I think YOU missed the point. Again, he is GIVING AWAY SOMETHING FOR FREE THAT NORMALLY COSTS $100 OF REAL MONEY!!! Over 10 hours of videos = HUNDREDS of hours to create. Part of the conditions for this FREE GIVEAWAY is that you do a little advertising for his services. Complaining about how diffic...

Project enough points and add lines to the points.

STL is billions of triangles. You don't need all of them to get outline.

They've tried that before. Let's see how it goes this time.
They did insist Windows 11 won't work without TPMS 2.0.

2. Save your settings in running Solidworks and restore it after install. Do run Solidworks after install, close it, restart and restore setting. SW setup registry on first run. Restoring setting before that will totally screw everything up. Windows 10 out of support means no new features. Security ...

Pick 3 points on the STL to make a plane. Sketch and extrude. Might need to extrude into the STL part to remove small gaps.

Frederick_Law

That's very high technical mumble jumble.
Another disruptive innovation.

Just did the second part:

Not being a partner doesn't mean their software/script will stop working.
It more like Dassault doesn't support it, like video drivers

Lots of user use "non-partner" macro/addin anyway.

Show all sketch constrains.

2 Rings and 1 axis.

Frederick_Law

i thought i already was talking about 3d and solid edge, so maybe you could try and get on the same level a bit (it is 2(or 1,5) rings on 1 axis) You just failed to communicate in words and pictures. You talk 3D but you sketched 2D. You talk rings and sketch 2 rectangles. Are you drawing in 4th dim...

I do understand some difficulty in paying for my projects. But I have relatives and friends from US/EU, so it is ok to send transactions to their bank cards (or even set up an employment contract with them). I also have a bitcoin wallet and an account in a US online poker room, then the transaction...

All CAD FEA are certified to within same tolerance. It's inside help somewhere.
The only reason for different result is the setup are not the same.

The path: life, is never wrong.
We made bad decisions alone the path.
We made decision base on what we know at that moment.
We can say it's a bad decision only after what happened.

It is simply another check point in life.

1: Activedoc can be part, assembly, drawing etc. Programmer should check what it is before casting to correct object. Of course, programmer could just use VB last casting.

Frederick_Law

The XYZ axis never changed. Only changed is which one you called "Front", "Top", "Right". Those Z-Up group need to figure out which one they want. Everything will have same orientation with SSP and Master Sketch. Drop them in assembly. Fix to origin. No assembly require...

Well he's not really the boss anymore. He sold the company.

Congrat on new job! Have fun and keep trying to find out which area in drafting do you like more. I think the biggest pull towards design within the building sector is that there is only so much that can be outsourced to cheaper economies. Engineering has been devastated by outsourcing to low cost e...

There are easier to print material than ABS.
PETG and PLA+
I like HTPLA but it need to bake to get strength and heat resistance.

No multibody. SSP and Master Sketch/Skeleton create and maintain links so multibody is not necessary. All you need with multibody is "ground at origin" don't need to mate. For weldment, I only have frame parts in there. Whatever add to it is in next level assembly. Multibody is a pain in e...

1. I have to know the exact assembly structure before assigning numbers. I often have to reorganize, sometimes late in the project, moving parts in an out of assemblies, forming new subassemblies, dissolving old ones, etc., which means re-naming parts to make the scheme make sense. The only alterna...

Frederick_Law

I use numbering with Assembly, Sub-assembly, part: 00-00-00
Add order number in front: 12345-00-00-00
And don't try to get continuous number. Parts are added and removed during design. Renumber everything will be painful.

I think OP need to take some entry jobs and get into specific industry.
Drafter for BIM, construction, sheetmetal, medical, plastic injection, rapid prototype, electronic, automotive, aerospace etc require different skills and knowledge. And they'll have different names for those positions.

Frederick_Law

"CAD Operator" "Detailer" "BIM" is very specific: "Building Information Modeling" My feed from indeed: "CAD Drafter" "Solidworks Drafter" "Product Designer" "Mechanical Designer" "Mechanical CAD Designer" "...

Can you share the STL file?

Frederick_Law

Yeah, that is really the annoying thing about this as opposed to other industry is that there seems to be like a dozen or more titles for what we do. For instance, if you are a nurse, you can search for "nurse" or put yourself out there as a nurse if you have that credential and there's n...
