If you’ve worked with Weldments, in SolidWorks, before, you’ve probably utilized the weldment cut list in a drawing to keep track of structural members. If you haven’t, the Weldment cut list functions as a Bill of Materials for parts that utilize structural members. Because the weldment cut list applies to multi-bodied parts, you can use… Read more »

Speed up Your SolidWorks Modeling Process with Contour Selection
Reusing sketch geometry can save you quite a bit of time in SolidWorks. Rather than creating multiple parallel sketches to produce different features, you can create a single sketch which can then be used for multiple features. This can be achieved using the contour select tool or the select contour box, in the property manager,… Read more »

Combining parts within SolidWorks is a fairly simple process. Two methods are to save your assembly as a part file or to use the insert part command to combine parts into one file. The first, saving an assembly as a part, replaces the parts with surfaces that represent the bodies within an assembly, eliminating any… Read more »
