When the section view command is selected, there is an “Auto Flip” item available to be checked off. If this option is selected, SOLIDWORKS will correct the side of the arrow pointers showing on the section line itself and also the resulted drawing view. Auto Flip Options Corrects the Poi...
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 configuration properties) IConfiguration.CustomPropertyManager (to access ...
But when you try to automate a task via an API, you need other ways of selecting objects. In this blog post, I’ll share everything I know about selecting objects in the SOLIDWORKS API, plus how to get the objects that a user selected. In this blog post, you’ll find Which objects...
coursework using relevant models from the book for you to practice the methods discussed. The book itself contains video solutions to the models but try to refrain from using these as they will make it harder for you to develop an intuition for developing CAD models. Overview Section 1: All ...
it is good practice to include a 3D isometric view to help the machinist when manufacturing the part. These don’t need to be in the same alignment as the orthographic views but make sure that they are drawn from the correct corner for the orientation you want to show. Do not include di...
3. Make a list of several quick cuts on a sticky note. The memo should be stuck on your computer screen. The sticky note should remain on your screen until you have learned the shortcuts by heart. After you have mastered every SOLIDWORKS keyboard shortcut that applies to you, go on to...
One more note on this, which I found out later: to make the process of reinstating the viewing of the bookmarks on a specific document, you can either use the "View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Bookmarks" or, even simpler, RIGHT ...
Because IknewI wanted to have a "section view" of the wings in my final print to show the "carbon fiber" inside, so I planned ahead and extruded them as separate bodies in SOLIDWORKS, just so I could select them separately here in Rhino. (#overpreparation #4Dchess) ...
The SolidWorks software proved useful not only for part design, but also for mapping the virtual space the surgeons navigate. The guys on "Prototype This!" aren't making surgical equipment with their tools, but read about another tool they're using to make their own unique prototypes. 8. ...
When making the drawing and inserting your views you can break their alignment and realign the views to make the right or even the bottom view the parent. But you will have to break all alignments and re align each view manaully. There is no quick switch.Regards, Scott Baugh, CSWP 3D...
