When working in SOLIDWORKS Electrical, there may be a time when items such as manufacturer parts, cable parts, symbols, and title blocks need to be updated or replaced. This can be quite the tedious process if there is a large number of that item in your project. Luckily, SOLIDWORKS has a solution for this: the Replace Data command.

3DEXPERIENCE users often ask, “How can I release an assembly and all of its parts, sub-assemblies, and related files (especially drawings)?” Releasing all the sub-assemblies and parts (either manually or from a Change Action) is fairly easy, but also including all of the drawings is a bit more challenging. This blog explains an easy way to accomplish this.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform contains numerous web-based apps and features; however, many of the 3DEXPERIENCE tools can also be used in conjunction with the SOLIDWORKS desktop application. Creating a hybrid of the two allows you to retain your workflow and interface while also leveraging Cloud capabilities for storing files, sharing files with others, and collaborating with fellow users. This blog post will cover how to link the two systems together using the Design with SOLIDWORKS application, and then show you how to easily start saving to the cloud and managing your cache in SOLIDWORKS desktop.

In Tech Support, we're often asked, “How do you change the orientation of a slot using the SOLIDWORKS Hole Wizard feature?”. While there are a few ways to do this, this blog will demonstrate one of the easiest methods. It will also show you how to link this orientation value to an equation for easily changing the angle.

Across the nation, GoEngineer customers utilize government grants, funds, and similar programs to offset the cost of purchasing GoEngineer’s SOLIDWORKS training courses. To make SOLIDWORKS training more accessible for businesses who otherwise can’t afford the costs, we’ve put together a shortlist of state-wide training grants that your company can tap into today.

CAMWorks Network licenses will sometimes forget what licenses to check out when you start the software. It knows it has a valid CAMWorks license, but the modules for the licenses don’t get pulled with the license. This can lead to greyed-out toolpaths or odd error prompts when clicking through the tabs. This can be easily fixed by reassigning the modules back to the software.

Tool Palettes is a new feature in the Palettes section of the DraftSight 2024 user interface, providing quick access to various tools, commands, properties, and resources. This tutorial offers instructions for creating and modifying Tool Palettes.

In its infancy, 3D printing was primarily used for prototypes and passion projects. If the end result looked good and held together for a few hours, it passed the test. But times have changed. Engineers now expect printed parts to survive stress, heat, and real-world use. That shift, from hobby to heavy duty, hinges on one factor: better materials.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS (SOLIDWORKS Connected) and the Design with SOLIDWORKS add-in can be uninstalled directly from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This guide outlines the process.
