This SOLIDWORKS tutorial demonstrates how to forcibly keep the SOLIDWORKS Add-in from loading upon startup. In this example, the SOLIDWORKS Inspection Add-in is the target. This workflow is used to overcome the issue of the SOLIDWORKS Add-in changing the startup setting in the Windows Registry...
2. Three places where you can add custom properties To access the custom properties, click the File Properties button in the top bar of SOLIDWORKS. Summary info: contains file properties that are readable by Windows. These are not custom properties. See How to write Summary Info. Custom: cust...
As a vital part of the product development process, it’s logical to have a streamlined way of integrating the model import and ordering of supplied components all in one place. By implementing the McMaster-Carr add-in for SOLIDWORKS, you merge the gap between the parts supplier and CAD envi...
In this tech tip we provide an overview of how to install the SOLIDWORKS Network license desktop version. This process applies to SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional, or Premium network software. You will download the software, and install the SolidNetWork License Server and then a SOLIDWORKS Client. ...
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...
Files don’t need to be open to lock or unlock them. We can also lock and unlock files through the Bookmark Editor app, either through the task pane in SOLIDWORKS, or from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using our browser. Both are accessed by selecting the compass icon, ‘Collaborative Industry...
Objective:In this session, we’ll continue exploring some of the most powerful Solidworks tools. Session 2’s goals include: Learning how to use the spline tool. Learning how to add a picture and sketch on it. Session Activity:Using the tools learned on Session 2, we’ll design a variety...

// We are in SOLIDWORKS Electrical and we want to add a new ribbon tab. mEwRibbonX = mEwApplicationX.getEwRibbon(out ewErrorCode); if(mEwRibbonX ==null) returnfalse; mEwRibbonTabX = mEwRibbonX.addTab(_getStrAddInName(), out ewErrorCode); ...
totally format-agnostic. So if over time, you want to add new formats (e.g., NX after Solidworks) that will take a couple of extra lines (to add cadex::NX_Reader). We plan to achieve that extra amount to be zero (yes, zero!). In that case, even recompilation will not b...
