    Cutting off Dimensions

    I'm trying to dimension to something fairly far away from the part itself and I don't want the dimension line to go off the drawing page. Is there a way to cut off a dimension? To only have one leader the dimension and then the line ends at some point?

    Curve through points changing coordinates

    Is there a way to use the curve through xyz points command and have it use a different coordinate system that I've defined rather than the default one?

    Measurement Tool

    Is there a way to get the measurement tool to measure the maximum distance between two curves? Because there seems to be an option on the popup that appears when the tool is activated but it doesn't seem to do anything. It still measures between the closest points. Am I using it wrong?

    Variable Fillets

    Does any one if you can use a variable radius to not just change the fillet radius along the edge but to make the radius themselves non constant. I mean have the distance the fillet extends be longer on one surface than the other?

    CSP Loop

    I'm working on a project at my work using a small number of CSP Solar Troughs (10) for heating up water from 90 C to 160 C @120 psi with a mass flow of 1.2 kg/s. Normally CSP Troughs are in a separate loop from the process with a heat exchanger between, but my boss wants me to design the...

    Dimensioning Complex Curves

    Would anyone suggest a good or proper way to dimension a series of sectioned views of a blade?

    Creating a Fillet Problem

    I need to create a fillet at the intersection between two solids and I'm having trouble because Solidworks thinks there is a gap between them. I've tried everything to get rid of this infinitesimal gap but its no good. Does anyone have anykind of suggestions because every time I use the fillet...

    Converting Face into a Surface

    Is there a tool which can convert a face of a solid body into a surface? Or another way that this can be easily done? Because I've tried using surface fill with a mesh of constraining sketches and it still isn't good enough.

    Cutting Surfaces

    Is there a way to only cut surfaces and leave the solid model alone?

    Lengthening a blade

    Hey I've been having trouble figuring out what to do about a modification I need to make to a part. It's a turbine blade that I need to lengthen the bottom of the blade without lengthening the top. Normally this would be easy as I could just go into the original loft that created it and mess...

    Help locating holes in 3D space with reference to axes

    I need so help, I am dimensioning a rather complex part which has a couple dozen holes at non 90 degree angles on a non flat surface. I need to locate these holes in 3D space referencing to some axes that I designated. I've tried dimensioning them using smart dimension but no matter what I do it...
