Forgive me for such an elementary question, but I can't figure out how to do something.
I have a circle drawn in sketch. I have drawn a line from the center to the outside, straight up. The cursor automatically snaps to the 90 degree point, and I can put a point there or draw another arc at...
I am trying to figure out how to do something in sketch. Say I have a box. I draw the box in scketch, exit sketch, and then extrude it. I then take the solid (which is now a square), and start another sketch on one of the square's surfaces. On this surface sketch, I create a very detailed sketch...
I finally got the swept cut drawn correctly on the edge of this blade. I did it by selecting the very bottom option in the options tab in the swept cut menu box. It then produced the smooth cut all the way to the tip without showing all the lines seperating the different line segments.
Anyway...
I'm trying to perform a swept cut on the edge of a knife blade I have drawn. I have been successful in getting the cut to start but it won't do the entire edge. The edge consists of line segments and arcs. There are probably about twenty of them from the rear edge (where the reference plane is...
I'm trying to draw a sketch for the other end of this sprring I have here. To create the flat on the end to the right, I drew a sketch in the front plane, and made an extruded cut. After I did this, I made a revolve off of the face of the end of the spring, 180 degrees around.
Now I'm trying...
I have gotten pretty good with Solidworks over the past couple of days, especially since I figured out how to make parts mate. I had posted a thread earlier in the week requesting help with that.
Now, I have built a machine and it has probably a dozen or more parts. I have had pretty good luck...
I recently got Solidworks on my work PC to learn. I bought a tutorial book - "Solidworks 2010 No Expereience Required" and have been through the entire book. There are still some questions I need answers for though.
My main use for the program will just be to model objects in 3D space. I...
