I know there are multiple threads about creating ropes and wires and such, and in general, i've found that its often not worth the time. But I need to create a net for an illustration and I need to make it somewhat life-like, any ideas on how you guys would go about this?
I've started with a...
I used to use solidedge often and there was a command named "part copy" that would create a part from an assembly. The part would behave just like an imported solid, i.e. no parametric features. Is there a similar command for solidworks?
Sorry if there is a thread that handles this already. Its...
corblimey, you were absolutely right. I think the problem I was having was that I was trying to 'Link' the dimensions to the global variable rather than define an equation that sets the dimenstion equal to the global. Apparently it likes that better. thanks for the help everyone
Jmirisola, its difficult for me to explain why that isn't working for me but I'll try:
I want to control both the distance mate and the planes' dimension with a global variable called "offset". If I link just the mate value to "offset", or just the plane dimension to "offset" they will work...
Hello all. I have an assembly with a slider block in it, so naturally it is not fully constrained. As I slide it to new positions I would like a plane to move relative (in fact perpendicular) the same distance.
I know you can link dimensions but is there a way to link a dimension to a distance...
