One work around I've found is to create 3D models via DwgEditor. Create model and save it out as a 2004 DXF Free Cad is able to read the DXF.

Anyone using FreeCad9 to do motion analysis? software is at www.ar-cad.com If so have you been able to import Solidwork assemblies? The example models used to demo the software are solidworks "asm" (not sldasm) files, but when I try creating my own "asm" file the software doesn't recognize...

In Autocad you could take a given PolyLine and divide it into 100 equal segments by using the divide Polyline. I can't find any comparable command for Solidworks that would allow me to divide a given Solidworks Spline. Is there a way to do this??

just went to solidworks and watched the Online seminar. Not very good. The kind of thing I am trying to understand is how to create one of the cables shown in the video demo http://www.solidworks.com/pages/onlinetour/demos/assemdes/electricalrouting/06_ElectricalRouting.html If you look...

thanks Gildashard that link helps a lot :)

I’m sorry for not being clear. I'm using solidworks, routing/electrical. If you look at the AutoDesk Demo video, you see a 3D model of an electrical enclosure with 7 connectors in it: 3 DR connectors 2 IDC connector 1 DB9 connector 1 Molex connector At the beginning of the video...

I have solidworks 2007 and am having a hell of a time trying to figure out how the electrical routing works. I want to be able to go between a 2D wiring schematic and a 3D layout, similiar what is being shown in the attached link.(Demo of AutoCad Inventor electrical Routing) Please looks at...

In a sketch how to you draw a bunch of 2D lines in the XY plane, then translate the sketch so its changed to being in the YZ plane?????

anywhere to find a routing tutorial besides the online one that comes with the software?

I have not installed Solidworks 2006 yet and was wondering if Solidworks has changed the capabilities of the Freebee Cosmos Express from the way it was in 2005. Any new features?

I have been using Algor for the past year struggling to do meshes and analysis of thin walled structures with it. When you talk to Algor tech support they almost always end up recommending you build whatever model you want to analyze from scratch using their superdraw program, when all you want...

Solidworks 2005 want to place and cut text into surface but need text larger than 72 points. Tried using tools/sketch tools/ scale , but the scale doesn't make the text get any bigger. How can I make larger text?

Solidworks 2005 would like to create a label with company logo and put it into model. Have tried bringing Jpeg of rectangular logo in as an applied texture but can't get it to size and center the way I want - (do not want tiling effect) Any way to do this.

solidworks 2005 When turn on shaded w/ shadows shadow falls appears some arbritrary distance from the model. Can this distance be controlled? How is solidworks deciding how far away to put shadow?

solidworks 2005 In model I have applied textures. When I create drawing the textures disapear. Is it possible to have textures show in drawings - how?
