A step by step walk through of the proper way to set up your assembly and mates in SOLIDWORKS to create a functional Planetary Gear set that moves as expected. The first step in the process is to have all the pitch lines of the gears defined in a sketch on the part level.

This article will help optimize your SOLIDWORKS Toolbox to increase performance and customize it to your company’s standards. The Toolbox has over 1.5 million configurations of hardware, fasteners & structural members in 19 different world standards.

The Automatic Border Feature in SOLIDWORKS quickly allows you to create a border in your sheet format. You can control every aspect of the border, including grid size and layout. When using the tool, border zones automatically update. You can also add Margin Mask areas, where labels and dividers are not shown.

If you have questions regarding SOLIDWORKS installation such as: Where do I obtain SOLIDWORKS Electrical software? How do I prepare my computer for a successful installation? How do I properly install SOLIDWORKS Electrical Server Products? then you've come to the right place.

Where do I obtain SOLIDWORKS Electrical software? How do I Prepare my computer for a successful installation? How do I properly install SOLIDWORKS Electrical? This blog will cover the answers to those questions and much more.

The purpose of this article is to highlight the tools available to compare SOLIDWORKS PDM file versions from least to most effective. There are three ways to compare PDM versions of a file: visually inspecting changes, using the Compare Command, or using the Compare Documents command found in SOLIDWORKS CAD.

You can save all Flow Simulation project data to a template, such as boundary conditions, sources, and goals. By creating Flow Simulation templates, you can save yourself some time setting up your next Flow Simulation study on any models similar to the one that you saved your template from.

This can't be right?! You check out a file in SOLIDWORKS PDM then you open it in SOLIDWORKS. But, for some reason, it still shows as read-only in the title bar! What the heck is going on? This problem occurs infrequently, but when it does it can be very vexing. It just doesn’t make sense that a checked-out file would be read-only!
