Designed specifically to address the needs of the most demanding dimensional metrology professionals in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, the HandySCAN BLACK|Elite Limited 3D scanner can tackle any quality control or product development applications where tolerances require increased accuracy while remaining portable and flexible. This new scanner is twice as accurate as the HandySCAN BLACK|Elite, assessed through an ISO 17025 accredited calibration based on VDI/VDE part 3 standard.
Most SOLIDWORKS users are aware of how powerful splines are when creating non-linear sketches with variable-radius curves, similar to drawing a freehand sketch. They can even be used to trace photos and create 3D models based on existing objects! Most users are also aware that splines take a bit of practice to get right, however, and can have sharp transitions that pose serious manufacturing constraints.
In this tutorial, we show how to open large assemblies in SOLIDWORKS two different ways. Both methods are handy for large assemblies that take some time to open and assemblies that have issues when opening. Both are found in the Open File dialog box.
3D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing industry by allowing for the creation of complex and intricate parts with a level of precision and accuracy that was previously impossible. One of the key players in the 3D printing space is Stratasys, a leading provider of 3D printing solutions and the creator of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology.
I continue to be amazed by how simple it is to transition the creation of 2D drawings from AutoCAD to DraftSight. Most of the command line shortcuts are translatable from one platform to the other, and the workflow is almost identical. For instance, typing “Break” in the command window will show as BREAK (SPLIT). This command is particularly useful for adding spacing around drawing items or splitting an entity at a specific location.
3DEXPERIENCE World 2023 in Nashville was a success! It was quite a week for education, networking, and getting to (3D)EXPERIENCE the power of the Platform in the Partner Pavilion. Our very own Nick Sweeney recaps the latest news and updates from this years conference.
When setting up a PDM on a client, the SOLIDWORKS PDM icon, colloquially known as the PDM Blueberry icon, is automatically placed as a hidden icon in the Windows taskbar notification area. Moving the SOLIDWORKS PDM Blueberry icon to the Windows taskbar notification area, will allow you quicker access to the SOLIDWORKS PDM help menu, notification inbox, and more.
Breadcrumbs in SOLIDWORKS are a UI tool intended to cut down on mouse travel and, in doing so, streamline workflow. When you left-click on an element in the graphics window, breadcrumbs appear in the upper left corner. They display a hierarchical tree of related elements.
With SOLIDWORKS closed and exited, follow these instructions to run a SOLIDWORKS Rx to capture the problem. Go to Start > All Programs > SOLIDWORKS 20xx > SOLIDWORKS Tools > SOLIDWORKS Rx 20xx.
