I have a large table driven assembly. I am making the parts using 2 extruded surfaces, a surface loft between them, knit, thicken and insert bends.
The problem I am having is that the direction of the thicken keeps flipping on pieces. I can't find any pattern to it. pieces will change the...
I think I have seen this but I am having a syntax issue.
For example, I have an equation; "numholes 1"=4 in an assembly. Can I change that number four using a design table and what is the syntax in the design table to do so?
That equation controls the hole pattern in four parts where they all...
I started using 2006. When you place a flat pattern in a drawing the bend direction and angle are placed on the bend lines. The problem is the angle is the sweep of the bend rather than the resulting angle of the bent piece.
For example, a piece that ends up with a 45° bend, calls for a 135°...
I have a client that has a medium sized assembly in Pro-E.
We are going to make an option for his product so tp speed up our development they have sent us thier assembly in IGES and Step formats. I couldn't open the STEP file and the IGES files is a collection of surfaces, no solids at all. Any...
I am having a recurring issue in 2005. the flat patterns are not updating. I am having to open each part individually, go to the configurations tab and click back and forth several times between default and flat pattern to get it to update. All parts are made in context of the assembly.
Any...
Is it possible to open another type of file and have something you can manipulate?
Every time I have tried I just get a solid body that cannot be changed.
A while ago both of tried to help me get a linear pattern of holes in parts that are controllable at the assembly level.
A good work around was found by one of the guys that teaches the solid works classes. Put the patterns in at the part level and a "dummy" pattern in at the assembly level...
I have a sheet metal part, I unsuppress the flat pattern in the browser and it shows me the flat pattern.
When making a drawing of this part,I put flat pattern as the view and it shows it as folded.
in the browser for the drawing view I have
"orientation" : flat pattern
"reference...
I don't know why this is appearing but when I put dimensions in a drawing, the first dimension has "(RD1)" under it, the next one will have "(RD2)" and so on. What did I do and how do I turn this off?
Under tools/sketch tools. "There is liner step and repeat".
I am trying to control a hole series at the assembly level and using this command was the only way I have found to array a hole series. The hole array needs to be design table driven but I am having a hard time determining what the...
Is there ANY way to put a cut in at the assembly level and have it modify the part file?
I need to have the position of the cut dictated by the the assembly and also the ability to supress and unsupress the cut.
I think I could do it at the part level by linking spreadsheets together but I...
Here is what I would like to do. I have a fairly simple assembly but it does get quite large. It goes anywhere from 96" to 40' long. The longest material we have is 10'. I would like to make an assembly and have an array of cuts or slices that can cut the long piece into several smaller...
I'm new to solid works and am getting used to using the design table. I have an assembly where one of the parts size and number of instances will change in different configurations. D1@LocalLPattern1 is the number of instances. What would the heading be for the spacing?
Is there a good referance...
