Thanks, I figured that might be the case but hoped that it was not. I guess I just have to learn to be better with spreadsheets. I was also hoping that that wasn't the case because the design table makes my system crash more often.
Thank you again,
Xander
No, what I wanted to do was transfer five or so numbers that drove the whole part that were defined in equations to the design table. For example it defines a few holes based on lag screw sizes, so that I only have to enter the nominal sizes and it will adjust them by a certain amount to make...
Hey Everyone,
I have a part where many things patterns, cuts etc. are linked through equations, so that you only have to update one number and it will update many features, to a different extent and while referencing sizes/dimensions contained within the part as well.
However it is a little...
Hi again everyone,
I am having a little annoyance with something and was wondering if any could offer their help. I am trying to link certain dimension values etc. of parts so that they show up in drawings and change if I change the part. I am able to reference dimensions in sketches, just...
Yes that is kind of my back up plan is to create a database that solidworks goes into, and the brake updates automatically. The bigger problem is actually running the brake itself as a CNC brake as opposed to (what were doing now) a highly sophisticated mechanical brake (waste of everyones time...
Yes that is what I have been doing, for the laser cutter is exporting the DXF from the flat pattern drawing, but I would like to go directly from the solid model (sheet metal) to a CNC Brake program, along with a flat DXF. It sounds a lot more complicated then I think it is, but I can't find any...
Hi,
I posted this question to the machining forum as well, with a few more specifics. We have CNC brakes made by LVD strippit, which comes with a CAD program. However this program does not integrate well with solidworks as far as I can tell (although more work needs to be done pursuing this). I...
Hi,
I recently started work at a sheet metal fabrication company. We have CNC brakes, made by the LVD strippit company, which we are currently using almost like manual brakes, because that is what the people on the floor know how to use. No engineers have taken the time to figure out the CNC...
Hey I have run into this same problem recently. I can't figure out what to do about it at all. The form tool I made worked perfectly once, then before I saved the part solidworks crashed, (my machines fault) and somehow, all of the library features say this now, mine and the default ones. Tried...
