Interference detection in SOLIDWORKS is a tool that helps find overlapping  parts in an assembly. It ensures all components fit together correctly and  prevents problems during manufacturing or assembly. How to use in SOLIDWORKS: Step: 1 ➢ Open Your assembly in SOLIDWORKS ➢ Go to Evaluate Tab > Interference Detection. Step: 2 In Selection Components, the top-level assembly is selected by  default, or we can manually select specific components Exclude Components:  Excludes specific components from the interference analysis. Hide Excluded Components from View:  Hides the excluded components in the graphics area. Step: 3 After selecting, the Options group helps to adjust the detection  settings. ➢ Treat coincidence as  interference: Consider coincident  entities as interferences. ➢ Show ignored interferences:  Displays ignored interferences in  the Results list. ➢ Treat subassemblies as  components: Consider  subassemblies as s...

Open new part document Click  New  (Standard toolbar) or  File > New . In the dialog box, select “ Part ” or your standard custom part document. Then open the “ File Properties ” using the icon as shown in the below image. The properties dialog box is opened, under the “ custom ” & “ Configuration Properties ” tab we add the SOLIDWORKS part template file properties Adding Properties: • First row is provided but it is empty so lets start adding the properties • Start with “ Property Name ” by drop down it shows a pre-made set of items were displayed in the list. I select “ Drawn By ”. • Second column is the “ Type ” we need to choose how to display the property I  select the “ Text ” type. • Then move to “ Value / Text Expression ” here is where we need to enter who  drawn the model. • The Last is the “ Evaluated Value ” this will be the value shows once the property  is called upon. • Auto Populating Properties like material, weight have their own Va...

When sharing  SOLIDWORKS  models externally, it’s often important to keep your design confidential to protect your intellectual property. In this blog, we’ll see the options available for  REMOVING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FROM SOLIDWORKS  files. 1. Defeature: Defeature is a tool where you can remove details from a part or assembly and save the results to a new file in which the details are replaced by dumb solids (that is, solids without feature definition or history). You can then share the new file without revealing all the design details of the model. Click Tools pull-down menu > Click Defeature This will then open up a simple 3-step wizard, which will help manage what you want to remove and hide from those spying eyes. The options available will depend on the file type you are working on: Defeature – Components, Bodies For assemblies, you can specify components to remove from the model. For multibody parts, you can specify bodies to remove from the model. Defeat...

In   SOLIDWORKS , when working with large assemblies that include multiple subassemblies, selecting individual components can become a significant challenge. The standard method of selecting components from the Feature Manager design tree can be inefficient, as it often includes subassemblies, making it difficult to isolate and select the desired parts. This blog will explore the challenges of selecting components in large assemblies and introduce the concept of using a selection tool to streamline the process. By utilizing advanced search techniques, you can efficiently select all parts within an assembly, whether they are in the main assembly or nested within subassemblies. This approach helps improve efficiency, especially when dealing with large and complex assemblies in  SOLIDWORKS . Advanced Select in SOLIDWORKS SOLIDWORKS  allows users to select components based on their properties using the built-in selection options. For example, it offers the ability to select a...
