There is a wide range of keyboard shortcuts and quick clicks in SOLIDWORKS that many seasoned users are familiar with. They make modeling faster than if you didn’t know these hotkeys. But did you know that there are also Zoom shortcuts? With video conferencing becoming ever more widely used, Zoom has become a staple means of communication.

Showing cosmetic threads in SOLIDWORKS is a great way to display threaded parts without modeling the geometry. This is useful when threads are needed only as a graphical depiction. When cosmetic threads are used in SOLIDWORKS on the part level, it is often desirable to show them within the assembly as well. With this option come several different settings that drive the display of cosmetic threads along with other annotations. 

 

Trailer design is an engineering challenge that is made easier by robust, yet flexible CAD tools. SOLIDWORKS Weldments is well-suited for this endeavor with intuitive features that make modeling this and other structures a lean process.

Recently, we received our Stratasys F120 3D printer. We’ve been eager to get off some cool prints that showcase its 3D Printing capabilities. One of the ideas that I’ve had is to print the components for a frameless wall clock. I had one in college and thought it would be great to do a custom, GoEngineer-themed clock for the office.
