I see, do you have any recommendations for drawing something like this, what would be the best approach?

Can you explain in detail the steps your talking about, I'm having a tough time getting this going.

Hello, I'm trying to create a 3D sketch that is on two different planes. I'm having troubles extruding the sketch like I want. Then end result will be turned into a sheet metal part so that I am able to take the DXF and have it cut. I have specified the direction and still nothing. I will...

Thanks! This seems to be doing the trick so far, I just took the surface parallel as suggested, and created a reference plane. And you are correct, the ribs, and plates will be fitting together like a puzzle, that will ultimately be welded together.

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice on how to create a boxed slot and tabbed object. The object will consist of a bottom plate, top plate, and internal ribs/side plates that will be slot and tabbed accordingly to be welded. So far I have created the bottom plate, and am having trouble...

Wow, thank you Ctopher. This is perfect, I will play around with this and try and get it to work!

Hello again all, I am tasked with reverse engineering control arms for utvs. What I basically need to do is reverse engineer the arms, draw them in SW, and then create flat pattern dxfs, I will be making these in sheet metal. Here is a example picture of a stock arm that would be reverse...

Thank you all for the responses! I appreciate the feedback, I think I will go with the original threads, but make sure it is all on solid.

Hello all, As the title states, I would like some help in seeing if my bottle and cap threads will properly mate together. I want to have theses 3D printed, but would like to make sure that I will be able to screw them together before spending the money to do it. Here are the files if you...

Thank you, going back in the history tree worked out perfectly!

Hello all, I'm making an iphone case for my brother, and I want to extrude cut the logo of one of his favorite games into the back. I'm having trouble converting the file into a dxf. I was wondering if any one has tips, or other routes I might take. I have attached the jpg that I want...

I am using solidworks2010, I'm afraid i've got a little ahead of myself and started adding the fillets, and should of shelled before hand. I'm not sure on the model of printer that's getting used.

Hello, I am creating an airplane (Cessna 152) in solidworks in order to print it on a 3D printer. I would like to cut down material by shelling out the model, but I am having a tough time trying to figure out how whats wrong with it, (I'm not sure if its due to the loft's, or radius's I have)...
