As you are probably already aware the collection of wire styles in SOLIDWORKS Electrical is stored at a project level, not the application level. This makes the reuse of a custom wire style challenging at times if you must copy from one project to another on a regular basis. If you need to do it more than twice it should be updated in your templates.

 

Do you want to add watermarks in your electrical prints? How about a rubber stamp for Proprietary, As Built, or Final Build to show only when you are ready to release drawings?

Routing wires in SOLIDWORKS Electrical can sometimes be tricky. In this two-part blog series, I’m sharing tips and tricks to make the process easier. In this blog, we’ll discuss the Route itself and all the parameters and parts required for successful functionality. These areas are just as important as the Wire, Component and 3D Model.

In this SOLIDWORKS Electrical tutorial, I’ll share a few items to keep in mind when routing wires that will make the task easier. Let’s look into SOLIDWORKS Schematic and SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D for these key tips!

The management of user rights at a more granular level has been an often-requested enhancement. Previously, if the permissions did not fall into one of the pre-defined profiles there was not a way to get part of one and part of another. With SolidWorks Electrical 2020 there are significant improvements to the user-rights management.

Whether 3D or 2D, you will have to deal with it. If your typical workflow involved creating individual arrowhead and line combinations, then trying to link that to text elements, you know what I’m talking about. And it never fails, as soon as you think you’re done, here comes the inevitable change request. Back to moving the elements and adjusting lines.

This article guides you step by step through the process of including rows and columns on your title blocks when customizing your drawings in SOLIDWORKS Electrical.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Content Portal (ECP) hosts a multitude of resources that are highly beneficial to the electrical designer who wants to utilize specific manufacturer parts and symbols in their designs. SOLIDWORKS Electrical comes with a large library of very common symbols, manufacturer parts, title blocks, and cables that are available upon installation and download, but the ECP can provide your library with a tremendous amount more.
