After clicking OK, you are finished and have successfully created a hexagonal bolt with threads. Final Thoughts In this tutorial, I showed you the step-by-step procedure of creating a hexagonal bolt with cosmetic threads. Specifically, I wanted to explain how to make threads in SolidWorks, sinc...
This quick tutorial will demonstrate how to model NPT threads on SolidWorks. In this example we’ll be modeling a standard pipe, 1-1/2 NPT Pipe Size at 11-1/2 Threads per Inch. Even though we’ll be modeling a standard part in this example, this procedure may also be applied to cust...
Now that you have learned how to make threads in Solidworks for your spring, you may want to add flat ends for a ground spring. For an open spring, skip to step seven. Select the second sketch. Create a plane perpendicular to the centerline of the spring. This should be parallel with ...
Use a variant in VBA. If you are using C#, cast the return value to a string array. Set2: Change the value of an existing property. Make sure it exists first, or check the return value to learn if it didn’t exist. Delete2: Delete a custom property by its name. Count: Get the...
If there is room on the page, 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...
I've seen a few threads asking how to import a model made in Modo to Solidworks and various other CAD programs. So I thought I'd share my technique with you all. I'm a jewellery designer using Solidworks, Rhino and a little Jewelcad to turn my designs into man...

3D printing is an additive technology used to manufacture parts. It is ‘additive’ in that it doesn’t require a block of material or a mold to manufacture physical objects, it simply stacks and fuses layers of material. It’s typically fast, with low fixed setup costs, and can create ...
Hi, If I am using wrong tags or wrong forums I apologise.I am new to this and trying to improve my engineering skills in CFD. I created my model in Solidworks using 3D Sketch. I saved the file as a IGES but when I tried to open with that I didn't allowed
