To perform a rendering is so much easier and faster in SOLIDWORKS because it is integrated with Photoview360. We can create stunning realistic images just like picture below by applying appearance, background, lighting and camera view on it. However, to generate a...

The accuracy of results extracted from SOLIDWORKS Simulation is crucial especially in areas of high stress such as sharp end or cutouts regions. One of the enhancement in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2016 is really helpful for me when I am doing Analysis projects. I can now...

I recall vividly that I demonstrated Swept flange during SOLIDWORKS INNOVATION DAY year of 2012. It is a great tool and makes sheet metal design work so much easier using a profile and sketch. However, in certain circumstances in previous versions of SolidWorks,...

I have been SOLIDWORKS user for more than 7 years since 2008. I always start the drawing in the wrong sheet scale and end up having to go through so many steps to correct it! So it used to take 5 steps/clicks to complete the change:   Right click on sheet >...

I have to admit this is my greatest fear – one click ago, the assembly was fine, make one wrong click (deleting a sketch or feature), and BOOM – mate references are lost and the FeatureManager design tree turns into a red Christmas tree. Especially when this certain...

I like how SOLIDWORKS is always focused on users’ demand in terms of software enhancements. Other than adding new features, it doesn’t neglect the existing features. Sweep is a feature I use a lot, and this enhancement just saved me so many mouse-clicks and time in...

When working with midpoints, I never liked to have to create a point at middle of a line/ curve in order to add relationship or perform any action to other entities. Also, you could only select midpoints of model edges while dimensioning using Select Midpointfrom...

Being a fussy user, I tend to count the number of mouse clicks required to complete a task in SOLIDWORKS; I am impressed that the developers seem to read my mind J   In SW2016, there is a new option to select “all inner loops” within the convert entities tool that...

  Often when designing complex parts and assemblies, I lose track of the parent and child dependencies and end up with errors all over after changing one feature. It’s annoying to have to then check all parent and child dependencies to resolve the error.   One of my...
