SolidWorks Labs

August 13, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

One of the more fascinating groups at SolidWorks Corp is SolidWorks Labs. The R&D members in this group really have no central location from which they operate. They are dispersed throughout the world. They work by taking tons of input from many different sources and funnelling these into their group for development. Technology they develop [...]

Secret Spy Photos within SolidWorks Headquarters

August 13, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

Several fellow bloggers and I were recently fortunate enough to be taken on a tour of the SolidWorks headquarters in Concord, MA. Not many have the clearance for such an honor. (That last of such tours was conducted on April 1, 2005.) The onsite DNA analysis required samples that I now regret giving up. The [...]

Dimensional limits related to an origin

August 7, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

In SolidWorks 2007 drawing mode, the ability to change the size of individual dimension arrows (so that they were different than the drawing) was limited to a tricky use of favorites. Starting with SolidWorks 2008, that situation improved. SolidWorks now allows the user to set the size for individual dimension arrows. For [...]

It’s All Over!

July 25, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

ASME Y14.5M-2009 has been out for a little while now (after almost a year’s delay). There are significant improvements and clarifications. One addition in particular caught my attention, the ALL OVER symbol. When applied to a Profile of a Surface, it pretty much defines the entire shape of a part in every direction (not just [...]
