Short and sweet! Perfect explanation ty
Thank you!!
Hi im trying to do the same as you, i also have an inventor .ipt file. I also need to add a 3d texture. what kind of magic did you do to add the texture to a curved surface? my 3d textures only work on my flat surfaces
You may just need to show the solid bodies folder in your system options so that you can select the body after you apply the appearance to the face. thats where i see most people go wrong!
Ty, how you do the same but to an specific folder, I mean how you export for example step file to a downloads folder with a single click ?
you would just need to change this line FullPath = Left(ModelPath, Len(ModelPath) - 7) and of course the .STL extension in the following line. It would take a little different string manipulation to just get the Filename or you could use a different command to get it.
could be as simple as FullPath = "C:\Users\Garrett\Downloads\" & SwModel.GetTitle however depending on your SOLIDWORKS settings title could be with the extension or without.
@@solidworksfeaturefriday2113 Ty so much
I can help you with this question but I'm afraid you won't care for the answer. The problem is that STEP files contain logical surfaces that are described by their boundaries, it can surfaces or solids. A STL or PLY or other scan data is a collection of points that do not describe the boundaries of a face. There are tools to convert like ScanTo3D or Geomagic that you will want to investigate. These tools can help build the surfaces needed to export to a STEP.
Great videos! I'm a Newbe to SolidWorks that is stumped, maybe you can help me, please. I downloaded a few models from the web, files that I think came from lidar scans, the geo is very heavy and messy. I need to send the assembly as a .step file, but the exported file size is way to small and nothing is in it, UGH! Do I have to do anything to the files that are being referenced? The current .SLDASM is 468,832KB and the exported .STEP files are 42KB, some are even 2KB. That can't be right. Thanks for you help with this and keep up the good work with the videos. I need all the help I can get.
Greetings thanks for the advice I Got a question muy friend, is that tank designed according to any ASME norm?
probably not it is just the sample file from the routing tutorial.
thanks man
very helpful video
Thanks so much for all the amazing tutorials. I really enjoyed them and learned a lot.
It's a real bummer that you've stopped creating SolidWorks tutorials. Your channel was hands-down one of the best places to learn the software.
Thanks! Not done yet, now that I am starting to see more viewers and subscribers I will start posting videos again soon.
thank you.
You're welcome
Full row highlight is awesome too! Fan of your channel; short, quick to the point video's.
thanks yeah I totally forgot about that one! I try to make these as short as possible but that is a great one!
Thanks, I did not know the merge. Did you make the intelligent note?
no didnt need to do anything to the note, just created a design library feature once, then reuse it over and over.
This was very helpful and told me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
Oooh thats a nice tip! Thanks dude!
No problem!
great tip
Glad it was helpful!
Please make a video how to create and save part and drawing templates
Hello, Your code help me to create macro button "save drawing as .pdf" Thanks a lot ! Best regards from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
You are welcome!
What did you change in the code for that? Or does it stay the same for drawing , part and assembly
@@rocketraccoon9596 This code will work for a drawing as well if you want to save a PDF. just change the extension .stl to .pdf
Ty
I'm trying to convert entity from the surface but it wont let me. I just want to project entities onto my sketch from another part. For example like projecting circles from holes to a sketch.
This helped me a lot when I was reverse engineering a complicated mesh model. I can elaborate if anyone's interested!!
U forgot to show us how to get there quicker 😅 but maybe because you wete sick. I sometimes move entities. Modify looks more powerful thought.
SW really need to add make independent with drawing so it also auto generates a drawing file referenced by the new file that you just made. I have a macro that does this, but it's just a no brainer for SW team to add.
Could you share your macro please?
How do u enable the sheet format selector for your own custom templates? I always have one sheet format for one template file. Can u explain please.
Cool
How about the other gray folders that are still there after selecting that option? Aren't those local as well? Why are they still showing up. Thanks!
Can you give me some tips how can work precise for office because i am fresher my work speed is kinda slow 🙏
I will helpful to me. Thanks you ❤😊
When make a part indepentent in Solidworks 2023, the software open that part separately everytime. Really annoying. Do you know how to disable it? Can't find this feature on settings to disable
its probaby in a message you dismissed, go into your system options and bring back your dismissed messages, or look through them to find the one causing the issue.
I actually saw a ticket in support yesterday....this may be a bug in 2023.
@@solidworksfeaturefriday2113 maybe but I doesn't look like a bug. It's more like a new feature but no option to disable this. I work on assemblies more than 7k parts. And everytime I make a part independent for changing the dimensions through assembly. This feature everytime opens part on another window
@@SuzukiGsxr7500 Unfortunately it is a bug BR10000362766 if you contact your reseller you can get added to it so that they fix it asap.
why cannot make a sketch from the section view?
Also my question.
This tutorial is very nice sir
So perfect sir
Amazing this lecture sir
Smashing, thanks a lot, that is perfect!
Thank you so much. In a few minutes I´ve learned just wanted to know.
Thanks mate this is great
Oh man! Why is this not more known? Thank you so much. All these years been doing it the hard way.

Hi, is it possible to use C# vsta file instead of swp file?
Unfortunately no it must be a .SWP file type so the .csproj type will not work.
My lock and unlock buttons are greyed out. Is it possible the PDM is preventing those from being used?
Hello i would like to save PDFs but in my desktop because am using SolidWorks PDM so i don't want that the file get saved in SW EPDM so how can i modify the code to have the file save in my desktop
in the output file details of the pdm task configuration you can change the path to outside the vault assuming you are using PDM pro. If you are using PDM standard you cannot save outside via task.
I didnt know the tip CTRL+A for select all dimensions, thank you, it will be usefull for me.
Thanks!
great tip thank you
it was very helpful thank you so much
Thank you! maybe you will have more viewers by giving shorts tricks like this one that make using solidworks easier like how to change xyz view using keyboard, change xyz plan after construction, proportional distances,...
I have been using solidworks for +10 years... and didn't know that Shift select lets you tag transparent items! Thanks! Good tutorial on Join Parts btw!
Thanks. Nice tip.
this is a nice feature where is the Slit command, is it a macro? im new at this so probably a dumb question I tried several things never worked for me. thanks
This is very useful thanks!
