In Solidworks I am able to create "configurations" on parts, meaning I can define a configuration where I suppress the features I do not want to be visible for the defined configuration. This way I can create a configuration for the part "as molded" and a confi...
Before I create a Design Table, it’s a good practice to do some model housekeeping. The first thing I want to do is rename the features in the Feature Manager tree from the default names. I’m going to do this by clicking on the feature and hittingF2on my keyboard. I’m changing ...
We access custom properties in the API via the CustomPropertyManager. As you saw in Section 2, three SOLIDWORKS API objects have a CustomPropertyManager property: ModelDoc2.Extension.CustomPropertyManager (pass an empty string to access the file properties, pass a configuration name to access the ...
The Configuration Publisher is a SOLIDWORKS tool that filters through configurations using defining properties. On insertion, instead of choosing a configuration’s name, the Configuration Publisher prompts the user to choose parameters that filter which
incompatible items are common features within a part or assembly that determine the model's mass, volume, shape, location, and size. For example, I used an existing sketch to create Hole Wizard holes. Since this was a new feature added in SOLIDWORKS 2024, it was not possible in previous ...
Starting in SOLIDWORKS 2019 you don't need to save your assemblies as parts in order to insert a bounding box for them. The SOLIDWORKS assembly bounding box can be created directly at the assembly level using the same calculations that were used previous
Creating a Sheet metal cone in SOLIDWORKS can seem like a complex task, but I’m here to alleviate your worries and provide you with the correct workflow. I typically like to start my first sketch on the Top Plane. Using my sheet metal open sketch technique, we can draw an arc and its...
During the Abaqus installation, chooseskip licensing configuration.(Shown below) IMPORTANT NOTE If you're moving from FLEXnet to Managed DSLS, you need to tweak a setting so that Abaqus knows to use Managed DSLS for its licensing instead of FLEXnet. How you make this change will depend on the...
There are two possible methods to install SolidWorks on a Mac in 2024. Virtual Machine(Works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs) Using a virtual machine isby far the best way to run SolidWorks on a Macand is the method we’ve used in this tutorial. ...
To use it: In your main assembly, create a custom property called "Cfg4Qty". Its value should be the name of the config in which you wish to count quantities. The macro will only update parts quantities when this configuration is active. When you run the macro, it will iterate through...
