SOLIDWORKS Visualize supports high-resolution 4k displays. So, why isn’t your model showing in high resolution? Because of a simple Viewport setting—and it isn’t a setting in Windows. The Viewport is the preview of your project that you see when you’re working on it. By default, it’s set pretty small. This is to increase performance and load times, and it doesn’t affect your final export. It’s just there so you can see what you’re working on, and you can customize the size to your liking.
Standards. Every company has them to set an expected level of quality. In SOLIDWORKS, we create our models and drawings to ANSI, ISO, or other standards. Files are translated through standardized formats, which is easy to accomplish as these standards are maintained by governing bodies and are integrated.
SOLIDWORKS Visualize is an excellent go-to for photorealistic renderings for marketing announcements and brochures for your company’s product(s), among many other use cases. It became the standard photorealistic software offered by SOLIDWORKS following the retirement of PhotoView360. Starting in 2024, SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium now include a SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard seat. This article provides some tips and tricks for how to make your engraved lettering stand out in your product marketing.
SOLIDWORKS Composer is a great tool for making technical documentation for your product designs, from work instructions to technical specifications. However, there may be instances during a project when changes need to be made to the CAD design. Once the mechanical design is updated, what should you do? Start the technical document from scratch using the new model and hope it won’t need further updates?
SOLIDWORKS Composer is a standalone addition to the SOLIDWORKS suite of software that lets you create graphical technical documentation alongside the design process in SOLIDWORKS and its various ancillary software. Through the use of various tools, technical documentation comes to life in a few short mouse clicks. The SOLIDWORKS Composer Digger Tool is typically used to highlight a smaller section of a larger, grander assembly brought into the software.
If you plan to move your SOLIDWORKS Composer license to a different machine, you must deactivate it. It is also best practice to deactivate Composer—and any other SOLIDWORKS products—prior to major changes to your computer like replacing the hard drive.
This guide will highlight the ability in SOLIDWORKS Composer to edit Camera Views while maintaining the orientation of assemblies and components within the view in your final product. This could include adding 2D text, a Path, a Label, or a Callout to an already-established Camera View that has been tirelessly fine-tuned to display your product in your technical documentation.
