    How to prevent Multiple Solid Bodies ?

    Thanks mcgyver I agree with the assembly set up but my client wants it modelled this way for now. I'll use "make part" or "make component". I just wish the software writers would add the ability to turn off solids in a view or allow selection of certain design configurations. Thanks again...

    Noobie.......Break history link?

    Thanks ! These recommendations have helped me. Although....Note to SolidWorks....Not as easy as in Catia where you can simply right click on a feature and break history. I find this usefull when it helps me to reduce uneeded construction surfaces during quick concept model building. Stuart...

    Noobie.......Break history link?

    Thanks Guys, That helps me with solidworks. I do like the folders option as this is a really nice way to organise and reduce visual clutter. I was hoping that there may be some functionality like that in catia, where a surface or plane could be "isolated" from its parents. Thereby, allowing...

    Can anyone decipher V5's Draft Analysis???

    Hope this helps - it works for me. 1. Create a line to represent die draw direction. 2. Make sure view mode is set to material. 3. Select the draft analysis icon. 4. Select the icon to use the compass for the new current draft direction. (adjacent to the Inverse Tab). 5. View Reset Compass (to...

    V5 - Trasform move equivalent ??

    I FOUND THAT IT CAN BE DONE USING SCENES VERY EASILY AND THEN APPLYING THE SCENE TO AN ASSEMBLY. A LITTLE CONVOLUTED BUT IT GETS THERE.

    Background image

    Thanks rickyt Good suggestion. It would have been nice to be able to do it wihin a sketch plane, so that we didn't have to keep switching modules. Ideally, I would like to have three perpendicular sketch planes for side, end and plan view pictures from our industrial designer. From these, I...

    Background image

    Does anyone know if it is possible to insert a background image into a sketch? I would like to develop curves for product based on an industrial design sketch. If not, would the best way may be to do this be through a drawing background image? Thanks.
