Categories:

Where I just imported the latest iteration of the building, I thought I give you all a quick project update. Currently, the upper level assembly has 4550 parts in it and 10,500 bodies (I need to dig into the assembly to find out why). There’s 383 Sub-assemblies, so there are only 14 mates being resolved …

Dealing with imported data

Categories:

This will be a short post but, hopefully, a useful one. Have you ever imported a non-native SolidWorks file only to see errors? If you right click on one of those errors, you’ll see an option called ‘Import Diagnostics’. Choosing that will bring up a new dialogue box that gives you a list of the …

New Tools for you!

Categories:

First, let’s talk about SolidJott. The brainchild of our Canadian friend, Ben Eadie (of SolidMentor.com fame), SolidJott has quickly transformed from a helpful website to a full-blown SolidWorks add-in.

Working with large assemblies

Categories:

First, an apology. I’ve been absolutely slammed at work lately and just haven’t been able to put the time aside to write. I’m sorry. On to the subject of this post, though the title may be a bit misleading. I know that there are people out there who are creating 20-, 30-, even 100,000 part …

Who should I interview? What to ask?

Categories:

SolidWorks World 2009 is just around the corner and I can’t wait. I’ll not get on the "why you should go" soapbox this time. You’ve heard it plenty of times I’m sure. This year, I have the opportunity to interview one, or more, SolidWorks employees. Who would you interview if given the chance? What would …

SolidWorks Success Stories

Categories:

A couple of years ago, I visited SolidWorks headquarters in Concord, MA. I’d just started writing this blog and went to meet with some of the people who worked with Partner companies. One of the things that stands out from that visit was a hallway filled with stuff that had been designed in SolidWorks. At …

SolidWorks and Architecture

Categories:

I’ve talk, briefly, about the project I’m working on in past posts. I don’t know how much detail I actually got into (and I’m too lazy to go and look), but I wanted to talk about the architectural aspect of it. Yes, I’m using SolidWorks for architectural "stuff".
