I am updating a product made from molded plastic components. Currently the product is IPx2 and it needs to become IPx4.
Please, bear with my explanation, I will not be able to post any images or parts of what I am working with.
The product has a front half, a rear half, and a middle portion...
I need some help converting a load. Right now I have a dynamic load. I have mass=76.5 kg, acceleration=6g's (58.8 m/s^2) and time=0.667 s. The load is out on a cantilever and is being subjected to an impulse (there is no impact).
The setup is similar to someone on a diving board, quickly...
I am working with an assembly (SW 09 SP 5.0). I have the main assembly and 3 sub assemblies. Each of the sub assemblies can be sized using the same dimension. I have used some equations to reference part dimensions to a sketch in the top level assembly.
I got the master copy to work...
There is a little pop-up menu bound to the "s" key. I'd like to assign the menu to a different key but can't find it in the keyboard shortcut area.
Is this possible, what is the menu called? I tried looking for what "s" is assigned to but came up with nothing.
I'm having trouble with sheet metal flat pattern parts not displaying correctly in my drawing sheets.
The Setup:
I've got some parts with a hole pattern controlled by an equation. If I open the drawing first I get a correct formed view but the hole spacing is incorrect on the flat pattern...
I'm trying to set up a drawing sheet that will update the way the assembly is displayed based on some user input. I want the isometric view to update so that it displays the correct orientation.
Is there a way to have SW update to a named view (i.e. Iso1), or reset the standard view...
I'm trying to set up a Design Table for a sheet metal assembly.
I'm having problems with the Drawing Views not updating correctly. The design table is set up to control the gauge (thickness) of the metal based on height (I've done this with configurations at the part level). The design table...
I'm trying to set up some batch printing where I work. We can't use a pdm system because of multiple locations...among other issues.
We've just moved to one .slddrw file per .sldasm or .sldprt. I'm looking for a program that I can store lists for products. We reuse parts in many different...
After a few years of using SW I finally found autoballoon. It's not working quite right for me.
It drops the balloons in a circle (as I asked) but the leaders are very long, half the balloons are off of the sheet.
It also double balloons some parts, I want it to balloon each part but that's...
Where I work we use Made to Manage ( M2M ) and Solidworks. We have a lot of products sitting in filing cabinets. We've been looking into streamlining the process.
Right now a product number in M2M is linked to a BOM and router. Is there a way to get Solidworks to export prints to M2M so the...
I'm trying to set up the new drawing templates where I work, in SW 2007 SP 4.0. I'm running into 2 problems.
I can't link an excel BOM to a blank view.
When I insert the BOM the font in the cells is Century Gothic size 12. The excel BOM and table and the annotation font for the sheet are both...
