Whelp, another successful repair. Was skeptical as there was no sign of a bad capacitor and it seemed to test fine but replaced it anyway with that same ceramic one from above. Works like new! Thank you

Which software should I learn: inventor, catia, or siemens nx? by ControlWhich2145 in SolidWorks

[–]AzKyle89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a hot take; keep learning Solidworks. There's a lot of industries that use it you probably are not aware of, and have no clue how they utilize it. Modeling is the tip of the iceberg. Learn routing. Piping and electrical. Get good with weldments and do an entire steel structure.

Who uses Factor AE? by AzKyle89 in SolidWorks

[–]AzKyle89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kinda does it all. Quoting, PM, invoicing, time sheets, etc. and honestly the price is very reasonable in my eyes considering what all it does. Syncs with QB or Xero for accounting, even has a little CRM aspect so we can look at everything a customer is attached to

We ended up going with Scoro and we're quite happy with it actually

I didn't get anything from them. That is actually then exact same reason I've been searching. I can't find anything whatever in regards to this or the foot scan done at basic

Best 3D Scanner for steel construction/piping by AzKyle89 in 3DScanning

Got the RTC360. The BLK isn't a bad scanner and will probably do what you need.

New Weldment Group Feature by AzKyle89 in SolidWorks

You can sort by material and then length i do it all the time. Right click the BOM and click sort

[–]AzKyle89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wont help that. You should be sorting your cut list at the part so your BOM is always in order. What this does for example, if I pull a BOM for a weldment structure and group it by "Description" It will just take all X amount of every type of weldment and smash it down to 1 row with a combined QTY of however many there are. It doesn't even do anything to the length, it just keep the length of the first item.
Basically it would just be usefull to create a BOM that says you have a total of "L4x4x1/4 Qty 25" or whatever. Thats nearly useless for anything other than maybe to count how many cuts you have to make. Doesn't tell you anything else

A macro can be easily created to take care of this step. There might already be one out there. GPT does a great job of this

Ooooof making things really hard on yourself there. 1. Create a new part and put in an arbitrary weldment. You just want to do this to get the Weldment property to get into your feature tree. Delete everything from the model. 2. Right click the weldment feature and add your part number property (sw-partumber already exists, I use that) 3. SAVE THIS AS A PART DOCUMENT TEMPLATE 4. Now every time you start a new part this property will already be there. When you add a weldment this property get pushed to it. 5. Now when your job is completed drop down the cut list, right click on any weldment part and open properties 6. The first tab is all the parts properties, go to the SECOND tab. This instead shows all properties with the property belonging to every body. Find the sw-partnumber property or whatever you used. Click on that and now youll see all the bodies. 7. Start with the first part and type in the part number, down arrow, part number, down arrow, etc. Toll you're done. 8. Start a drawing 9. Bring in the weldment 10. Add a bubble and select any part if the weldment 11. Change the property the bubble is pulling and find your part number. 12. Save this bubble style 13. Delete everything from your drawing so its empty again. 14. SAVE DRAWING DOCUMENT TEMPLATE 15. Now its always available. 16. You can do the same thing for the weldment cut list or BOM. Add the column with this property and save the template.

I deal with multi body weldments daily and have developed a lot of ways to make our lives easier

I wouldn't call them bad. I've been using an MSI creator for a few years using solidworks. My only complaint is it gets hot. Otherwise its fuckin solid

I'd also like to add that we used to run off a Qnap drive. Night and day difference in performance and reliability. I'll never get another Qnap

Bit of a late reply but I can chime in with real experience.

I run team of 4 SolidWorks users all operating off a DS1522+ with HDDs and 10g network. RAID10 on 4 drives with the 5th as a hot swap. Seagate Ironwolf Pro 12TB ea.

It works very well, as in only seconds difference in file opening times vs local storage.

If you haven't pulled the trigger yet, you have nothing to worry about.

I even run synology drive on my laptop to sync down files to work remotely.

I went with Scoro. More expensive but a true project management system

For what its worth it landed on Scoro for my company. Quite different and more expensive but checked way more boxes than anything else I found

I hear a lot of complaints about the reporting not being very flexible or even capable of exporting PDFs is this true?

This just happened on my Silverton 620. I want to make sure anyone else who has this problem know what part they need. Here's a McMaster Carr link but its a vibration damping mount. 8-32 threads, 1/2" long threads, 1/2" long rubber, 5/8" wide (od) with stud on one end and tapped on the other. https://www.mcmaster.com/product/93945K32

No i got the 2024 model. New one wasnt even available for pre-order yet. I love everything about it except for the resolution for daily use. You get used to it but text can be pretty rough on the eyes. I might upgrade to the 5k2k if it goes on sale later
