HOW TO CHANGE EXISTING SW FILE SYSTEM OPTIONS

August 22, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

I have heard this request many times so putting it up over here. The whole credit for this should go to Stefan Berlitz of http://solidworks.cad.de/ http://swtools.cad.de . Without his wonderful macro, this option might not have been possible.

Before starting the process I will strongly advise you to make a backup of the files.

Open you part, [...]

New Online Resource: GIS Skills for Engineers

August 4, 2009 in AutoCAD, CAD

Over the last several months, I have had the pleasure of facilitating a number of seminars in Canada and the United States aimed at demonstrating the six crucial GIS skills needed by Engineering and CAD professionals. I have blogged about this seminar series in the past. This time I want to call your attention to a great resource entitled GIS Skills for Engineers that is now available via the web. This resource is part of Autodesk’s help documentation for AutoCAD Map 3D and highlights a number of important GIS skills including:

Data Preparation
Data Conversion
Data Access
Data Editing
Data Management
Styling and Theming Features
Analysis
Sharing Data with Others
Map Layout and Cartography
Printing, Plotting, and Publishing

The best part of GIS Skills for Engineers is the accompanying animations which demonstrate the skills in action. For example, if you wanted to know how to perform a polygon overlay analysis to determine which parcels in a city fall within zones classified as “Retail”, check out this animation.

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 [...]

July 7, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

My articles on Empty Views in SolidWorks have been long in coming. This is not due to the topic being complex or anything. It’s just taken me that long to get around to this series. (There’s been a lot of other stuff to talk about in the meantime, such as SolidWorks World 2009, something called …
