Electrical System Design has progressed to the point that today every designer uses and practices Design Automation and 3D tools to eliminate manual tasks such as Reports, Documentation, and Physical mockups. Also, Electrical Design engineers are started exploring their work in 3D areas such as Control Panel Design, Cable Tray Routing, Wire routing, and Wire harness; it helps them recognize and rectify design flaws in the early stages, cross – team collaboration, and most important it saves the company a lot of money. We can now generate separate cable routing assemblies in SolidWorks Electrical 2021 , allowing us to route cables more effectively and quickly on our designs. To Activating the separate routing assembly parameter for a cable: Step 1: Go the project tab, click Cables Step 2: Select one ore more cables from cable manager Step 3: Click the properties and enable the Separate 3D route assembly option Step 4: Goto SolidWorks Electrical 3D toolbar, click Route Cables Step ...

The Property Tab Builder is a stand-alone utility that you use to create a customized interface for entering properties into SOLIDWORKS files. Traditionally, designer's use to modify the drawing template to insert custom property such as Description, Part No, Material, it’s a manual method. so, designers have to modify the custom property or metadata on each time, simultaneously BOM creation is also manual which increases a run time and errors in BOM table. It's also delayed the release of entire project. Three ways to create a customized interface for property template. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the Custom Properties tab in the Task Pane, click Create now. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the SOLIDWORKS Resources tab of the Task Pane, click Property Tab Builder From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > SOLIDWORKS version > SOLIDWORKS Tools > Property Tab Builder version. To create the property tab, you will need to first create a new fil...

Ever since its introduction in SOLIDWORKS 2010, Assembly Visualization has been a excellent tool to display components in an assembly based on different criteria using colors. Assembly Visualization can be used as an interactive BOM  in which you can see file name, quantity, mass, material, volume, density etc.,     ² Add colors to visualize the model property values. ² You can add new columns to show other properties of the model . Lets just add a new column to link SW-Material   ² You can sort the assembly visualization based on the properties in different columns . ² Another great option available inside Assembly Visualization is we can directly apply materials to parts. ² Use the Rollback bar to show only necessary components in Assembly Visualization ² Other Tree options   ² Starting fro m  SOLIDWORKS 2018, you can directly access Performance Analysis option inside Assembly V...
