SOLIDWOKRS TECH TIP - SOLIDWORKS PROPERTY TAB BUILDER

Image
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...

SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE ADD-IN TO EXPORT MODELS FROM SOLIDWORKS

Image
SOLIDWORKS Visualize is a standalone software package designed to take 3D CAD data and transform it into photo-realistic images and animations that are ready for print and web in minutes. The intuitive interface allows even non-technical users to develop rich, life like visual content with ease. With more robust images, internal team members and external stakeholders can quickly select, validate, improve and market their best and most robust design concepts before committing precious time and resources to a product.  The SOLIDWORKS Visualize Add-in offers four options for exporting your active model from SOLIDWORKS to SOLIDWORKS Visualize.  To use the add-in, in SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > Add-in and select SOLIDWORKS Visualize. Export Simple This option provides you with fastest way to paint and take photos of a model you created in SOLIDWORKS. To achieve faster rendering, it minimizes the number of parts in the Visualize Scene Tree. Click Export S...

CONTROL THE ACTION OF YOUR ASSEMBLY

Image
Do you want to control the action of your assembly to show different position? Look no further. Mate Controller will help you manipulate specific mates that control degrees of freedom for a design . You can edit the positions, save and recall saved positions and mate values. You can also create animations based on the saved positions. The allowable movement between components should be defined by adding mates to your assembly. Supported mate types: o  Angle o  Distance o  LimitAngle o  LimitDistance o  PathMate (Distance Along Path, Percent Along Path) o  Slot (Distance Along Slot, Percent Along Slot) o  Width (Dimension, Percent) Your assembly should include at least one supported mate type. 1.  Begin by adding supported manually or use collect all supported mates automatically 2.  Define the position by entering the mate values or using the slider and lock the values and add the position using. ...

CUSTOM MATERIAL IN SOLIDWORKS

Image
SOLIDWORKS has an extensive large material library, but some of the users often need to create new custom materials for their project or design. The ability to add custom materials enables users to calculate an accurate mass or simulation of a part or assembly. You can create custom material by following the below steps: 1) Before creating a material, we will see how to add a material to a part or assembly A) In a part, materials can be changed by going to the design tree, right clicking Material, and selecting Edit Material. 2) Now we have seen how to add material, now we will create a new material or custom material to the material library, For that you need to access material library, which can be done by searching in search box in SolidWorks or by going to Edit> Appearance> Material Edit 3) Ones the Material Dialogue box is open, scroll to the bottom of the material tree. Right click on custom material and select New Library, then create a New Category...
