Correcting Chaos with SOLIDWORKS and MakerBot

The story begins when I was working on a part in SOLIDWORKS Simulation with a coworker. He asked me to hand him his Flow Simulation book so that he could look up an application. I turned to his bookshelf to retrieve the book and collapsed in fear.  This is what I saw: It’s not my

Can You Compare Files and Configurations?

Written by: CADimensions

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Solidworks, Configurations, 3D CAD, Compare, Files

The title question isn’t one I get asked too often, but, when it comes up, it is something I love to show users, since there is a powerful tool that can help them.  SOLIDWORKS provides the ability to compare two files or two configurations of a model using four different tests: Documents, Features, Geometry and Bill of Materials.  Compare

Controlling Automatic Updates in Windows 10

Written by: Dave Murray

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Solidworks, Update, Configurations, Windows

If you have already updated to Windows 10, then you are probably aware how Microsoft pushes updates. If you haven’t jumped on board the Windows 10 bandwagon, Microsoft’s new pushy update policy may be the reason. It’s like a waiter in a restaurant that decides what food to serve you, and when to bring it

Forming Tool Tips

Written by: Dave Murray

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Forming Tools, Configurations, Split Line, Property Manager

In my previous blog, Forming Tools, we examined how pre-SOLIDWORKS 2006 sheet metal forming tools differ from those which can be created today. We examined how to save forming tools as Form Tool part files and what the advantages were of doing so. When creating custom forming tools, be careful not to create any curved

Techniques for Additive Manufacturing and Prototyping

Written by: CADimensions

Published in: 3D Printing

Tags: Configurations, Insight, Catalyst, Direct Digital Manufacturing, Seam Control

Creating designs with traditional manufacturing in mind was already challenging by itself. Today’s designers now have to consider how to incorporate 3D printing and/or Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) into their designs. There is a desire to use a printed prototype part or assembly from a 3D printer, but the challenge comes from knowing where to

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Project Settings

Written by: CADimensions

Published in: Electrical Design

Tags: Configurations, Electrical, Title blocks, Libraries, Palettes

SOLIDWORKS Electrical allows for extensive customization of project settings to accommodate a variety of customer needs and standards. Once the desired options have been set, projects can then be saved as templates so that future projects maintain these settings. This blog will be referencing settings based off of the ANSI template that is provided with

SOLIDWORKS shows you the reason for the seasons

Trying to explain to a four and six year old why it’s cold in winter can be a challenge. I was getting into a long-winded dissertation about the northern hemisphere being tilted away from the sun in winter… and losing them fast. SOLIDWORKS to the rescue! Yes, I know there are hundreds of videos on

Configuring Part Numbers for Paint and Materials

Written by: Kevin Holbrook

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Configurations, Bill of Materials, Part Numbers

While meeting customers and prospects, I regularly hear that “we make products that can have different paint or material options, but I don’t model them all.” It is understandable to not want to model every combination of material and paint on a product and manage each file separately. This post will help you create and

BOM Part Numbers

Written by: Dave Murray

Published in: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

Tags: Configurations, Bill of Materials, Properties

Ever wish you had a good way to control what appeared under the Part Number column in your Bill of Materials? Do you have a secondary or internal part number which should appear in the BOM instead of (or in addition to) what SOLIDWORKS decides to put in the BOM? Here is information that should
