Starting in SOLIDWORKS 2017, jagged outlines can be added to Detail Views and Crop Views. Jagged lines can be used for Break Lines in Break Views. After creating a Detail, Crop, or Section View, the option to change the style of the outline or break line is in the view’s PropertyManager.

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.

A creep analysis can only be performed in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Non-Linear study type which is a SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium product tool. Creep can occur in materials that have been exposed to one or more mechanical stresses in conjunction with higher than room temperature thermal loads over a long period of time. 

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.
