Objective Clearly explain and present your product or process using 2D and 3D graphical content that you can quickly create with SOLIDWORKS Composer software. Traditional Challenges in Consumer Product Industry Content creators are often working with different, cobbled together tools, including 2D CAD drawings, digital photography, and file translators. Bottleneck to business growth and competitiveness Too many manual steps to get to a finished document, and far too much back-and-forth activity. Spend too much of time in Manual changes in product as well as technical communication documents The whole process is therefore inefficient, slow, and disruptive to the Engineering Department and to the organization as a whole. Intelligent Solutions for common pitfalls 1.Concurrent technical documentation Automate your technical communication process , and make it concurrent with the design process 2.Design, Document, Deliver Easily Yo...

You can use the Offset on Surface tool to offset 3D model edges as well as faces in a 3D sketch. Selecting a single edge will offset that edge. Multiple edge selections will offset the complete chain. You can adjust the offset using the dialogue box or just enter a value. At surface intersections, we can even flip the offset curve to the other side gives you a great flexibility in design.  We need to reduce some weight of this part and to simplify the complex surface, so let’s see how SOLIDWORKS 2017 can help us. It is now possible to offset curves on any surface. Previously, you had to create extra features for offsetting an edge.  To create sketch offsets on 3D geometry surfaces :  1. Open the part model.  2. Click Offset on Surface (Sketch toolbar) or Tools > Sketch Tools > Offset on Surface. 3. In the graphics area, select the edge as shown. 4. In the Property Manager:         a) Specify the value of Offset Di...
