To specificity how a part is bent for the part to function correctly in SOLIDWORKS, we need to create something commonly called a “Process Plan Drawing”. Follow these steps to create an efficient drawing to communicate the part as it is meant to be used.

Have you ever upgraded SOLIDWORKS and started receiving file location errors? Maybe your templates are invalid, or you see instead of the diameter symbol? In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to find missing file locations in SOLIDWORKS.

Trailing Zeroes can be customized in SOLIDWORKS for Dimensions, Tolerances, and Properties. In my example, I have created a drawing on a widget and would now like to control the trailing zeroes. My drawing is set to two decimal places for the dimensions and four for tolerances. Here are the different results for the Dimension and Tolerance settings.

While working on projects in SOLIDWORKS, I sometimes find myself in the situation where I’m creating multiple parts that combine to make a whole. Over the course of my experiences, I have seen a few approaches to this.

Hyper Threading is a technology developed by Intel® that enables a computer’s CPU to execute multiple streams of instructions at the same time. Hyper threading can significantly improve performance for some tasks, but it can also be detrimental to others.

SOLIDWORKS has some awesome part modeling tools and in this blog, I’m going to share some of my favorite life pro tips which are little features that have saved me a significant amount of time. These features include tolerances for hole wizard holes, interference detection for multi-body parts, options for offset on surface and inside of trim entities

Many of us have been faced with the need to work from home and we have no choice but to find solutions to the challenges we face. If you have found yourself suddenly working remotely, we can help you access your SOLIDWORKS license regardless if it's a standalone or network license type.

Creating a custom weldment cut list template in SOLIDWORKS is an easy process. This article will outline the necessary steps for modifying a cut list table and saving it as a template for use on drawings. 

 

Many companies that use SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal also do Progressive Bend Operations. Documenting those operations has been an issue over the years, as most folks don’t know where to go to make it work. This is addressed to some degree in our SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal Training course.
