TECH TIPS
& RESOURCES

A Use for Multiple Split Lines:
If you frequently use the SPLIT LINE feature break single faces into sub-regions, for the precise placement of a load or boundary condition you have noticed that the SPLIT LINE command only works on one closed contour at a time. There might be a way to inscribe multiple SPLITs without so many steps.
If the face you are splitting is planar, cylindrical, or conical, you can use the command INSERT – FEATURES – WRAP. This command was intended for taking a planar sketch, and wrapping it upon a curved face. It just so happens, it works fine on planar faces, too. And, unlike the SPLIT LINE command, the “Inscribe” option of WRAP will correctly handle multiple closed contours. However, one limitation that WRAP has, that SPLIT LINE does not, is that the WRAP command only expects to act within the confines of a single face. So it is a cool trick that works for multiple contours, but they must lie within a single face, and the face must not have any compound curvature.
Using SolidWorks Property Tab Builder:
SolidWorks provides a tool for easily adding custom properties to multiple part and assembly files efficiently called the Property Tab Builder. This tech tip will cover using the SolidWorks Property Tab Builder to add the "Material" custom property to all of the components in our main assembly file.
To start SolidWorks Property Tab Builder go to Start, All Programs, SolidWorks 2011, SolidWorks Tools, Property Tab Builder.
To add the custom property, drag a textbox from the left pane into the Groupbox in the center pane. This will add the blank property and the right pane will display the Control Attributes for the custom property you are adding. Make sure that you drag the Textbox into the Groupbox
and not outside in the blank space ...Read more >> |
