Starting in SOLIDWORKS 2019 you don’t need to save your assemblies as parts in order to insert a bounding box for them. The assembly bounding box can be created directly in the assembly level using the same calculations that were used previously in the part level. Creating a bounding box d...
the older version of SOLIDWORKS may not be fully compatible with the latest version. So, the first step in preparing to go backwards is to identify incompatible items and remove them. During the File > Save As process, thePrevious Release Checkdialog box appears if there are incompatible...
Adding dimensions manually can be a tedious job if you have to do it many times a day. SOLIDWORKS Automatic Sketch Dimensions makes this process much faster. Instead of finishing drawing a sketch entity, then selecting the Smart Dimension command, then adding dimensions one by one; the dimension...
SmartDimension tool is used to set up or edit the drawing dimensions sketched in solidworks sketch area. It also helps to mark dimensions on designed model. See how to use smart dimension tool and its property manager here. 16.SolidWorks Tutorials 9:Ellipse Sketching Tool Ellipse sketching tool ...
When we click the “Add” or “Populate All” button, SOLIDWORKS inserts the correct Toolbox fastener into each applicable hole. The models are loaded and auto-sized automatically, thanks to the intelligence of the Toolbox. The fasteners are grouped by each set of holes in our assembly (this...

This entry is part 3 of 8 in the seriesDimensions and Tolerances A couple of days ago, I briefly covered themythical specification“non-accumulative tolerance” (or “non-cumulative”) as it is often applied to direct dimensions on feature patterns. See the example in Figure 1 where the dime...
16) Click the green check mark in the dialog box. You’ll see that the new length is calculated from the existing dimensions (length 18 mm in my drawing). The endpoint is another point on the involute; and by changing the value of the arc, you can get ALL POINTS on the top half...
accessed through the enclosure. You might want to simply measure the overall maximum dimensions as a box, but it’s essential to know exactly where the main features are so that you can accommodate them. In Solidworks, reproduce these measurements as a grouping of basic boxes in a single ...
