hi, I have a part I am moving a sketch from a part surface to a plane that is the same distance as the current face is from front plane. now when I go replace sketch plane and deselect the face and then select the new plane, my sketch flips 180 degrees I have tried to reselect the original face and ...

Hi,

think I figured it out using the intersect command and yes separate body in the same part

Hi,

I am making a busbar and want to put the insulation on it and I took and offset the surface by 0 for the inner surface and with 1 surface and by 1.0 for the outside surface, how do I form a solid with these 2 surfaces or is there a better way?
Regards,
Jim

Hi all,

well it happened again the red line indicates the sketch (147) I am in and the orange was where I had the part rolled back to before I went to drag a center point with detach with drag on and the sketch 10 was shown so I will play how this happens?

Regards,
Jim

Hi again, I really can't post a screen shot, but to say your editing step 15 and suddenly the rollback goes all the way up to 3 so any feature between the 3-15 are gone, yet somehow I am still editing 15 and if you are trying to reference a feature lets say step 5 it no longer exists so I rebuild an...

Hi all, This has happened before and I usually just ignore as it doesn't effect what I am working on, but I had a lets say 20 feature part all with their own sketches Now I am editing sketch 15 of feature 15 and all of a sudden the file rolls back to feature 3 and features 3-15 are gone from view. 1...

Hi, Still on 2019, but curious, can you rename files in explorer as that was the only function I used that was part of Solidworks explorer, been a long while since I used that directly image.png Also do you still have the option of changing a reference on a drawing or assembly image.png Regards, Jim

Hi, I believe what a few have said is to have the person exporting from Solid Edge to save it as a Parasolid or ".XT" file type which is the native kernal for Solidworks and UG. Less translation errors should occur. Going to open the file in Solidworks use the toggle as it might be set at ...

Hi all, Haven't had a chance to get back to this post, but had my IT guy increase my GDI limits and that did help, although had 1 assembly and a copy another coworker did, one was on my local and the other was in our vault or PDM well the one on my hard drive was around 2000 GDI's the one from the v...

Hi all, Not sure if this is in the correct section if not please move to the correct section. I am running Solidworks 2019 SP-4.0 and working in the office my GDI's are in the 2000 range now working remotely they seem to creep up over time and then get the resource running low message and then event...

Hi,

Tried the simulationxpress for the first time evidently I don't have the inputs correct:

Hi again,

This is what I was thinking the one sketch is the at rest position:
This is really my first time doing snap features on plastic and just trying to get my head around what is going on so to speak

Regards,

Hi, I am currently modeling a few different snap features to retain a cover to a plate and circuit card between the 2 and having trouble visualizing what the snap looks like or how I would model it in the collapsed condition: image.png you can see it doesn't look right maybe I need to use splines? I...

Hi all, Well I jumped on the bandwagon, tried the New thing this morning and what a pain in the A$$ and still couldn't make heads or tails out of anything. Also some of the google links to the old forum send you to a visual basic page, so now google is useless resource, although you can see old post...
