how to work with sub-assemblies in SolidWorks

Before creating new components in the context of an assembly, you can specify the default behavior for saving the new components either as separate external part files or as virtual components within the assembly file. See Saving New In-Context Components.

In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click either the top-level assembly icon or the icon for an existing sub-assembly, and select Insert New Sub-assembly.Click New Assembly (Assembly toolbar) or Insert, Component, New Assembly.

In the FeatureManager design tree, an empty subassembly is inserted as the last component of the selected assembly. Virtual subassemblies appear with a name in the form [Assem n ^ assembly_name ]. Externally saved subassemblies appear with a name in the form Assem n.

Add components to the sub-assembly:

To move a component that is already in the assembly into the sub-assembly, see Dragging Components to Edit the Assembly Structure or Assembly Structure Editing.

To add an existing, saved component to the sub-assembly, right-click the sub-assembly icon in the FeatureManager design tree, and select Edit Sub-assembly. Then insert components using any of the methods in Adding Components to an Assembly.

To insert a new component into a sub-assembly, you must edit the sub-assembly in its own window. You cannot insert a new component into a sub-assembly while you are editing the top-level assembly. Also, you cannot insert a new component while you are editing the sub-assembly in the context of a higher level assembly. Right-click the sub-assembly icon in the FeatureManager design tree, and select Open Assembly to open the sub-assembly in its own window. Then add a new component.

solidoworks create curve lying on steps model

solidoworks create curve lying on steps model

Intersection curve
Intersection Curve opens a sketch and creates a sketched curve at the following kinds of intersections:

A plane and a surface or a model face

You can use the resulting sketched intersection curve in the same way that you use any sketched curve, including the following tasks:

Measure thickness at various cross sections of a part. (See steps below.)

Create sweep paths that represent the intersection of a plane and the part.

Make sections out of imported solids to create parametric parts.

To use the sketched curve to extrude a feature, the sketch that opens must be a 2D sketch. Other tasks can be performed using a 3D sketch.

To open a 2D sketch, select the plane first then click Intersection Curve.

To open a 3D sketch, click Intersection Curve first then select the plane.

solidworks get GUID for addin

Ready to take your SolidWorks macro/tool to the next level but don't know where to start? How about creating a fast, efficient .Net Taskpane add-in giving you total flexibility of your program and form designs through the .Net Framework at the same time as being in-process and perfectly integrated into SolidWorks?

After fitting as much as I could into the last 2 SolidWorks books the one thing I was always pining to get into the books was a good run down of creating Taskpane add-ins using .Net, however I did not want to cram it into the last 20 pages of a book; I wanted to cover it in depth. So, with that in mind I have decided to cover Taskpane add-ins over the next few months through our new Tutorials section of our site.

Right without any more chit-chat let's get right into it. This first tutorial will take you through creating a .Net Taskpane add-in that is registered and starts up when SolidWorks starts, becoming visible in the Taskpane tab for all to see. I will not cover any SolidWorks API stuff in this tutorial other than getting the Taskpane framework up and running the correct way (none of this Visual Studio Template Solution rubbish, let's do it properly!).

To begin with open up whatever copy of Visual Studio you have, and create a new C# (or VB.Net if you prefer) Class Library. Give it a name and click OK to create the solution and you are ready to start.
SwAddin Interface
By default Visual Studio will have created a class called Class1 to your project. Rename the filename in from the Solution Explorer to something more apt such as "SWIntegration". This should automatically rename the class name to the same, but if it doesn't rename that also.

In the class we need to add references to the SolidWorks libraries we added just, so that this class name knows where to find the SolidWorks things. To do this, take a look at the top of the file where it shows entries such as using System; (or Imports System for those in VB). These are namespace includes. Add another few lines below for the SolidWorks namespaces:

how Changing or Removing References in solidowrks

how Changing or Removing References in solidowrks

Models and Drawings generated through DriveWorks Administrator, User or Autopilot can execute a SolidWorks macro after all of the captured parameters have been driven. There are two methods available to allow this:
Run a SolidWorks macro on all models or drawings.
Run a SolidWorks macro on a single model or drawing.
The Macro
The macro must contain a module called DriveWorks, all code within a sub-routine called Main in this module will be executed by DriveWorks.
1. Run a SolidWorks macro on all models or drawings
The macro must be located in a sub-folder of the Group Content folder called Macros. They must have the names as listed below.
There are four types of macro that can be executed:
Model.swp - will be run on all models before any individual macros have been executed
ModelAfterMacro.swp - will be run on all models after any individual macros have been executed
Drawing.swp - will be run on all drawings before any individual macros have been executed
DrawingAfterMacro.swp - will be run on all drawings after any individual macros have been executed
Information on locating the Group Content Folder can be found in General Settings
The Macros that are to be used globally must be stored in a folder called "Macros", for example, if the Group content folder is found at "C:\DriveWorks\My Project\" then the global macros folder should be found at "C:\DriveWorks\My Project\Macros"
2. Run a SolidWorks macro on a single model or drawing
The macro must be located in the same location as the master model or drawing.
The name of the macro must be the same as the master model it is to be run on, as drawings can have the same name as a model a macro to be run on a drawing must have Draw appended to the file name.
For example the SolidWorks documents:
MyAssembly.sldasm will have a macro named MyAssembly.swp
MyPart.sldprt will have a macro named MyPart.swp
MyDrawing.slddrw will have a macro named MyDrawingDraw.swp
Example
This example requires a custom property in the SolidWorks model the macro will be run on called SaveLocation. This custom property can be captured and the model will be saved to the location, with the file name and extension driven into the custom property value.
For example if the custom property SaveLocation results in the value C:\DriveWorks\Images\Project1005.jpg the model will be saved to C:\DriveWorks\Images as a .jpg image file.
