DimXpert – Automated GTOL

Dimxpert

Let’s talk some more about SolidWorks 2008 improvements, shall we?
SolidWorks has taken their "Autodimensioning" to a whole new level. No matter how you’ve actually dimensioned your model, you can automatically create geometric dimensions and tolerances according to ASME Y14.41-2003 3D specs. After applying said dims and tols, you can easily tell if the model is fully dimensioned (constrained) with the click of a button. Green means it’s good, red means it’s over-constrained and yellow means it’s under-constrained. Once you’re done here, you can easily create your drawing, or publish an edrawing, with all the pertinent dims and tolerances. How much easier is this going to make your life? With just a couple of button clicks, you can have a fully detailed drawing ready for manufacture!

    works good for detail parts, but man was it a pain trying to set it up for an assembly. I’m not even sure I tried to finish.
    Our stack-up tolerances come in when things are slapped together, they’re not really tight but we need to make sure they are within .03-06.
    Would be nice to easily set it at an assembly level as well. Have you messed with it any further on assemblies? If so, let me know.
