    How to reduce segments in DXF file

    Hello! I am extracting points coordinates (X,Y) from DXF file. The problems is that there are tens of thousands of points extracted, but I need up to few hundreds points. How can I reduce the number of points and segments. The files are exported from Eagle (PCB design) and it is not too complex...

    Smoothing surfaces SW2015

    Hello again, I have a very big success using lofts and boundaries and a small number of surfaces. But now a new problem occurs. I use the Freeform feature to make my desired shape, but it results in error with message that the face is self-intersecting. I run the Check feature and the is no...

    Smoothing surfaces SW2015

    Hello, Actually mirroring is making the problems with lines in the center. I am working on new strategy now. I am trying to use lofts and boundaries only to build the model and trying to make as bigger surface groups as I can. I will post the result. Best regards, Ivaylo

    Smoothing surfaces SW2015

    Hello, I am trying to make a complex shape in Solidworks and the only thing that I can;t fix is smoothing boundaries between surfaces. The model is based on a 3D sketch. Most of the surfaces are "Filled surface' and some of them "Boundary" When I try to set a tangent edges an error occurs. Also...

    Datums in a drawing with thread

    Yes, I understand, I will need time to read the standards. I meant actually that if I call up very tight concentric datum with 0.02 mm tolerance for example, that can be even funny for somebody, because the concentric features are on the same axis with the thread. Then it is better not calling...

    Datums in a drawing with thread

    Hello everybody, I am new in mechanical design and I would like an advice from professionals. I have a drawing of a part with thread. I wand the part to be very precise and adding a datums is a good option, but this sounds me very lightly, because threads are very loose and even if the part is...
