I am new to SW 2022
I have worked on previous versions for years
I used to be able to open a step assembly in SW and when I saved it as a sldasm it would create a separate sldprt file for each part in the assembly
I cant figure out how to do this in SW2022
Any suggeestions on how to set it...
I currently have a design for a simple planetary gear box for a power actuator that has a ratio of 4:1 per stage.
I have it set up as 2 stages so the overall ratio is 16:1.
I have had a new requirement dumped on me. We now need a shifting planetary where we either want a total ratio of 16:1 or...
I was working on a part in SW2015 and made a change in the length of an extruded section. After getting out of the sketch, the part visually disappeared.
I tried to undo and it would not. As I move my mouse over the tree, I can see outlines of the part - I just cant visually see it. I didn't...
I did a new install on SW2015 on a windows 10 system
I am having behavior that I never saw before on my old system and I wonder if it is a setting in system options that I am not familiar with.
If I create a new sketch and for example draw a circle without a dimension - say it ends up being...
I have a customer drawing that was created by a group in Detroit. They did the GD&T. But of course the customer SQA person is in Mexico. They have a different interpretation of how a gage should be built for this - I am caught in the middle although I agree with the Detroit Engineer. Could...
I am still having problems with SP2 on 2016 and reinstalling a fresh install has not fixed it.
When I create models of spur gears each single tooth defined by 4 or 5 circular arcs in a 2D sketch which is extruded, So if I have a 20 tooth gear I may have 120 to 150 arcs in the sketch.
Creating...
I loaded SW2016 as a new installation on a new computer and my settings are a bit whacky from what I had before
When I dimension a drawing I sometimes have to set the location of the dimension manually to make the drawing readable. Sometimes the location of these dimensions shift - I suppose...
I have a part that I am making which is the cover of a housing.
The cover looks like a box with one side open.
The inner walls of the cover must all fit over its mate which at its maximum size is .2 mm smaller in both the length and width directions than the basic size of the Length and Width...
I am getting some erratic behavior in SW2016
if I have an existing sketch on the front plane and I go to add a new sketch on the front plane, if I try to draw a circle the circle appears. THen I go to dimension it and if for example I dimension the diameter as 1.8 mm the circle stays in the...
I am a long time SW user. I recently did a clean install of SW2016 on a new computer. All of the default settings are therefore original SW settings.
One of the things that is frustrating me is when I import a dxf file. The dxf file was always imported previously in other SW versions so that...
When you open a file in SW2016 the default file name extension settings is all files.
I notice there are quick link icons to click but none of these limit only to .sldprt, .sldasm or .slddrw files. There is a custom setting.
Howe do I either change the custom setting or have my desired...
I just switched to SW 2014 and am making my first drawing
In previous versions to cut a section I simply draw a construction line where I needed it and clicked on section view.
Now when I do that I get an error message " Cannot create section line with construction geometry at both ends"
What...
Using Solidworks 2010
When I start simulation express, the side window opens but no actual dialogue box opens up - so nothing appears to happen
Is something not enabled properly?
Ok I know its a stupid question
but..
In Solidworks 2010 how do you lock the toolbar so it does not move on you?
Whenever I close solidworks and then reopen it, my toolbar moves to the left side of my screen and I hate that!
I have been able to program Solidworks VBA to be able to create a 3D moldel in solidworks.
Now I would like to be able to do the same by launching it from Excel VBA.
I am having problems with the syntax to open up a new part in solidwors from excel vba
does anyone have similar code that is...
I am wondering how to do the GD&T callout on my drawing to achieve the following result using an attribute gage:
I have a bolt circle of 2 inches in diameter with 5 studs in the bolt circle equally radially spaced. The studs have a diameter of .250 +/- .005"
There is a hole in the center of...

How is it possible in a simple planetary gear set that the tooth count on the planet gear can be adjusted plus or minus one tooth without affecting timing while trying to maintain equally spaced planets.
As an example, if you had a sun gear with 18 teeth and a ring gear of 60 teeth, and you...
