This design requires the use of Extruded Boss, Extruded Cut, Revolved Boss, Fillet and Shell commands, which represent a few of the most common SOLIDWORKS features. In this example, we’ll be modeling the cowbell seen below. We will introduce you to some of the most basic and widely-used features in SOLIDWORKS, exploring their various properties and applications so you can get a head start on your next project. Whether you’re trying to add or remove material from your part, hollow it out, or round off the corners, there’s likely a feature (or combination thereof) that can get the job done. All of these articles will be stored in the category of ' SOLIDWORKS What's New.' You can also learn more about SOLIDWORKS 2016 by clicking on the image below to register for one of CATI’s Design Summit’s.While sketches may be the foundation of a well-designed SOLIDWORKS model, features are like the bricks and mortar.

We hope this part of the What’s New series gives you a better understanding of the new features and functions of SOLIDWORKS 2016. Please check back to the CATI Blog as the CATI Support Team will continue to break down many of the new items in SOLIDWORKS 2016. The spacing for the remaining points adjusts to remain equidistance to each other along the sketch entity. Delete a sketch point, select a point or multiple points and right-click and Delete or press the Delete key on the keyboard. To delete sketch points: Open the sketch used with the segment tool. The sketch will update with the specified segments. In the Property Manager, edit the Number of Instances and click. Right-click on a point and click Edit Segment Points. To edit sketch points: Open the sketch used with the segment tool. When Sketch segments is selected, the geometry is segmented by splitting the entity into separate segments and an equal length relationship to each segment. If you drag or resize the geometry, the sketch points will automaticlly adjust to remain equidistant along the segment. A Equidistant relationship is placed at each point. The geomtry remains as 1 sketch entity and the points are spaced evently. When Sketch points is selected, the geometry is segmented by adding points in the specified number. There are 2 radio buttons to determine how to segment your entities: Sketch points and Sketch segments. Line, arc or circle selection to be segmented:.When Segment is selected, the Property Manager displays Segment Parameters. For this example, a circle and line is used. It is located under Tools > Sketch Tools > Segment.ĭraw an arc, circle or line and go to Tools > Sketch Tools > Segment. There’s a new sketch tool in SOLIDWORKS called Segment.
