In this guide, we go further in-depth using SOLIDWORKS Configuration Publisher to create custom dropdown menus for configurations when we place a component into an assembly. In part one, we learned how to create a configuration table and multiple configurations. Now we will use the configurations we created to create a design table and use Configuration Publisher.
In this tutorial, we show how to create and modify a configuration table in SOLIDWORKS. We'll then use Configuration Publisher to select specific configurations to update in assemblies from a drop-down list. First, make sure that Configuration Tables are set to be created on open.
In this tutorial, we show how to open large assemblies in SOLIDWORKS two different ways. Both methods are handy for large assemblies that take some time to open and assemblies that have issues when opening. Both are found in the Open File dialog box.
In this tutorial, we discuss Display States, a powerful option in SOLIDWORKS that allows users to draw attention to specific components or a subassembly in a drawing. A Display State is used any time changes to the graphics of the model (e.g., colors, appearances, display styles, etc.) are desired.
In this tutorial, we show how to improve a SOLIDWORKS decal images by using a mask of the decal. In this example, we have designed a poker chip in SOLIDWORKS that we would like to 3D print, but first need to add a SOLIDWORKS logo. To do so, head over to the DisplayManager.
