SOLIDWORKS CAD Oct 22, 2024

In SOLIDWORKS Weldments 2025 is a new feature called Groove Beads and an ever-improving UI to Structure Systems. Connection elements just got a lot more powerful too. Let's work on the raised platform for a model and see what's new in SOLIDWORKS 2025.

SOLIDWORKS CAD Oct 17, 2024

This blog explains the steps of creating a jack-o-lantern design using SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Visualize from one of GoEngineer's own SOLIDWORKS Experts. 

3D Scanning Oct 17, 2024

Artec 3D has done it again. On the heels of the new and improved Artec Spider II comes the Artec Point - their first handheld blue laser scanner.

SOLIDWORKS CAD Oct 16, 2024

Let's dive into the latest enhancements to SOLIDWORKS 2025 Assemblies designed to improve your workflow and boost performance.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Oct 15, 2024

SOLIDWORKS Electrical includes a set of symbols. These symbols might be sufficient for your requirements, or you may need to create your own to meet a specific standard. You can either start from scratch beginning by drawing the image, adding the attributes and connection points, and adjusting the appearance to suit your needs or modify an existing symbol.

SOLIDWORKS PDM Oct 10, 2024

Configurations are a great tool in SOLIDWORKS for creating and managing designs. One of the most convenient abilities of a configuration is the use of configuration-specific properties to detail and organize individual configurations as if they were standalone files. When utilized in the Bills of Materials, data cards, and drawing annotations, these configuration-specific custom properties are indistinguishable from those defined in individual files and remain just as easily accessible in both SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PDM.

The GoEngineer Customer Portal is a great tool for managing your users, training, assets, and other resources that GoEngineer has to offer. Two of the strongest assets available are the ability to manage users and then assign/access training from either your success plan or the classes you have purchased. This article is a guide for users with Professional admin-level access (typically CAD admin or IT) to utilize these assets fully. Let's start with how to add users to the customer portal.

When using the Area Hatch/Fill tool in a SOLIDWORKS drawing, you can modify the scale and angle of the default pattern with options in the PropertyManager. If you constantly need to make changes to get the pattern you want, or if none of the out-of-the-box patterns fit with what you need, you can modify the SOLIDWORKS Hatch Pattern file to create a custom pattern. 

DraftSight Oct 03, 2024

DraftSight is a powerful 2D drafting software, but, depending on your current version, is your ability to access the Make Flat Snapshot command, meant to create flat representations of 3D solid objects and regions. DraftSight achieves this by projecting the drawing’s X-Y plane of the active Custom Coordinate System (CCS). If you don’t have DraftSight 2022, there is a workaround for showing a flat representation of imported bodies in DraftSight 2019-2021.
