Tips & Tricks, the sequel
Back in June, I posted a quick SolidWorks T & T post that seemed to be well received, so I figured I’d post another one.
- ‘Ctrl’+8 will change view to Normal to. Hitting it again will flip to the opposite side.
- F5 turns your filter toolbar on/off. F6 clears enabled filters.
- To created geometry without snapping, hold down ‘ctrl’ before or after dragging to disable inferencing.
- Repair broken sketch relationships by dragging, or manually repair by using relations.
- Name your features, it’ll make your life easier down the road.
- If working in a multi-user environment, enable multi-user environment to receive update notices (Tools->options->collaboration).
- If you use variations of the same part, you owe it to yourself to check out DriveWorksXpress.
- Always use fully defined sketches. Trust me.
Tips & Tricks sessions are always popular at SWUG meetings and at SolidWorks World. It looks like there’s a least 5 different T&T sessions at SWW’10. If you’re planning on attending, make sure you get there early, you’ll want to be able to take notes.
