 90, 180, or 270, it will then prompt the user...

    Inside Bend Radius Not Changing

    I have a SW model (attached) that was given to me recently. The request is to change all the inside bend radii to .125". When I go to change the sheet metal bend radius, it seems to always default back to 0.045". I've tried insering custom parametrs to get the radius to change, but it seems...

    Flat pattern assistance

    I have a Solidworks part that I would like some advice on how to flatten in Solidworks. Part file is attached. I've tried using the convert to sheet metal command and the rip command but am unable to create the necessary gaps for bending. This is in Solidworks 2017. Am I better off drawing...

    Flat Spring thickness/Spring Rate

    I am looking to come up with a relationship between the thickness of a flat spring and the resultant spring rate. For this example, we will assume that width, length, and spring deflection are constant. The material properties of the flat spring is: UNS G10950 (Pretempered Spring Steel)...

    Fine/Coarse Adjustment of Plate

    Hello, I am looking for ways of moving a plate in an axial direction. There is a secondary plate that I want to move rotationally as well. There needs to be fine adjustment available so that a person can rotate the plate 1-2 degrees and lock in the location of the plate. The same holds true...

    Making mold splits in Solidworks

    Hello, I have an application where I need to make mold splits in Solidworks for some medical products. We'll be using MUD units with steel inserts, with 1/4" OD CAL rods through the mold base. There will be other hand-loaded inserts within the part(s) as well. What would be a good way of...

    Optics Engineering

    Hello, I have an application where I need to linearly move a focusing lens (1mm diameter, 37.5 mm long) about the x, y, and z axis, as well as provide rotational freedom within a tube with an ID of 37.5mm (same as focusing lens length). I've looked at all the optics companies websites and they...

    Thermal dissipation of an LED PCB

    I am looking to do simulate thermal dissipation from an LED PCB with a large heat sink with fins. I was wondering if there was software (freeware or trial) that would allow me to accomplish this without having to upgrade to Solidworks Premium.

    Transfer of Part template config in SW 2009

    I have a number of models (SW 2009) that do not have the proper part template associated with them. The desired part template has all relevant information such as material, number of sheets, part number, etc. How do I copy this part config/template data to all of these models without having to...
