I think I might need a macro for this, because I have done extensive searching and I have not found precisely what I want.
I have parts with the PartNo set to XXX-XXXX-M001 and I want to, say, rename them all to something like CAT-DOGS-M001, changing the first 8 characters in the string. I am...
I am trying to make a circular pattern about a rectangular prism. Basically, I want to make identical cuts into the sides of this prism. I figured that a circular pattern of 90 degrees would make the 4 cuts I need.
So, I created a sketch that consisted of an axis that ran through the center...
I did a "Pack and go" for my solidworks assembly, and I moved the drawings over. However, the drawings still reference the files in the original location, and do not reference the new files. How do I change my SolidWorks drawings so they refer to the parts that are actually in the new folder...
I've used the search here, and various searches, to try to figure this out. I hear the terms frequently used in similar context in the SolidWorks help files. What is a feature, and what is a body, and how are they different?
I created a helix, then I pressed the check mark for OK. The resultant helix (which I do not want) differs from the yellow preview helix. I do not understand why. It seems to displace itself along the helical axis. Does anyone know why this would be happening? I am trying to make a pattern...
Hey, SolidWorks users, I was wondering: Is there a way I can use SolidWorks to build a container in CAD, and then, with boundary conditions, see whether an object fits inside that container without sticking through the sides? I've been doing some searches, but I have come up empty, since I do...
Sorry guys,
I'm only posting here when I exhaust my search capabilities elsewhere. I usually just Google search the error and find the solution. The fact that I have had to come here twice might imply that there are rarely questions asked about the SolidWorks Sheet Metal features, which are...
I am going through the sheet metal tutorial, and, upon making the first Base Flange, when I press the check box, it refuses to apply the feature, with a pop up window coming from the main [-] of the design tree, saying:
Rebuild Errors
Could not find the bend table.
Please select another or...
Hi, everyone. I've been lurking around, so this is my first post (IIRC).
I am working on a SolidWorks drawing, and all my other ones came out just fine. However, on this one, inexplicably, my dimensions are this dirty yellow color. Not all of them, just most of them. The yellow ones are my...
