TECH TIPS & RESOURCES

Sketching Tip - Virtual Sharp:
Here’s a quick little tip that might save you some time. Sometimes in a sketch (or in a Drawing) we need a point entity located at the virtual, or imaginary, intersection of two lines. With no command active simply CTRL-select the two lines and then issue the Point command. This will place a point entity at the virtual intersection. You can now dimension to or constrain geometry to this point so to easily satisfy your design requirements.

SolidWorks Content:
Did you know that SolidWorks provides instant access to thousands and thousands of standard models and data. Some of the content available includes: Structural Members for Weldments in various standards (think steel shapes such as square tubing, c-channel, wide flange, etc.), Piping components for Routing in various standards (flanges, fittings, etc.), Robotic components (LEGO, FIRST, etc.), Electronic Components for CircuitWorks (ICs, resistors, coils, transistors, etc.), and symbol libraries for schematics and P&IDs. You can access these components through the Design Library. At the bottom of the "tree" in the top pane of the Design Library you will see a node that says "SolidWorks Content." By selecting this item in the top pane you can access the various folders that contain these types of models/blocks. Then, CTRL+click on the library of your choice to download a zip file containing a huge variety of models and data for that particular category. Unzip the downloaded file and place the extracted folders and files in the appropriate location on your hard drive or network. This information and data can save you hours or even days of internet searching or creating this content from scratch.
