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 c
The industry has reversed its mentality; technical drawing prints used to be considered the authoritative documents, with CAD files being supplemental. Now CAD takes the lead position, and the prints have become supplemental. In the event of a conflict between CAD and drawing, the CAD model now...
Remake the model using the correct units. A model like this should not take more than an hour to produce. It will be even faster the 2nd time. And you need the practice. Insert a Scale feature at the end of your model to scale the model as needed. This is a terrible solution, but...
For some reason when I imported the file it appeared on its side. Using the "Rotation" tools on the left side of the screen it was rotated 90 degrees and put flat and in contact with the plate. At this step it can be made to move around the plate closer to the other corners as ...
Firestorm feels like a stripped-down version of SolidWorks with extra functionalities for jewelry design. Most shaping is done by drawing 3D curves that can be turned into surfaces using blends and fills. Solids are created with the Pull tool which extrudes sketches into bodies that can subsequent...
To get a view exactly normal to a feature you can create a plane in line with the feature, select the plane, view normal to that one, rotate it 90 deg and create a new view based on that or redefine all your views based on that requirement. Insert that view into your drawing and ...
Some apps have a split-screen interface that allows you to switch from2D to 3Dview. To ensure all the measurements are accurate, you may have to go back and forth between the two. You can spin, rotate, and zoom in/out of the entire workspace to get a solid idea of how it would lo...
to work as right-handed, the homing of the second arm needs to be at 0 degrees, or in line with the first arm, while being able to rotate to the left. For that purpose, I simple glued a small piece to the arm joint so that it triggers the limit switch at the described position...
while the left wheels need rotate outside the robot. The resulting force due to the diagonally positioned rollers will make the robot move to the right. The same but opposite happens when moving to the left. With these wheels we can also achieve movement in diagonal direction by rotating only...
I have a project where my input will be scanned data. I am assuming that this will come in the guise of an STL file. But before printing I need to get the file/data into Solidworks so I can modify the design of the scanned part. The difficulty is that So
