    Combine Bodies (Subtract)

    I can seem to use the combine feature. I have two solid bodies in my part, that are overlapping, and the combine button is still grey in the feature menu. I even tried doing it with just two cubes, as I thought maybe my one body was to complex . . . no luck. Am I missing something? Help! Thanks.

    Locating a Fixed Distance Along a Spline

    I use the routing add on to create large electrical harnesses. On some of these harnesses I use the covering option to cover segments of the harness with extra layers. This being said, to distinguish the section I want to have the extra layering I split the route at the start and end points and...

    Threading A Clamping Nut Question

    I have a clamping nut that is a part of a coaxial connector and need to know if I can thread the portion shown in the attached drawing (I didn't inlude the whole clamping nut just the area I want to apply the exterior thread too). Basically my question is how do I determine if I have enough...

    Routing - Changing The Default Min Bend Radius

    I would like to specify a value for the minimum radius my spline can have, without having to go through the effort of defining a custom library. Is there not a way I can just select a spline and define the bend radius I would not like it to go under? Thank You in Advance, Nicole

    Fixed Length Segment in Route

    I am not able to set my desired fixed length to a segment of a route. I know that the length is almost 3 times as large as the distance between the two clips I am trying to apply the fixed length too but I am getting the warning message that "with the direction and magnitude specified, the...

    Rotating A Portion of an Assembly Relative to Another Portion

    I am trying to rotate a large sub-assembly relative to another portion of the assembly. Namely trying to show the retraction of a landing gear system into a plane. The landing gear has a common axis with the exterior and I want to rotate it along this axis. It seams it should be simple to me...

    Adding Components to a Flattened Route

    I am using electrical routing to create electrical cables in SolidWorks and have been trying to add components such as marker labels, molded transitions, etc. to my route. They need to be in both the 3D model of the route, as well as the 2D representation after flattening. I am able to add them...

    SolidWorks Electrical Routing Through Solid Bodies

    I am using electrical routing in SolidWorks 2010, and do not know how to get the routing program to recognize it needs to route around, and not through, solid bodies. The body I am trying to route around was translated from a .CATpart to .step file and then imported (not sure if this is the...
