Once you have located the Admin Image that you wish to modify, open the Administrative Option Editor by finding the “sldAdminOptionEditor.exe” file stored within the Administrative images top level folder.

In this blog in our series on the stages of the DriveWorks Professional Administrator interface, we will be going through the four areas, Define Constants, Define Variables, Define Tables, and Calculation Tables.

In SOLIDWORKS it is possible to pattern a Feature in such a way that you can create variances in the size of the patterned Instances. This approach is referred to as Vary Sketch (See Figure 1). This method can be obtained using Linear Pattern.

In this blog in our series on the stages of the DriveWorks Professional Administrator interface, we will be going through the three areas, Form Navigation, Form Design, and Form Messages.

In this first part of a six-part series on the stages of the DriveWorks Professional Administrator interface, we will be going through the three areas, Security Settings, Group Tables, and Autopilot Settings.

There is a little known & used option to show Mates and Dependencies instead of Features for components in an assembly tree. Typically, people wonder why to view an assembly in this manner. However, if you work with mates at all, this view could be your new best friend.

You have decided to start using SOLIDWORKS PDM to manage your CAD data. Previously, you may have been using folders in Windows or another PDM software. So, now you want to move all of your CAD files into PDM. What tools are available to help you? What is the best procedure to use? In this document, I will be giving an overview of the three methods to bring already existing files into PDM.

Have you installed SOLIDWORKS Electrical and made all of the connections, and just can’t figure out why Electrical will just not connect? This document will walk you through how to set up the ODBC database connection which is the gateway to your SQL Server connection.

Meshing plays an important role regarding the accuracy of a SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis. The linear static study module includes an option that allows for the solver to adapt the mesh during the solution in regions of the model with high strain energy errors. This results in a more accurate solution with little user input. There are two types of solution adaptive mesh refinement methods that can be used: h-adaptive and p-adaptive. This guide will cover the differences between the two methods and how to enable them.
